our estate sale find of the year (probably)

On Fridays, Ned and I have been nerding out and hitting up the local estate sales. We're mainly looking for records, but of course we sometimes see cool stuff we have to have. I've found a few small art pieces, retro kitchen stuff, mid century knick knacks, that sort of thing.
Well, a cool bar has been on our want list for about three years now - and we finally discovered great one at an estate sale just down the street. It was a total score, complete with all the glassware (that fit in custom-made niches) and in great condition for just $140. We were stoked! Our record room is really turning into a hip, pulled-together space. Haha it's only taken us like 4 years to do it.
Also this weekend we went to Antiques Roadshow! How funny is that? They were filming in San Diego and my parents won the ticket lottery - they would have totally gone, but they had a vacation this wknd, so Ned and I got the tickets!
I have to say we had fun, but it was a lot of waiting - I mean like Disneyland-in-Summer-want-to-go-on-Splash-Mountain kind of waiting. We had to queue to get into the event, then again to get into the main room, then again in the individual item line. But, I did get the see a few of my favorite appraisers, and there was definitely some good people watching, so we had a really fun time.
Have to run and do some housework, then we're making some BBQ!
