Hubby and I love to go to estate sales when we get the opportunity. You never know what treasures can be found.
I have found vintage fabric, garden tools, pyrex bowls, which I happen to collect and Mexican pottery, (I also collect these). Hubby usually looks for tools that he can use.
There is a feeling of sadness for me when we go to estate sales; I always think about the person or persons that owned the items on sale. I do make it a point to promise myself that I will try and take care of any item I buy.♥
Not long ago I found a scarf, which looked brand new, for $1.oo. I quickly grabbed it knowing that I could use it some way or another.
Well, as you can see, I turned it into a poncho-like top to be worn over a camisole or nice tee top.
To start the process, I folded the scarf in half and then cut a hole at the top for my head to go through.
I then hand stitched a narrow hem around the opening for a finished look.
For the $1.oo that I paid, I’m thinking that I made a pretty good deal.♥♥♥♥

You’re so talented! Doesn’t it feel great to find a good deal? My youngest daughter loves shopping at the Goodwill and other thrift stores. She’s very petite and finds so many nice clothes there–usually designer clothing.
You should do a blog post showing off your Mexican pottery collection–I’d love to see it.

Thank you. I love good deals and yes I do want to do a blog post on my pottery. My oldest daughter loves Goodwill and will take my grandsons with her, and they love to see what treasures they can find.

It’s the best! There are often pieces of clothing with the store tags still on them that have never been worn.
I can’t wait to see your pottery post. I love beautiful pottery and dishes. My mother collected depression glass and I inherited her gorgeous collection. (Maybe I’ll have to do a post about it soon! 🙂 )

I love estate sales too! You did a great job on that top, way to upcycle a scarf… lol… I love when something comes together so neatly. 🙂

I wish we had garage sales in UK! It’s such a win win deal for both buyer and seller. I was so unlucky to smash one of our favourite pyrex bowls about a month ago and it is so hard to find them to buy in the shops. The bowl was so well designed.
I love your talent for creating a shape out of a flat piece of material. How amazing to have your own designer clothes, and wear true originals! Stunning!
