Estate Sale Haul. Or, what I did instead of arguing with the junk journal I'm trying to finish.

Took a little break to hit a local estate sale today and wow, was it hard to not load armloads into the car! But I mean, there's only so much storage space here at the studio! I'm very happy with my curated selections and share them with you here.

I love the metal chest! And what a find with the film strips inside!

Hey Robyn, I still am hoping to contact you about your creations. Is that possible?

I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate the filmstrips in a project - some of the titles and artwork is just hilarious...

How fun! Everything is awesome. You showed much restraint, I’m not sure I could have. 😂 Those needlework magazines alone are just amazing. And those drawers are going to be wonderful storage for 12 x 12 papers. I’d say that you hit jackpot! And that cute little squirrel is the topper! 😂 hugs 🤗❤️🐿️

Seriously. You don't know how much more was in the original pile. But I sorted it down twice, largely because I had JUST cleaned out the studio so the lack of storage space was super fresh in my head. It was a challenge. And yes! The stapler is just awesome.

How fun! Too many treasures to sort through. I would have been there all day! I know what you mean about just not having room to store everything!

It's probably how nature keeps us from owning everything we see, Or, turns us into hoarders. I think maybe paper crafters have that in their DNA.

Christine, boy did you do well with your vintage finds. I hope you will share the metal drawer paper holder once you give it a much needed face lift/new life. Hugs and stay well.

I'm still unsure about how to re-finish that little gem. Right after I bought it a gentleman who had left the sale came back looking for it and offered me $25 for it. (I paid $4) I'm glad I kept it.

$14.00 for the whole lot!!! Wow did you hit the jackpot. I can’t wait to see what you do with everything. ❤

omg I love those finds! I can't wait for you to peruse and scan some of those goodies! Awesome stuff! All right up my alley. I know what you are saying about full-to-the-brim of studio stuff. I was trying to reorganize my paper journaling stash yesterday and filled my 8-foot dining table high with mostly paper etc. etc. etc. My motto for the rest of the house is "One in/One Out" but the paper supplies have gone berserk! I find I can't even work on journaling at this point because it's all too jumbled. So, little by little, I am trying to regroup and organize and finally use some of this huge backlog. Of course, it doesn't help that I just love making ephemera and not the journals to put it in! lol Anyway, great haul and thank you for what you just sent, that I love a lot! :)

Yeah, we've got to get you over to the book side more often. Thought even that won't use up nearly enough paper to dent most stashes...

I live in the land of mold and mildew...GA. Now I have my brother look for the stuff in PA but he would NOT be happy if I cut up books which I do!! You got quite a nice haul. Look forward to seeing some in your shop.

Oh, that is unfortunate Lisa. But great to have your brother help. We won't let on about what you do with what he delivers...secret's safe here.
