First To The Sale... Was It Worth It??

My daughter had her driver's test in the spring. She practiced so much on her parallel parking. She wiped right into the spot at her test so perfectly and fast. The lady was in complete amazement. Shed never had anyone be able to so easily and perfect. Which saved her because when she had to back into the space it didn't go so well. She forgot about the backup camera and just tried using the mirrors 🤷.

Jesus watches over you1 ❤

[@NanaColeen]

🤩I think it was worth it. All of the wild and fun items! Looking around at that random things, the mystery of what is in the next box is fun. I love watching your videos👵❤🐦

[@fareast_de]

Nice estate sale in a pretty neat old property not that far from the Delaware River. I think that 180 k is a fair price though the house needs a lot of restoration work. Was it worth waiting nearly two and a half hours ? Definitely yes, because you got the time to read a great book, you created some more content and got a couple of interesting items. 👍My favorite was the old oil lamp with the sheep on it, bummer that the glass tube was missing. By the way, Renée: another package from Europe to Bloomsbury went on it´s way today, hope the content will meet your demands. 😉Quite hot today over here (nearly 90 degrees F, but we are expecting more rain tomorrow). 🌦Have a wonderful and relaxing New Jersey weekend ! Greets from GER, U.

[@PaperandMoose]

I agree - being able to sit outside, in the quiet except for the sound of birds, and enjoy a good book was worth it! I didn’t get to see the bathroom at this place, so wonder how much work that would need… perhaps it had a claw foot tub, my favorite! It would be a perfect little getaway cottage or just a great little home, in general. Attic & basement offer plenty of storage & possible work space and the yard is like a little oasis! I’ll be on the lookout for your package!l! What could it be, what could it be?? No hints!

[@fareast_de]

@@PaperandMoose I´ll give you one hint. It´s old and (comparitively) new paper ! 😁

Wowzers Renee!! That was some estate sale!! Wish I could've tagged along with you!! I'm glad you found some goodies!!AND the weather was nice!!🤗 Have a great weekend!! I'll see you when I see you! ❤️

I'm with you on the parallel parking. I think I've done it successfully twice in my life! 🌞

[@tammyreeves168]

Would love to have been able to plunder through that house and property. So many neat items. Loved the oval convex pictures. Stay safe and God Bless. Oh yes. I love the front porch on the house.

[@maggie5736]

Decorating in the Country style was really popular in the 1980s. Antiques, handmade things, all kinds of aged things and lots of it. Restoring vintage homes.

Someone's life spread out everywhere to be dispersed to hundreds of strangers. Glad you were able to find some treasures, Renee!

That house was packed with amazing stuff. Love that you got the oil lamp base. Very pretty item. Thanks for taking us along. 180K for that house is crazy cheap. In MA that would be at least 500K.

[@patriciasheehan5089]

I'm with you on parallel parking!! My son is great at it and I taught him to drive but I hate parallel parking! 😊 Love the old buttons!!

[@jinisteffani8035]

I know exactly what you mean... a while back I went to estate sale in a house in our historic neighborhood. I was a little more excited that I could finally see what one of the old two-story wood house looked like inside than the sale...I was surprised by the fact it was smaller than I thought it would be, and the staircases were very narrow, but I did buy some things....

[@catherinethompson2525]

I would have loved to been the!!

[@redrobin7136]

Yep Renee I love homes like those that have a ton of 'stuff'...*and the older the better haha*...love your new treasures! Today was the 2nd (of 4) day of our annual 100 mile Coastal (Lk. Huron) yard sale called the Trail Sale. I wait for it every year! Hope you enjoy the summer's evening!!

[@SalvagedSoul1111]

They sold a lot with the estate sale company. I went when the home owners continued the sale on Sunday. I did still get a lot of nice finds. The home owners are moving to AZ. You found a lot of great items!!!

[@SissyKay]

I saw plenty I would have bought. I love that little house!

[@ketipap686]

Very nice haul, exactly the kind I'd have. The green neckless is gorgeous! So are the pictures you got and the lamp...! I also loved that house and the backyard, beautiful scenery! Some of the items in the yard were beautiful too. Nice video

[@queenielarue4787]

Oh if only I were there… I’d of grabbed that pink jewelry box in a hot minute!!!

[@OriginalNethead]

03:40 I honestly hope that was just a spelter bird. Looks like the good stuff was all in the attic on this one. THe parallel parking thing isn't my bag either. Local stone curbs have eaten multiple tires so I try not to mess with it, but I always get there early too (mobility issues so I have to mark close) and sometimes watch the parking shenanigans.

[@jcbroomfield1205]

Love you new glasses. I also enjoy watching you show us the items at the end. I have another box of mainly paper items to send you. Wondering if you ever got my last package, from Colorado? Its been a few months. Enjoy the videos!

[@hummerfan9360]

Buzz, that is so funny.

[@johngodbout7341]

Getting to pet their dogs, is a total bonus! Lol. Reminds of a joke: I show up at work and say that I'm sorry that I'm late. The boss says: you start at 9 and it's already 11! Yeah, I say, but it was a puppy! Lol

[@simsjef]

Hey Ms Moose, I heard a rumor that Jesus might be found in other places than a birdhouse - just saying. You need to talk to Tacco Stacks because at the flea market sale recently where we see the Totes Man, he walked right past a picture of Jesus without stopping - so he needs a talking to and some hep ( a lot like help but more intense). So love your adventures and even if you and Tacco are at the same sale its like one video is from Mars and the other is from Venus with your different perspectives. Your videos are so entertaining and make the day go better.

[@laurahopwood3332]

I loved all of it. Shabby junk is my jam!

[@stephenritz5581]

Hi - nice finds. Can you salvage the frame around the woman-in-the-hat photo? Maybe a little stain or Formby's? I'll bet you that the love and relationship book, or whatever it is, is going to be a scream. Like, "The Road to Wellville." I think that lamp is the bottom half to a Hurricane Lamp - also called a "Gone-with-the-Wind" lamp.Could have started life as an oil lamp or electric. If electric, there would have been three switch positions - top shade lit - lower part lit - both lit. You probably know this already. It would be easy to wire one bulb back in it - not sure how to do the 3X switch. Probably had a 10" fitter (rail) that was mounted on the burner or socket to hold the upper shade. You can still buy those (fitters). Finding a matching upper shade would be a miracle, but you can buy new colored glass shades that would go with it. I know all this because I bought something like that a few years ago and now have a Frankenlamp on my office desk. Hope you do well with what you've bought. Have a great Friday & weekend! Say a prayer for Maui and anywhere else that's burning ... or flooding ...or just too darn hot.

[@PaperandMoose]

Another viewer also mentioned how finding the matching top to the lamp would be near impossible. I can just imagine the next time I go to the flea market & have it out on the table, someone will say “Oh my gosh! This matches the top to that lamp I have stored away in the attic!” At least I think that would be great if that happens, you just never know! Me re-wire something electrical? That’s a no 😆 I’ll save that for the professionals & take out the risk of me hurting myself haha. Hope you have a great weekend! Maybe a few estate sales?

[@stephenritz5581]

@@PaperandMoose Yes - I will probably hit one or two just to get out of the house - even though they don't look promising. But who knows - perhaps a grail awaits ...

[@ginger_grizzly]

Absolutely loving the blue and white kitchen corner cabinet, the one being used as an al fresco library, I wonder how much they were asking for it? Never seen a corner one like that before, very unusual! Over in the UK you could probably get £300+ for one, even in an ‘as found’ condition like that...

[@sheilacirioni4676]

That looked like a big sale..Those buttons were cool,as well as beads.The picture was cool as well (round one)

[@maryaddington9835]

Fabulous sale. Very overwhelming in my opinion. Loved so much. Glad you found some treasure. Surprising lack of holiday stuff which is odd for a crafter’s house. Great furniture. 💯🦬

[@aprilfool8329]

I have done the same thing, getting to a sale very early, when I knew there was limited parking. I can't imagine how the owners were able to function in that house if all of that stuff that was outside was inside the house before the sale. That being said, I love those kind of sales! It didn't look like there was too much holiday stuff which would have been disappointing to me and probably was to you also. But I am glad that you were able to find some nice things after waiting so long. Thanks for sharing!

Great, that you got the lamp...you can get the wick holder and chimney on line. $180,000??? My, you can't even buy an outhouse here for that amount!!

Hello Renee. It’s great to be early. Gives you time to relax before the hunt. Plus the parking would have been brutal. I’m not the best at parallel parking. It’s a good thing I didn’t have to do it for the test. Lots of cool stuff at the sale today though. I love the perfume bottle very pretty. The picture of the lady is amazing that’s my favorite piece.

So wise of you to arrive really early.

[@johngodbout7341]

Yeah, the problem is that you go right, and the best deals are left, so being number 1 isn't a guarantee of a good deal! One of the thing's about having a sale, is that you have to be prepared that people will be going through your drawers! Lol

[@marypalmer5943]

i just read the book, i live 3 hrs from Spokane in rural idaho, so some local history for me as well!

[@mammahasspoken]

Funny but true, I don't parallel park either. My car has the feature that it will parallel park for you but in the 4 years that I've own it, I have never used that feature! I just don't like giving up the ability to control my own car and give it to a computer to do it for me.

[@DonVDBorgh]

The last time I parallel parked was about 39 years ago when I did my driver's test 😁. I would have went early as well, less stressful when there and parked, rather than worried about it. Some good finds 👍👍

[@PaperandMoose]

Parallel parking is useful knowledge, but I can’t remember the last time I had to parallel park… I do more “K turns” than parallel parking! Hope you have a great weekend, Don’

Wow, what a house! Where do you start? Being #1 and entering that house filled to the brim, you can't possibly get the goods. There's too much to maneuver through, plus the people traffic. I've been at sales like this and it is a challenge. Though I understand being early for the parking spot. As far as this house, there is no way they will sell all that.

Was all that stuff in that house!? Looked like you got some good stuff. I think the lamp is the bottom for a “ gone with the wind lamp” would have had a round glass shade …No doubt with sheep on it to match the base…these lamps are desirable but will be impossible to find the shade

[@PaperandMoose]

To my flea market that will go to see if I can flip it for a few more dollars. Just need someone that has the matching top, as you said… that would be funny if someone would say “Oh my gosh, I finally found the bottom to my sheep lamp!”
