Mothers Day Picks

Shopping Estate Sales in Houston on Mother's Day

'First off... Happy Mothers Day!  While the holiday may have been wonderful for you mother's out there,  for Estate Sales the pickings were pretty slim... there were only 3 professional estate sales and 1 self-prepared.  Normally I am first in line at the self-prepared estate sales but this particular sale was sadly overpriced and the owner was not willing to negotiate. However, I did purchase a few items over the weekend and I have a favorite pick!! For those of you who know me, it will be of no surprise that it was a vintage (1950's) piece...  and I know exactly where I am going to put it in my house.
Helllllo Lovely!

I absolutely love love love this 1950's bookcase from Amsterdam!  I didn't even overpay for it!  I haggled, begged, cried... and finally got her down to $100.00.  Knowing that I blog, this Houston Estate Sale company asked me not to mention them by name...  but I will tell you she was really sweet (hope that doesn't give it away too much).  But in all honesty, the prices were fair (for once) and while the general setup was a bit unorganized (you all know how I do not like it when the drawers aren't emptied out and there are not price tags on items), I did enjoy my time.

I am looking forward to next week!!!  I have my eye on this 1930's blue chair at an estate sale in Memorial... we will see if she comes down from her price that is 3 X's more than I can afford to spend.
