I just had a money spending blast at an estate sale in Yorba Linda.
I work nights so am not a morning person and usually hit the sales after all the good stuff is gone. I found a tiki mug (unmarked with emerald eyes) some vintage dresses, bar stools, swag lamps, etc.
But the find of the day was a box of vintage Hawaiian dresses, fabric, and two piece outfits. Most home made, sarong style and skimpy, as it turns out the lady was a Hula instructor. In the garage I found a picture of her doing a show wearing one of the dresses I bought. The picture looked to be from the early 60's from the hair style. I also got a bunch of vintage Hawaiian jewelry and an amazing set of dishes marked Japan with mid-century modern stylistic fish, complete with serving pieces (three boxes full of dishes)
The best part was-They're Dealing! not like most over priced, everything is rare, estate sales now-a-days!
Now maybe I'll have the energy to get up at the crack and hit some garage sales tomorrow!
