To Charleston I Go!! ~

Charleston, SC Estate Sale

I am visiting my sister and her family in Summerville (suburb of Charleston) and went to an estate sale today.  The sale was in the oldest part of Charleston near Battery Park and Rainbow Row.  This was a typical shotgun style house with the porch on the side to catch the breeze (when there is one.)
It was a beautiful house and can be yours for $1.3 MILLION dollars. I'll take 2 please, do you wrap?

I was the 3rd one in line and had butterflies in my stomach. I was nervous because there were things that I wanted to grab before anyone else got to them. It's always hard to go into a house without knowing the floorplan.  Even though you see the pictures beforehand, you never quite know what to expect. Well, I found WAY too much and spent WAY too much money, but I got some great junk and have to go back tomorrow to pick up my big purchase.

This is actually the side of the house.
The door faces the street and when you come in, you enter into a courtyard.

The side porch

This is my big purchase. I had to have it!  It was so cute and in good shape and I love it! 
I just wish I could keep it.  The table is metal with the heaviest piece of beveled glass.

I think I spent 2 hours there and had a pile of junk by the time I checked out.
I then met my sister at her work before heading to dinner at this joint:

BIG BILLY'S BURGER JOINT!
Highly recommend this if you find yourself in Charleston by the Tanger Outlets.

This is the Southwest BlackBean Burger. YUM!
It came with a mini fry basket of sweet potato fries.

This was the burger sliders kids meal.

Me: Aaron, what kind of plane is that?
Nephew Aaron: it's a C-17 cargo plane
Aaron: you can tell because it's Chubby!
Me: Very Cool
Me: amazed at what my sisters kids know

C-17's are a common sight flying overhead in Charleston.

Flea market in the morning! WooHoo!
