The Estate Sale Before Work at Lakeshore

I love estate sales that happen to be a half a mile away from where I work. Such a good way to start your day! (The best part of wakin up is spending moooonnneeyyy). The sale was located in one of the fancy condos on Lakeshore. The condo was so pretty and had a great view of the half frozen lake. I very silly enough did not get picture of the view. I did though get a picture of the EPIC KITCHEN. 

My semi-smart phone can't do the kitchen justice. It must have been installed in the 1960s and no one must of used it except to clean since then as it was perfect. (keep in the mind, the mess is due to the estate sale) Not a stain anywhere, and the stove and oven still worked! The women who lived there, based on the photos and certificates that were being sold, was a photographer in WW2. In short, the person who once lived at this Lakeshore condo was epic. Happy trails to the wonderful person I wish I knew. 

Of course I bought things - a box of thread where every piece of thread was saved (!), needles in an old chewing tobacco tin, stir sticks, measuring pieces, tape (cause why not) a very pretty blue necklace, and a piece of wood with a mushroom painted in it. Jolly good time! I wish every work day could start off with an estate sale.

 

This sale was hosted by The Ageless Treasure - real nice folks who told me everything they knew about the place. Keep up with them at theagelesstreasure.com. They seem to have sales in Chicago and Indiana all the time.

And if you like estate sales in general - get on the mailing list at estatesales.net. 

(I'm not sponsored by anyone, I just like spreading good deals around). 

Happy Saturday.
