Ziplock baggy heaven and a Birthday Gifts From Holly

This past weekend I went to a estate sale locally.There were a million signs saying "estate sale 50 percent off". I was on my way to Target and had to get some shopping done so I ignored it and thought on the way home I could stop by. I did my shopping and went home and got Ericson and we went together! We got there and the house was almost empty. Come to find out the estate sale started Friday and Saturday everything was 50 percent off and they weren't going to have it Sunday! So I walked through the rooms a couple times and didn't really find anything that special. I looked inside one of the main closets and there was a ziplock baggy. I saw that there were lots of old letters and I saw an old card so I put it aside. After my hubby found some vintage christmas ornaments and some tools we paid for our items and left. I sat in the card opened the ziplock baggy and almost screamed! haha

Look what was inside!


A lodge certificate (you know like when they use to be in different clubs?). Signed and dated 1892!


Baby shower and baby arrival card! For the same baby! Too SWEET! Love the sweetness of the cards!


Sweet Easter Card!


This old newspaper clipping! This guy is very OLD!


In this special ziplock bag was this very old page from soemthing calle "college Boy". I'm wondering about the age. Probably 30's or 20's!



All these black and white pictures were in the bag also! Super sweet! With great grandmas and swimming suits, playing and taking baths in large buckets! Just sooooo SWEET
Beautiful pictures!!!! I almost feel bad that someone was just going to give it away!


These were in the ziplock baggy also!


more cards...love the colors! Light pinks, blues, peaches!


These letters were in the same ziplock baggy! Most are from 1933 or younger! I think there was one or 2 from 1950! Some wtih 1 cent stamps on them some with 3 cent stamps!

and more cards
and more


I thought I could stand to NOT see vintage Christmas ornaments for a while since it seems like I just put them away!!! Then I saw these lovelies and said I'LL TAKE THEM! I'll most likely sell them on ebay because I already have a lot!

One of the greatest things this week :

Holly is one of the most sweetest little blogger cuties you could meet. If you haven't visited her beautiful blog yet....hop...hop...hop over there to see it! I got a beautiful package in the mail from Holly this week for my Birthday!!!

She spoiled me with this beautiful vintage hankie bunting! I LOVE IT! I'm going to keep it up in my home year around!!! I put it on the mantel for now as I'm messing with it for Easter/Spring!







She made me this sooooooo SWEET cupcake wall hanging! Isn't she just a doll? She used lots of yummy pom poms and just embellished it just right. It hits my sweet tooth perfectly!




She knows that I love peacock feathers also and look what she found!!! AHHHHHH! Couldn't believe it...a vintage peacock table runner! Perfect!


Holly really did a WONDERFUL job on every single detail of the gifts and I will and have really enjoyed my new treats in my home! Thank you Holly for my special birthday surprise!
