My most enjoyable Friday morning routine includes breakfast at my fave coffee shop, Moxi Junction in Maize, Kansas, followed by checking out local estate sales. Sometimes I'm looking for a particular item, but usually I'm just exploring. Having reached the age where I don't want to accumulate more "stuff," I generally stay on the lookout for small treasures. I've found such treats as a switch plate that is a baseball, pots that I have painted (and are now in my woman cave window garden), and an air fryer that my husband awarded a spot on our kitchen counter, no small honor.
I am an old-fashioned user of hankies. I spent many early years ironing hankies for my mom and dad. Tissues were considered wasteful (and a Communist plot) during my upbringing. My lifelong allergies have made it necessary for me to always have a hankie on hand. Estate sales are where I find them, and yesterday I hit the jackpot with a bag of 11 hankies in perfect shape for $6. As I was unfolding them to toss into the laundry, I noticed some patterns that could be fun to try and paint, possibly even with watercolors. Bonus!
Estate sales--another way to see what treasures are in store for me today!
