Went to the lake house, with wifey this weekend, to clean up the pontoon for the grand kids visit....finished up that chore, early this morning, and it was too windy and cold to fish.
So I picked up the local paper, and lo and behold, there was an ad for an estate sale, only half mile up the road from our lake house.
We hurried down there, but missed the first three hours....however, we picked up two like-new bar stools with cane seats for the lake house kitchen bar for $15 bucks each(cost $89 bucks each new in the store)
Also, wifey got a double-dish sterling silver chafing dish set for $5 bucks....she also got 3 Waterford crystal wine glasses for a $1 buck each, and an antique table napkin rack for a $1 buck.
I picked up some misc. tools with storage racks for myself at a $1 buck total.
Had a pretty good time, and think we got some good deals.
This was my first estate sale visit, and I see how Thump got hooked on them!!! ;)
