I always look through the pictures of items available at estate sales in my area, but most of the time I decide I don't really need more 'stuff.' But when I opened an e-mail last night of a sale just 8 minutes from my house, I spotted a stainless steel Farberware Urn. I love these urns for making tea for a group, so I decided to head over to the house this morning.
The sale opened at 10:00 a.m. and I got there just after 9:00. I was #34, which meant I wouldn't be one of the first ones admitted inside the house, but it was dry, sunny and in the high 40's so I didn't mind the wait. It's fun listening to the conversations of people standing around me. Most are dedicated estate sale shoppers [sometimes bordering on hoarders] and go from sale to sale.
Fellow blogger and tea friend, Angela McRae [Tea With Friends blog], recently gave estate sales a creative new name - pop-up antique stores [or in some cases, pop-up flea markets]. I love that!
