Estate Sale Haul~ Fill a Box

Posted on by Rebecca

My daughter and I went to an Estate Sale last weekend. When we walked in, they said to fill a box and we will name a price. Although Estate Sales can be sad to go into homes of loved ones lost, this one they had moved everything into a church building. She seemed like a whimsical person, she had a stage to give puppet shows, how fun that must have been. So today’s video is about what I filled my box with, I always look for journaling, decorating, and happy mail items and found a few.
