Someday I will take my camera and flashlight and search for estate sale treasure in another part of the country. So far, I have only been able to explore Florida and only because I was there on vacation. I wrote and blogged about it a while back. Given that one example I am confident that I could find something old, unique and worth writing about in any state.
Last weekend I had almost no help from the sale descriptions I’d found online and in the newspaper. None I researched seemed like a “dig.” Fortunately, Patch editor Jaimie Cura pointed out a listing I hadn’t seen. A sale in Easton, CT had a description that included model trains, older books, and mandolin among other things. I decided that this would be my sole destination for the weekend.

With my daughter by my side we arrived to a home packed with interesting items and run by a familiar service – WCD Estate Sales – the owner, Jim, greeted and remembered my daughter and I from a previous sale. Jim gave me some insight as to the nature of the sale and we began to look.
I am shooting more video these days and while I would like to record all my discoveries as they happen, this home had a more personal story attached to it. I decided to shot only stills and with permission I shot an open and close from the street in front of the house.
