I experienced my first estate sale just a bit ago. (On my way home from Joanne's - 3 coupons and a set of square rulers for 50% off!!! - that was a good trip)
I am having mixed feelings about it. And honestly more feelings then I expected. I understand people move/die unexpectly but to see and be part of something like that was very strange for me. It was like they leave, and all their stuff just sits there like they just went to work and will be home anytime. And people are picking through their things, joking about popping floor boards in the attic to look for hidden money . .it just makes me feel very sad. Maybe becuase it was my first time at one - or maybe I am just a little more sensative than most. . .
How have your experiences been? Is it just me?
As a side note - they did have 2 antique (sp?) sewing machines. I don't know enought to say what they were but they were in cabinets - very nice. Also 1 box of fabric - which was my point in stopping, but not very much, no price, and strange fabric I was not famiular with.
