I was driving through the hood on Thursday evening when I saw the tell-tale signs of an estate sale. Cars parked all caddywompus along 15th Avenue, a bunch of malcontents blocking the sidewalk complaining about all the malcontents blocking the sidewalk. You know, the usual. Sure enough, it was indeed a sale...just a few minutes before it opened. I made a U-turn, brought Hazel the dog home and drove back, all in about 45 seconds. The sale was a little fancy pants for my taste, but I found a few goodies.
A couple of red oak farm chairs,
A fantastic olive green Smith Corona typewriter, a print of
Lord Fauntleroy,
and 3 small French bowls. (You
know how I love anything Frenchy.) The messages are: "Love transcends reason", "One is always 20 years old in some corner of the heart" and "Far from sight, close to my heart".
Swoon.

Yes i swooned when i saw that typewriter lol what great finds love those sayings too.
Wonderful typewriter! I found an old Royal Quiet De Luxe last month and blogged about it. I love it!
G*A*S*P! My first reaction to the typewriter. I know have 2 (1 electric, 1 not but really because my son grabbed up the first one for his own) like it... both estate sale finds. The French bowls are precious.
Caddywompus...first time I hear this word, but it's a great sounding word, lol!
Love your finds.
An estate sale in the evening? Never heard of that! I wish they'd do that around here, so maybe I wouldn't run into the same old malcontents that I see at every single morning estate sale! Looooove that typewriter
Love those chairs! I am glad you made the turnaround! hugs, Linda
And I'm incredibly jealous of your finds. I can totally see myself on one of those orange chairs, parked behind a wobbling table clanking away all hours of the night on that olive typewriter.

Such good finds. I love those little dishes with sweet sayings. I am a sucker for things like that. The little chairs are adorable.

I love the shape & color of the farm chairs and I'm a sucker for anything French too! Will you be using the typewriter or just using it for display?
Those bowls are adorable but I love the typewriter! I miss using those and hearing the ding when you get to the end of the line!
I would be one of those malcontents! Love the french dishes.

Fun finds! I love estate sales!
I love the "blocking the sidewalk" comment - so true! Nice finds.
I am definitely always 20 years old in a big corner of my heart!
Great finds. Thanks for sharing!
Oh the chairs!! (The husband has banned me from buying chairs, so I must live vicariously through others!)
