With garage and estate sale season upon us, it is a good idea to make a list of things that you might be interested in purchasing for upcoming crafts or projects at home. Having a list prepared can save you time and money when you go to a sale and you know exactly what you are looking for. I love vintage things, and estate sales are a great place to look for these wonderful treasures, but I like to have a plan for these items or else they will be just sitting around my house. I picked up these pretty cups at an estate sale last year and didn’t really have a plan for them:( They had been sitting on a shelf in my garage and I noticed them again last week when I was planting flowers. It was like a light bulb went off in my head! These would make the prettiest little planters for a gift or even a favor for a baby or a bridal shower. They were inexpensive and you can decorate them easily and plant what ever you like in them to fit your theme. These cups were all the same, but I think small flowers would be beautiful in different vintage tea cups! So onto my list for estate sales this year are vintage tea cups. I think flowers planted in small vintage tea cups would add character to my kitchen window sill. These pretty cups were given to the amazing mother’s who attended my Mother’s Day Brunch. It added color to the table setting and was a nice simple gift for them to take home. What are you looking for at estate sales this year?

Simple but swee5. Bet you could find some really nice mugs at yard sales or second hand stores to use for this. Love it!
Those are the best places to look! Thanks Gretchen! Have a great week:)
These are so cute. I love the idea to house my kitchen garden herbs and gift ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Rhonda! 🙂 Have a wonderful week!
Very cute! great for a brunch table decoration, too.

Thank you Audra! That’s what I was thinking- a gift that can be set at the each place setting to make the table pretty too! 🙂
These are lovely. I was thinking of doing something similar with a couple of little teapots I have, thought they would be good for herbs. These would make great gifts.

Hi Kate! Thank you! Oh, teapots would be so pretty! What a great idea. Now I am going to be on the lookout for some pretty ones at household and estate sales! I love the herb idea too:)
Great idea and so pretty!
