I went to a great estate sale (vlog)

[@debbieomi]

An fyi, in case you'te not aware- the cutter is self-sharpening. Every time you cut, the blade is sharpening against the body's metal piece. I love mine and use it so often.

[@MargareteMiller]

Really?!! I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know 💙

[@jennylawson1980]

My adopted father was a Horologist he repaired and built clocks for over 50 years. He was the last of 7 of them in the world. Anything clock repair or catalog is absolutely priceless in many ways.

[@MargareteMiller]

Wow! What a neat profession❣️I’m sure you have lots of memories growing up around lots of clocks 💜

[@lori88ish]

Wow fabulous finds Love the new paper weight TFS Hugs and Smiles

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks for stopping by, Lori ❣️

[@suelutz5364]

Wonderful treasures, and I know you will make beautiful things with them.

[@lindahowe2293]

Thank you for being sensitive to ancient and special books. 🙂

[@kathybost1879]

OMG I am salivating at this haul. Priceless, I'm vintage too

[@deborahpowell5564]

You had me at “I went to a great estate sale”! Bahaha, kindred souls. We are an odd lot. The recipe book could be generational or others wrote down their favorite recipes to share. I have an old cupcake pan for keeping embellishments nearby. Actually, I have a set of twins, they stack nicely. Thanks for sharing!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks for stopping by❣️ I can’t wait to work on that cookbook 🙂🌷👍🏼

[@grahamfox931]

Morning Margrete, WOW, WOW, WOW, what a magnificent haul. 🤭🙄 I love what you "saved" and totally agree with you about not using the Bible and the 1700 latin book. To me, they are absolutley priceless treasures and deserve the love and care that I know you will give them. As for the other treasures, what a find, the beautiful old cook books, I really am drooling sitting here watching you. 😛😛 Thank you for sharing in this wonderful adventure with us, it has been almost like being there with you. (Wish I could get there to you, but being here in Cape Town, I am a bit worried that my canoe will not reach you) 😂😂 Anyhoooooo, I could go on forever in telling you about how happy your haul has made ME!!!!🤗 I can only imagine your excitement. Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials you also give, the Challenge (which I adore doing) and for everything you show us. Your voice and manner of "teaching" are so gentle and I love listening to you. Well, I am off into my Art room now to see what I can do to my Journal I am making for a friend. Have a happy and Blessed Saturday, hope you find time for doing some crafting and being in YOUR happy place. Sending Blessings and hugs, as usual, from Cape Town. Diana😀🤗🐱🐱🦊🦊

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks for watching, Diana! I'm thinking hard about what to do with that cookbook. It's so special. I want to do it justice. Have fun in your art space! I love it that you are creating 💜

[@JulianaBeasley1967]

Wow! You are so talented! You are going to make some wonderful things with your new acquisitions! I am very curious about the journal bath you are planning. Who is going to bathe the journals once they are ready to be dunked? How many pages do you need to make for the journal? I am thinking about it although, I like making of a kind collages. Yes, another video explaining all would work. Thanks so much Margarete!!

[@MargareteMiller]

Details out soon, though I think we'll need to schedule our meet to talk about everything. There are going to be a lot of questions, I'm sure! 💜

[@cherylmacedo5521]

Oh my GRACIOUS-ness that rotary phone. So many wonderful memories 🤍🤍🤍

[@beverlynewton4282]

The bible illustration book is the BEST!! I would make photocopies of the pictures and use in a collage. The rotary dial what a great display item!

[@MargareteMiller]

I’ll make copies of the Bible pages for sure 👍🏼

[@ILoveMaltese]

Great finds

[@toniscott1029]

What a great haul!!

[@kathylupfernielsen265]

awesome finds...love the old books.

[@MargareteMiller]

They’ll be fun to play with 😉

[@sari2412]

Great finds🤩

[@deborahcooper1729]

What incredible finds! Wow! And a guillotine cutter is awesome!

[@MargareteMiller]

Luckily it’s not that big and fits perfectly in my cabinet.

[@JanetteFuller]

You will love that guillotine paper cutter. I got one from Goodwill several years ago and use it every day. The blade never goes dull.

[@MargareteMiller]

Cool! Good to know 😉❣️👏🏼

[@lindasparks7131]

I’m watching this on the tv but needed to comment. You had an 5:16 unbelievable find at the estate sale. I’ve had some myself but am impressed with yours. The Bible symbol book was amazing. I think that image you couldn’t determine is probably king or leader or something like that. I loved seeing your goodies! I love the collage club!

[@MargareteMiller]

Awww. Thank you!! 😘

[@MyPrettyPaperPassion]

Love the cookbook! What a wonderful find. There is so much you can do with that. I love the history of it and that it was well-loved! I look forward to see what you will do with it. : )

[@MargareteMiller]

I just had another look through it yesterday and am still trying to figure out what to do with it.

[@cherylmacedo5521]

Omg….that paper cutter is sublime. I have 2 “modern” paper cutters that (insert raspberry sound here) 😂 They just don’t make them like they use to….

[@MargareteMiller]

Yep. This one is definitely old school. I have to be careful since there's no guard on it, though.

[@caroltanzi29]

Margarete: that stop for shopping was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. That cook book that you found was fabulous. In fact, everything you bought was carefully selected. You have a good eye. I’m interested in hearing more about your club program. I’ve haven’t joined anything due to time constraints. I still work and have other responsibilities. Since I’m an interior designer, details are especially important to me. Good to see your video. Thank you. Carol from California

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks, Carol❣️I’ll provide more info soon. I totally understand people are busy with other things so I’m working hard to make the projects and components “bite sized”. 👍🏼

[@caroltanzi29]

@@MargareteMiller you have the right idea, bite size. Liking it already. Thank you. Carol

[@cherylmacedo5521]

The books. Oh the books 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@katietatey]

That cookbook is adorable. :)

[@MargareteMiller]

It really is! I can’t wait to see what I can do with it 👍🏼

[@Sheree-aka-SherryLynn]

Omgeez!! That cookbook recipe keeper. I love it! That Bible story is actually an illustrated version of a Bible verse. Proverbs 30:27-28 27 locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks; 28 a spider can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings’ palaces. These verses belong to a group of four verse in Proverbs 30:25-28 about the four things on earth that are small yet extremely wise. Proverbs 30 is the sayings of Agur son of Jakeh, a very interesting Chapter in the Bible. This book would be GREAT to use for Bible study.

[@MargareteMiller]

So cool! Thanks so much for all this info ❤️

[@virginiamartin-authorspeaker]

Great finds!!❤

[@nanmau6234]

Fabulous finds from the estate sale ….my favorites were the cookbook and the antique Latin book. You are so lucky . The red stapler was pretty cool as well. Your “ summer project “ sounds like so much fun, make sure you share some photos. Thanks for sharing. 💕

[@MargareteMiller]

I’ll definitely be sharing photos. 😉❣️👍🏼

[@FindsByPirjo]

My father in law was a Horologist. I have his working desk now as one of my crafting desks. Margarete you scored on that estate sale, the telephone dial and all those recipes just wonderful. Back from London in a week time flying to Finland for two weeks. Have a creative weekend my friend!

[@MargareteMiller]

How wonderful that you have your FIL working desk as crafting desk! What a special piece of furniture. Have fun with all your travels. You are so busy!! 😀

[@DarlaPhillips92]

What great finds.. ❤… love the old phone, stapler and mini paper books ❤

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks for stopping by, Darla 🙂❣️👍🏼

[@lesliec9890]

Great video

[@jeanbeck3962]

Wow, I love old books. You really made a nice haul. The Bible symbols are so cool. Also the postcards. I buy them when I see them. Enjoyed this video.🖌🎨

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much for watching! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 👏🏼

[@LynsAlteredArts]

You found a great sale with good prices. I went to one today too. It was a 1937 house that was just stopped in time like a time capsule. Original kitchen, original bathroom, all the cool built-ins but in rough shape. I took some pictures of some of the wallpaper to use as digitals, I didn’t buy anything. I didn’t find anything good, no ephemera. There were books, but nothing that I needed, lots and lots and lots of doilies though, but I held myself back, the prices were good too. I can always go back tomorrow. I looked up the house to see if it was for sale just for entertainment purposes and it’s not listed but Zillow value is $1,069,800, it needs at least $200,000 in work possibly more if there’s issues with the foundation because some of the floors were kind of slanted and mushy but anyway, I love the Yosemite book that you got. I love Yosemite, I love all the stuff you got.

[@MargareteMiller]

I love old houses. Yes they are a lot of work and need lots of repairs. They can be hard to keep up.

[@juliannaboldt7152]

Amazing finds 🎉

[@MargareteMiller]

It was pure chance 😉❣️👏🏼

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Great haul!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks for watching 💜

[@katmartinez3737]

Everything you found at the estate sale is really cool, but that little red Swingline is sweeeet 😍

[@MargareteMiller]

Right?! I need to find staples for it 👍🏼

[@RachelSimon-yy1kz]

Awesome haul

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks for watching 💜

[@ultraviolet13881]

What absolutely amazing finds! In reference to that Bible book: "Locusts -- they have no king, but they go forth, all of them, by hands; The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces." Proverbs 30:27-28 (KJV).

[@MargareteMiller]

Cool! Thank you❣️

[@judyharmon4586]

What a GREAT treasure you've found!! Sooooo much fun ( and work!) ahead of you!!! ❤🤗🙏 (Love, hugs, prayers)

[@MargareteMiller]

Yes, so many projects, not enough time!! 😂

[@cynthiahogue7724]

What great finds! I can’t wait to see how you repair the cookbook!

[@MargareteMiller]

I have to do some thinking about it. I don’t want to mess it up❣️

[@debbiev.1311]

Awesome finds...my faves would be the cookbook & rotary phone dial too!! ☎️📘

[@MargareteMiller]

I love playing with that thing! 😉

[@cherylmacedo5521]

I can’t wait for your membership video……I’m this close to saying…it’s time !!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@MargareteMiller]

I'll work on recording more info ❤️

[@tonyastone6866]

I love estate sales!! Great found treasures.

[@dakielty]

Your summer project sounds so exciting. I can’t wait!

[@weaver7249]

I am so jealous.

[@jennylawson1980]

Wonderful pieces but I absolutely love the cookbook and the cutter is amazing. I have one like it and they work so great and cut beautifully. The books you found are absolute gems. You got some wonderful things ❤

[@MargareteMiller]

I totally agree! I found some great treasures 👏🏼. Thanks for stopping by 💙

[@OneGuyOnline2]

I like the Seth Thomas book and so looked it up to get one, I hoped. It is worth about 50.00. lol. Enjoy using it!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks! It's packed with great images ❣️

[@joanzabarsky2200]

The THINK notebook should say IBM somewhere. A cute piece of IBM ephemera

[@MargareteMiller]

It said IBM underneath the last page 😉👍🏼❤️

[@patingram8633]

Yes, I have one of those. My dad worked at IBM.

[@pamolds8597]

Love your finds. They’re really cool.

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you! Thanks for stopping by 💜

[@ginapisello3143]

Good thing we don't live in the same neighborhood because I would have bought all the same things you did. Enjoy making wonderful collages from them.

[@MargareteMiller]

There would have been plenty for you. There was lots I left behind. 😉 I’m sure there are good sales in your neck of the woods, too 👍🏼❣️📚

[@pilesofparagraphs]

Very cool finds Margarete. I am so excited about our summer project. Looking forward to the experience.

[@MargareteMiller]

Me too! I'm sharing more soon 🙂❣️👍🏻

[@kayherstedt6618]

Someone gathered recipes from various people, etc. and tried to save them. Lots of sentimental value. The elderly woman might have known if she's in good health.

[@MargareteMiller]

Yes. I think so too. A lot of recipes for sentimental reasons. 💜

[@pamolds8597]

I really loved this whole video. Things you never see in Nee Zealand but awesome

[@MargareteMiller]

So interesting! I’d love to see what I could find in New Zealand 💙

[@lole-21ruff63]

Oh you sound like me today. 😂😂😂 you can’t use your material because is special.

[@MargareteMiller]

It’s a challenge, right?!! 😉❣️👍🏼

[@PatWalden]

❤❤❤

[@donnaseeton1473]

Be so careful with that cutter, without a guard.

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks for the reminder. I will 👍🏼

[@kayherstedt6618]

What size are ink box cards again?

[@MargareteMiller]

They are 3 x 3 inches
