I know what you are thinking...and the
Cranky Queen has a
"royal excuse" for being quite tardy in the upkeep of her blog.
The Queen has started hostessing
Estate Sales! I have been involved with 3 sales so far, and gosh, it is hard work...but I am lovin' it! Just participating on a
small scale by "word or mouth" in my home town, but I have learned so much and met some really fun and "interesting" people...to say the least!
As the
Queen, I had to distinguish myself from all the other
Estate Sale People...so I decided to wear cute aprons to all of the sales that I hosted...now I am known as the
"cute apron girl"! Too fun...See my little helper, Addison, at my very 1st Estate Sale.
Check out "all the goods" at this sale.... Carnival Glass, Milk Glass, Made In Japan...
Older Tupperware...Go figure, it flew off the tables!
See the above pic for a "blast from the past"...heading to someones hunting camp!
The Cranky Queen carried this green jewel home...got some great ideas on how to transform it into a "Happy Chair"
The "Brady Bunch" Bedroom Suite sold right away!

Addie and Mrs. Pam saved the day with their help...FREE too!
My favorite Estate Sale Friend...she was so funny & bought LOTS!
The next Estate Sale was "bitter sweet" for the Cranky Queen, because she knew the gentleman that had recently made his way Home. Heaven gained a wonderful Southern Gent & I know many were there to greet him at the Golden Gates!
This was a much smaller sale, but I pretty much sold everything in 2 days!
