This big house in a good Tampa, Florida neighborhood is packed with stuff…and shoppers! We wait for an hour in line, finally getting in just when it was set to close. Is this really worth it?
You bet it is! This 60-year accumulation of quilts, pattern glass, sterling, china novelties, handsome furniture and sewing-related items galore is so full, there’s still plenty left for us to shop, and the nice folks running it keep it open longer! We find a stack of neat old quilt tops (even one with 1933 dated newspaper backing), scurry through a garage where a Ford engine and 1950s Florida water skis await, and run upstairs to find dolls, linens and so much more.
A savvy estate sale shopper scouts ahead for discount day, and we make notes of things we would buy if they were bigger bargains...and do we get some! Our return trip on half-price day delivers a great collection of early child's sewing machines, piles of fun and pristine hankies, Limoges and Royal Copenhagen boxes, a misplaced piece of Viking Epic glass and a bunch of other fun antique and vintage items that make coming back three times as expensive as the first round...with no regrets on our part!
We leave with a vintage picnic basket filled with goodies, knowing our online and antique show collectors are going to have as much fun discovering these things as we did when we found them in this fine old Florida home.
