Mark and I had a marathon estate sale binge yesterday and it was super fun. We were going to go to the Omaha Zoo, but instead hit a ritzy garage sale down in the "ridiculously big houses" neighborhood. I scored a stuffed panda, but otherwise it was pretty lame. From there we hit an estate sale in waldo that we totally bagged some awesome stuff at. It was 1/2 price, so we got a 10 dollar turntable, jazz records, some classy table linens, some cool asian tins, a framed chinese watercolor of kittens, a couple of decorative trays, a scarf, and a 70s stuffed owl. from there we happily drove all over chasing sale signs for about 3 hours. suprisingly the nicer neighborhoods had the least interesting stuff. in our opinion anyway.
it was funny how rabid people were at these sales though. I walked into a room and spotted an awesome quilt on a bed and commented on it to mark, some lady practically screeched "I BOUGHT THAT!! IT"S MINE!" lol. then later when we were leaving, i complemented her quilt and jokingly said "i'm so jealous! you totally scored!" so she clutched the quilt tighter and gave me a sour look. wow, okay weirdo.
anyway, we're hooked! we're going to scout out sales for next time in the paper and get up earlier. :)
