I'm so glad your here!
Today, I'm so excited to share a few fun treasure I found yard sales this weekend at a great price. Two boxes for a total of $9.00
First item was a 2003-Christmas series "Budweiser" Mug to add to my collection for $.50
I also saw a pair of vintage Brass Water Nozzles ($.25 each) and a yellow "Nelson Fan Rose" hose sprinkler ($.10) to add to my garden seed box vignette.

deep in a box was a pair of Silver-Plate Vases (made in Italy - $2.50). I hesitated a bit, wondering if I really needed them but, look how great the vases look on top of the high-boy in the guest room, I tend to add more girly treasures in this room.
I just can't seem to leave vintage books behind, especially this set of 3 "Hollister's" story books, how cool!

I also found another awesome Tomato Pin Cushion it was placed in my tiny sewing nook.
In a free box I found this adorable Baby Night Shirt
Last week I was going through a closet and found a box of things I have collected over the year and came across this cute child hanger I had picked-up years ago,
it works well with the newly found night shirt don't you think?
All of these items I paid $5.00 for the box

wooden picture frames (priced at a $1.00 each)
This cute birch candle (priced at $1.00) I will be using in my winter decorating.
and a set of twin bed spreads (priced at $1.00 each) I'm going to use on the grandkids bunkbed.

I remember when ribcord bedspreads were the thing; my college roommate and I each got a turquoise one to match our dorm room. They wear forever! You always find some great treasures. I love the baby dress on the hanger; I've always loved vintage baby hangers and have one or two. I hit a large sale held in the nearby armory, but it was mostly kids stuff. However, Sun. was half price day so I got some bargains. Three pots of multicolored mums (Michaels 9.99) for $1! Will bring one to a friend in rehab; she loves silk flowers! Two New England Patriots mugs for $2! Two shower curtains that I will turn into tablecloths--$2 each. Another tablecloth for $2. Came home with 2 big heavy bags. I have been using up some of my picture frame stash framing Christmas carol and song sheet music and embellishing the frames with some Christmas greenery and a little figurine, Nativity buttons to match the song. Brot a bunch to church for our Nov. bazaar and friends admired them! Sold one early so I have to make another one!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school my sister and I had bunk beds with green ribbed bed spreads. LOL I wonder if they came from Montgomery Wards, we lived in a very small town in Colorado, my mom ordered everything from the catalog. Sound like a great sale you found and great prices on silk flowers. Using shower curtains for table cloths, is a great idea! Your Christmas frame project sound very nice, I'm sure you are very busy getting ready for the bazaar. Have a great rest of your week.
