Nebula's thread about yard sales made me think about estate sales and such. Does anybody go?
My sister and I are going to start visiting some around here this summer. She's looking for an old table to put outside by her pool, preferable a cast-iron type table that she can use for planters.
I'm looking for three old wooden screen doors (screen condition doesn't matter) to use as a background in the moon garden at the side of the house. I've been looking now for a couple of years, but not seriously. I'd also like to find an old water pump and I know how difficult that's going to be. There are some other outdoor things that I'm looking for, but again, not really seriously at this point. Unusual planters for around the pool, something for the flowerbeds, things like that. Sometimes you can get some good deals at auctions.
I'm also starting to look at old dishes and the like. Nothing exotic or really fancy. If I see something I like, I might buy it.
Rick is going to look for some old garden tools....the old tools seem to last longer than the stuff you buy at Lowes (nothing against Lowes at all....that's not what I mean).
Do you go? Would you go?
