The Randomness of Estate Sales...

-----Estate Sale Ramblings-----

Vaguely familiar things are going on...memories in picture frames, notes left behind, collectibles that are dust-covered and unnoticed, an array of books, notepads, and knowledge that we will never use or absorb in our lifetimes, but it's there and onto the next thing...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The musty smell of a home or garage is always very familiar...old shoes, sweaters, jewelry...something someone did not want, and for what reason?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Music boxes that may chime once and do not really play...the music is gone...love was found, but then lost somewhere...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone passed...you respect them and the things they left behind, as now, it's only to give you a good deal or some spring to your step...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe these things are all vaguely familiar to us, and that's why we like these estate sales, as they are like Home and Life...

Practical Items that Help with Your Budget!

Do you like it when people sell toiletries and other practical items at their garage sales and flea market stands? Think of why you like it...What works?

How might these items help with your budget?

What makes them appealing?

Grabbing an extra pad of paper, some pencils, or new keychains can be just what you need, and it may have been something on your buy list that you can now check off! It might also be an extra little treat that you wouldn't think to buy yourself.

Getting a good deal on some makeup, paper towels, lip balms or candles (for when the lights go out) will be totally helpful and it saves you an extra trip to the store!

Please share! 🤗 🠆

Tangled Jewelry Anyone?

Did you ever wonder why people love to look through and untangle a pile of jewelry? Does it appeal to you?

Maybe it's the satisfying feeling of getting something to work or undoing something wrong, and making it right. Or maybe it is a challenge to see what piece of jewelry might untangle first right out of the big pile and what others might take a little extra work. You then get to discover those "worth the effort" types of pieces.

I noticed this seems to be a trend with jewelry, especially jewelry jars. It is somewhat of a puzzle to do this, and some people really like the entire experience of struggling with pieces. I've heard that tangled necklaces can be better managed by unclasping them first and then trying to untangle them from there; it is a trick that does work.

Does untangling jewelry do anything for you? What do you like most about it? Does untangling jewelry turn you off? Would you rather have pieces that come out clean and neat like the day they were made?

Everyone is so different; however, there is so much psychology behind such a simple, frustrating task!

Enjoy the satisfaction from the pieces that you've untangled and made free again!
