The Allure of Estate Sales

Estate sales have always intrigued me. Each one of them so much different than the last. Unlike garage sales each one of them tell, in part, the life story of people who owned the items. There is history in the air and an opportunity to be part of it! Have you ever found something at an estate sale that meant the world to you? Have you ever found an absolute treasure among the "miscellaneous items"? I'd love to hear about your favorite estate sale experience.
