Estate Sale Score!

I can't believe the week is almost gone and I haven't written a thing!  Now I'm making myself do it, and I have a bum middle finger on my left hand.  Tons of mistakes...this will take awhile.  While I was happily peeling and cutting veggies for my dinner, I sliced right into the tip of my finger.  At first I thought it was just the nail, but no...it's a little deeper than that.  So here I am with a band-aid on it and I never realized until today how much I rely on my middle left finger.  I mean, I need it to type the letter "e".  

Since I'm limited to nine fingers tonight, I'll just post some pictures of my pretty amazing estate sale finds today.  I love it when I get to a sale and something I saw pictured is actually there waiting for me, and it's priced to please.  That's how I felt when I saw this brass/glass cart at a sale this morning:

Is that not amazing?  I'm not sure if I'm selling it.  I would love to put a coat of turquoise paint on it and keep it for myself.  

I then found a vintage plastic lamp hanging in a very dusty basement.  Then I saw the other one.  And the other:

I committed myself to spending the rest of the day in the basement because everything was beyond dirty.  To my surprise, they were really easy to clean.  I just sprayed everything with an all-purpose cleaner, then ran them under the faucet.  I was careful to keep the water away from the electrical parts, then just put them all on a rug for a few hours.  Well, maybe it was more than a few.  BUT, what makes any dig, find and clean-up day worthwhile is this:

They all work!  Groovy!

 Add in a soundtrack for the evening:

And yep, you guessed it.  It was an amazing day!  I scored big.
