Fantastic Estate Sale Finds

I haven't been Estate Sale-ing 
for a few weeks now.  
Three weeks to be exact!  
I missed poking around in the houses 
looking for hidden treasures.  
So, when my BFF wanted to go 
this weekend I said 
"YES"  
I'm still adding to my copper collection 
so I picked up this copper mold 
to hang on the kitchen wall.  
This shell tray was only $4.00.  
It isn't vintage or antique 
but I thought it would be 
a fun summer accessory.  
I picked up a few more ironstone pieces 
for a few dollars apiece.  
I can always use more ironstone, 
right?  
And these linen hand towels 
caught my eye.  
My Initials do NOT include 
a "B"
but my BFF remarked 
that my blog does!  
So that sealed the deal!  
 And if you follow me on Instagram 
you saw this Willow basket 
right when I purchased it. 
 It was hidden in the basement 
where all of the good stuff hides out.  
I put it on the outside sofa 
to show you just how large it is.  
Isn't it just fantastic?  

And the best part 
was that it was Half-Off day!  
Yep, $22.00 
for such lovely rustic goodness!
I really can't wait 
to fill it with all kinds of things!
Think of the endless possibilities...  
Flowers, dishes, pillows, blankets, wood...  
 Here are my BFF's finds for the day.  
An adorable medicine bottle, 
a Federal canister, 
a Black Bouillotte Lamp and a red plaid charger.  
All in all it was a fruitful day.  
Of course, 
the best part was the laughs,
the catching up 
and the Starbucks!  

What are you doing this weekend?  
Until Next Time,

Estate Sale Friday!

I would normally say Happy TGIF 
but in my case it is Happy ESF!  
Happy Estate Sale Friday!  
I love Fridays when I can grab a Starbucks 
and take off first thing in the morning 
for my Estate Sale rounds.  
I could wish for better weather 
but I don't want to push my luck... 
I would rather wish for bargains and great finds!  
And I am happy to report 
that I found some this Friday!  
This is the first house that I went to.  
The sale was advertised on Estatesales.net as 
"Quality in South Leawood".  
The home is for sale 
so I am guessing 
that they are moving to downsize.  
I love Estatesales.net.  
I remember the good old days 
when my BFF and I would grab 
a newspaper and circle the Estate Sales 
and print out the directions.  
Isn't this a great house?  
This is a photo from the MLS listing.  
You can see the whole thing here:
Sorry about the Iphone photos.  
So, I waited in line and walked into 
this gorgeous French Country Home 
that was professionally decorated to the nines!  
Look at those toile curtains 
leading into the great room!  
Another MLS Photo.  
Look at those hardwood floors!  
And I am not the hugest fan of wallpaper 
but I do like traditional when it is done right.
In the great room the tapestry 
over the fireplace hides something 
we all have in our homes.
The Television!  Clever!
I liked the kitchen, 
but it was a tad dark for me.  
I did find a couple of 
goodies in there though...
These little Tole trays were $1.50 each.  
Miss Beaux commented on them 
when she got home from school, 
"You really like those trays don't you?"  
I guess I do have an obsession with them.  
But can you blame me?
 And this little guy is going in my black hutch, 
joining his other bunny friends.  
Isn't he a cutie!
At the next house 
I found this bolster cover from Nell Hill's. 
My BFF and I are going there this weekend.   
The bolster was originally priced at $26.00 
but the Estate Sale price was...
$8.00 but wait!!!  
It was half off day 
because the sale was ending today... 
$4.00!!!
Here are some things that DIDN'T 
go home with me although 
I wish they did.
Lovely French Display Cabinet for $1,500.00
Another small cabinet
with a mirror for $895.00.  
This would be cute in a 
bathroom with glass doors.
I really wanted these white Staffordshire Statues.  
But, my maximum I will pay is $50.00 
and they were $115.00.  
Sigh
That's OK, 
I am happy with my $14.00 worth of 
Estate Sale fun finds!  
I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!
Until Next Time,
Beaux R'eves,

Mountain Cabin Estate Sale Finds

ROAD TRIP!!!  
I am taking my girls 
(my daughter and my adopted daughter *wink*) 
up to our home in Colorado for Spring Break.  
We are driving so we can 
bring the dogs with us, 
so I am loading up my car with my Estate Sale 
finds that I have been collecting.  
These are just a few things 
that I have in my stash....  
I am still on the hunt around the house
for things that I have put away 
for the "Colorado House".  
I saw this Kilim rug ottoman for $20.00 
at an Estate Sale and snatched it up!  
I really need an ottoman for a chair 
we have in the Great Room.  
I love the colors for up in the mountains.
I have had this willow basket for a while...  
That's the way it works you know.... 
I use it here for a while 
and then I transport it up to the cabin 
and it takes on a whole new life.
This original painting was created 
by a dear friend of ours.  
This is the view from our deck 
as she painted it last year.  
What a treasure to keep!  
Another landscape painting 
from an Estate Sale.  
This one is kind of moody with the scary trees.  
I have a collection of landscapes in our hallway.
A tole painted tray 
and some candle holders.  
The candle holders are from Tuesday Morning.  
I am always on the lookout for accessory items 
that have a rustic theme.
And lastly, these adorable napkins from April Cornell.  
I really want to keep them 
at home and play with them 
but I know their true home is in Colorado!  

OK, gotta get packing!  
See you up there!  
I will be blogging from there 
and can't wait to share some of our adventures!

Until Next Time,
Beaux R'eves
