Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share what I found going to a few yard sale this weekend. I found some very nice vintage treasures for my home décor!

***

First treasure,

I picked up was this vintage Atlas canning jar with wooden thread spools for $1.00 Yea!

***

Then,

I first notice this very cool oval hat box it was not priced, I walked around looking at other items, not sure what price I wanted to offer, so I just ask what was the price for the hat box? The lady said $2.00 and there are some old calendar in the box.  WHAT? I could believe it! Not sure if its vintage or not but, so cool! 

It is stamped Gelot - Paris -  12 Place Vendo'me         

and inside the lid is a photo of 12 Place Vendo'me in Paris

 

 the Cunard Line Stateroom Baggage sticker is what caught my eye

Plus in side the box were two vintage calendars and a a Conoco expense book

A 1936-1937 Conoco expense record booklet

vintage calendar 1955

another calendar - 1911

Lastly,

these great Sun plaques, I'll be hanging them out in the garden.
