Fire-King-Milk Glass! Weekend Yard Sales

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

As you know I have been collecting Milk-Glass, today, I'm so excited to share what I brought home from two yard sales I stopped by, this weekend.

***

As you know I have been collecting Milk-Glass for a couple of years, well.......

First,

 was this very cute covered Fire-King refrigerator dish ($.25)

and a couple of Fire-King custard cups for $.05

Next,

 I saw a stack of small dishes. I guessing their used for sauce or fruit. I'll be using the dishes for display,

I paid $1.00 for this amazing vintage Taylor Smith & Taylor small bread/dessert plate, Pastoral pattern.

Farmer plowing with two horses, green, embossed white edge.

So pretty, I'll be on the look for more of these plates.

I think the red trimmed bowl will look nice in a Christmas setting. ($.05) it is stamped Syracuse China

The Second Yard Sale....... 

I found a few fun treasures

For $5.00 I brought home -

The stuffed parrots hanger isn't my thing, but I thought I might try and change the parrots into crows, what do you think.

Maybe use black glitter or feathers? I'll let you know how this project turns out.
***

Who doesn't love Snoopy? The coffee cup is super large, will probably use it as a decor piece maybe a gift not sure.

***

Isn't this fabric covered trinket box adorable? I'll be using it for storage.

***

I picked up this red and black nut dispenser thought it would look great with maybe little pumpkin potpourri for Fall.

***

I think this aluminum coffee peculator will look great with my other tea-pot planters out on the deck for next Summer

***

This bag of water spigots valve handles is one of my favorite finds today!

Here I have the handles displayed in the seed box.

This weekend thrifting was so fun and the prices were great!

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found out thrifting this week. 

 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post......

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.
