Estate Sale

When I think of an estate sale, I think of a house where they are selling everything because the owner has either passed away or is moving to a retirement home.  This was the case yesterday...kind of.  I went with Julie and we met Aunt Cindy and Katie at a home in Highland Park to shop at an Estate Sale.  The owner was simply downsizing though and moving to a much smaller 2 bedroom home.  This person must have been the biggest packrat ever though.  We went on the 2nd day of the sale and there was still TONS of stuff.  And this was only things that had been in two sheds in the sprawling backyard.  We all managed to find a few little treasures there.  Julie got some pots to start her own little garden on her balcony, Cindy got some beautiful Christmas ornaments and some chicken feeders for decor around her house.  I found something pretty awesome.  I think it is fair to say that Aaron was actually excited about me spending money this time :)
Although we don't have anywhere for it right now, it is being kept safe at his parents house until we have a house of our own with a backyard of our own to proudly display this.....
Who knew you could actually buy and own a fire hydrant?!
