My tips to shop an estate sale – revisited

I am heading out to an estate sale this morning. It’s Wave #2 of the estate sale where I scored a gazillion vintage Christmas ornaments and bottlebrush trees. It was EPIC. Above: My kindred spirits in the photo I posted on Instagram. I got there at 5:45 a.m. to sign the list to get in. I was number #12 and made a mad dash for those ornaments. SCORE!

From the first sale. I was delirious.

This is an estate sale of a couple who ran estate sales <<– STOP! Think about that! Wave #2 includes all the stuff taken out of their storage facilities. I’m not sure there will be as much for me at this second sale, based on what I see in the photos online. But hey, it’s all about the hunt. I am getting up early again. Why do I run my own business and work from home if not to get up at 4:30 a.m. to go wait in line at an estate sale when it’s 20 degrees out. Wish me luck!
