Milk Glass and Vintage Oil Lamps Weekend Yard Sale Haul

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share this weekend yard sale.

haul.

There was so many great vintage pieces, however nothing was priced, so I was hesitating what to pick up.

This person was a crafter, lots of fabric in vintage suit cases, I know I don't need fabric! so, I left it for someone else, I do regret leaving the suit cases though.

***

I walked around several time being careful to only pick up items that I loved, because I wasn't sure how the items were priced.

I paid $5.00 for the 4 pieces

***

the two nice pieces of milk glass to add to my growing collection.

I also added the light blue enamel cup to the outdoor enamel collection here on the red cocktail cart.

I was super excited to find this beautiful vintage  lavender blown glass oil lamp. It looks great on the vanity

***

 then, the seller asked if I would be interested in a few more oil lamp and of course I said yes!

I've place these three lamps on a book shelf in the Family/Den until I receive the chimney's on order.

These lamps were so dirty two of them had old kerosene oil dried in the bottom, after wiping the glass lamps with a rag dipped in acetone and then in soapy dawn dish soap they came out nice and clean

$2.00 for 5 glass oil lamps.

I believe these two have found a home for now.

July Weekend Thrifting for Vintage Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! I've been spending a lot of time out in the garden, but I did get a chance to hit a few yard sales with my Grandson.

Today, I'm so excited to share what we found!

The 1st stop,

I found 7-Fire King Mugs, in fairly good shape, I paid a $1.00 each. Not a bad price! 

I love the colors and will be stashing the mugs away in the buffet until fall.

***

I'm using the Blue Enamel Tin cup on the cocktail cart.

***

Second stop, had some goodies...

I found a wood Pipe Rest with a copper top, for $5.00. You know where this is going.

Now I'm on the hunt for a couple of cool pipes to display on this amazing stand.

***

Another great find,

 a box of around 20 - Mechanic Illustrated magazines dated in the 1960's for $2.00 each.

Why I only bought two? I have no idea!, look at the ephemera!

***

Next,

I grabbed this cute Fisher Price Radio/Clock, for my small toy collection, it plays "Hickory Dickory Dock" the front is in good shape, however the printed song on back is missing.

***

Lastly, 

I saw two washboards they were real similar one for $10.00 in a little better shape, the one I brought home needed a bit of TLC for $2.00. 

Actually it was coming apart the tin piece wasn't attached on one side, so the Gentleman just gave it me.

When I got home, I glued the tin into the groove and used a clamp to pull the side tight until the glue set.

National Washboard Co.

I can't wait to get started on my laundry area project.
