Estate Sale and Picked of Garbage Pile

So Wednesday I am driving down my street and there is a huge pile of garbage at the curb. I had to stop and look. I picked out this coffee table. Thought it was kinda cool. Mid century  modern stuff is getting hot. So I brought it home. I cleaned it all up and waxed it. Came out pretty good. If you Google you see people asking 400 - 1200 dollars for one. I knew I had good taste !! It's in my living room now. 

This morning I went to an estate sale I bought this old Waterloo tool chest, loading with everything inside of it for 15 bucks.

Add in the one owner little Wheel Horse I picked up Thursday for 75 bucks I think I'm having a good week.

So I went through the box. No hidden treasures in there. Just a toolbox full of tools for 15 bucks, still I think a good buy.

That is a cool looking table.                          

            Take all of those cheap old tool to your neighborhood Habitat For Humanity resale store, some people actually buy them and it helps fund the program.

So I emptied out the tool box. Found a few goodies in it. I took everything out, vacuumed up the drawers, pulled them out and greased them up. Wiped it down pretty good. A girl I work with is starting to make her own jewelry. She's pretty good too. She plans on making and selling earrings, bracelets,  necklaces.  I don't have a use for this box so I'm going to put new felt in it and give it to her to hold all her materials and tools for her jewelry stuff. Can't believe how heavy this thing is empty. I thought about painting it but i think just new felt lining will be good enough.
