Watch "Estate Sale Finds 2/17/23" on YouTube
My estate sale finds for today. I always love when I find a sale for someone who was a crafter because I know I am going to find some really unique pieces. This lady worked with ceramics and I think she made the bowl, the plate, and the little ceramic bird. She also had a great collection of stones and crystals.

Oil, Vinegar, Salt and Pepper set.
I love the little crying face on the pepper. Oil is just side eyeing the little dude.

I didn't take nearly enough photos but I went to this estate sale yesterday and the lady who had passed (or gone to a nursing home idk) had literally moved in in 1961 and didn't change a thing since.
Like here are some photos of an old crib + high chair set I took (because let's be real the fabric patterns and art is BEAUTIFUL)
All of it was in mint condition, and the children's room still had baby clothes and toys from the 60s in it.
It was INSANE.
There was also a craft room so you KNOW I picked up some yarn (nothing exciting just some baby blanket acrylics) and a glittery bluejay applique for myself.
My mom is an art teacher so we also picked up bout 5 aprons. However, one of them turned out to be a tunic shirt thing and another was secretly an early 60's couture dress (which just so happens to be made to my exact measurments)
On top of that, we found this amazing fan, which i picked up for myself, and a Puss in Boots lamp!
My mom really loved him and found him super nostalgic but unfortunately my dad didn't. So now he has a home in my room (which is vintage fantasy themed so he fits perfectly!).
We also found some plates, wash cloths, fabric, doilies (for the ceramics class) and some shirts for my dad too, and walked out spending an even 100$ (jeez!) But it was so worth it. It was like a dream estate sale. 10/10 would do it all again.

"Marzi, what actually IS Enchanted Doll, though?"
for me, it's this little fake person who lives in my house:
this is Maryse. everybody say "hi, Maryse!" she was made some time in the early-mid 2010s as part of a limited blank, nude resin BJD line sculpted by artist Marina Bychkova (her face was most recently painted by the incredible Cat, "maybeawerewolf" on IG)
but Maryse has. much more famous porcelain sisters. and they look like this:
any gems or precious metals you see up there are real. for reference. this woman is not just a doll artist, but a seamstress and jeweler Par Excellence in the bargain
costumed porcelain Enchanted Dolls are the shining stars of the art doll world: dazzling and unreachable for all but a lucky (and usually deep-pocketed) few. the blank resin ones are rare enough to find secondhand- they're not being made anymore -but the porcelain are like..."if I marry a multimillionaire, may she propose to me with a porcelain Enchanted Doll holding a ring from a crackerjack box" status
the eye candy is real

The washed-out card indicates that this toy is “handcrafted from Persian lamb’s wool and velvet, 1958.”
I wanted very badly to take this sweet plush poodle home, despite its price tag of $30 (and that was with the final-day discount), but I have neither the space nor the proper skill to to keep her in nice shape, and oh I am going to be sorry about that for a while. I’m not sure if the photo does her justice, or if she’s only beautiful to me, but I think she would look so good on an old chair in a Victorian house, perhaps a Summit Avenue mansion. So I’m going to imagine that somehow, some way, a person who lives in one of those made their way out to this rinkydink split-level in the suburbs and swept her away after all.

Never submitted to you guys before so hope I do it right!
Not thrift store finds, but an estate sale was happening in our area. House was VERY 70's grandma couture.
We found an alligator purse (it's legs were on the back) and this little bird sculpture made of rice and sunflower seeds.
Not pictured: a brass urn that still had leftovers of someone's ashes in it.
