Pink Saturday Pickin'

I feel like I hit the best estate sale ever!! It was a Pickin sale. My friend Shanon is an expert picker, and she took me along. It was a small house, but the owner was a horder, so she also purchased the duplex next to it to store all of her goodies. As you can see...I got a little of everything.
This cake topper was stored along with a piece of the wedding cake. I threw out the cake, because it smelled just horrible. I think the topper is in pretty good shape for being from 1948.
I found a box of sweet baby items...the shower invitations were filled out for 1952. I loved all the sweet birthday cards.
This box was filled to the brim with easter goodies....lots of old easter egg dye kits.
Vintage Christmas and Halloween cards galore!!

Sweet cake decorating supplies...too sweet to pass up!
Beautiful vintage hats....LOVED them all. Shanon and I shared the hats, we took turns picking our favorites.
I can't forget the box filled to the brim with Vintage Valentines. One box is brand new.

Last but certainly not least, more beautiful PINK hats!!!
This sale was quite interesting. You had to literally climb over piles of fabric (mostly polyester) to get to any areas of the house. Shanon is tiny, so she climbed into closets, and dug for treasures. We spent 4 hours digging through things, and it wasn't enough time. We are heading back tomorrow morning.
I still have lots more goodies to show you.....lots of vintage ribbon, baby planters, valentine candy boxes, and much much more. Until then, have a super wonderful Pink Saturday. Don't forget to stop by our hostess Beverly at How Sweet the Sound, and say hello.

great finds! an estate sale at a hoarder's house could be a disaster, but it looks like your hoarder wasn't of the scary variety. i especially love the hats.
