Estate Sale Continued

Stoneware Vase

So on Sunday my girlfriend S came by for a walk.  It was sunny and cold, but you didn't quite need a winter coat.  We passed by the estate sale I had gone to with my other friend the day before and were invited in to have another look as everything was half off from the previous day.  I bought a baking tray and a stoneware vase.  S found some jam jars.  I also decided to take an old wheelbarrow for $2.50.  S knew the estate sale ladies, retired kindergarten teachers from her kids' former elementary school.  They have formed a choir and sing at the old people's homes in the area.

Then we went to have coffee and a chat.  S insisted on sharing her  sprout muffin with me, it was pretty good with butter.

The Estate Sale

How is this for some newspaper art, compliments of the sunlight and shadows at my front door one morning. 

I went on a nice walk with a good friend Saturday morning.  The weather was sunny and bright for the most part.  We stopped off at an estate sale down the road.  It made me sad to see someone's treasured possessions being sold off.  Some of the items were so nice.  It is time to declutter as the saleslady said, it will make it easier when the time comes.  My girlfriend did buy a couple of good knives for a dollar.  After dropping the knives back to her car, we went for a nice cup of coffee and a chat.

After our walk, we went to a restaurant for a lovely Japanese bento box lunch.  My friend paid the bill when I went to the washroom, so I didn't have much choice but to thank her for her kindness!
