After I turned in my visa paperwork I returned home completely famished. I had left without much breakfast and waited until after lunch for my turn to submit my application. So when I got home I immediately started eating. All of a sudden my aunt says she's going to an estate sale and I can come with if I left right then. So, at her suggestion, I put my plate with pasta in the refrigerator, without a cover, a rushed out of the townhouse.
For those who don't know me, I can't wait to own my own place. I have been dreaming of buying, renovating, and decorating it for years. I've been told estate sales can have great finds for homes. Add to that I love shopping and there was no way I was missing my first estate sale.
We walked over there with a couple neighbors and it was a nice house. We couldn't see the entire home but it was probably a two, possibly three bedroom home with at least three bathrooms and a basement. Plus this awesome deck off the kitchen and a little yard below. The sale was actually held inside the house unlike garage sales which was cool. When you walked in there was this huge fireplace and an entire wall of bookshelves- there was actually a rolling ladder attached to help reach the higher shelves. I left with a movie for my mom, a book for me as well as a pair of earrings. When my aunt and I got back I decided to go back and look at the kitchen stuff.
I'll probably not have my own place for a while but someday I will. I had an apartment at one point so I already have some kitchen supplies just sitting in a box. Why not add a little more? It's not like I'll never have a kitchen. So I went back and returned with two wine bottles with tops connected and a clear milk jug. Both are made of glass and I have a couple ideas for their future uses. I bought all three for $11 so I feel like I didn't do too bad but I didn't bargain which I really regret. I seriously need to get over my fear of bargaining before going to China because there it's almost all bargaining.
