Chick Pick...

We love watching "American Pickers" and their search for "rusty gold." But when we watch the show we often say "oh, I would have popped for that!" How can Mike and Frank leave that wedding gown, or that dress form! You see, we love all things romantic and feminine and wish everyone else would too! You can imagine how excited we were when we received a phone call from someone cleaning out their mother's estate! "Could you come over and look at our things?", she asked. "There are trunks full of grandmother's clothes and linens!" We made a date and made the trip(what Frank and Mike would call a Chick Pick) to a wonderful old house and met two amazing daughters who were cleaning out an estate. We stayed for hours looking through trunks and closets and found many wonderful items! Sadly, most of the items in the trunks had suffered severe water damage and were beyond rescue, but we still found so many lovely items, including a 1950's short wedding dress with veil, hats, aprons, beaded purses and many delightful items that will be making their way to our eBay auctions shortly. Here is a sneak preview of just a few of the items!
