The garage sales were still few and far between. I came out of a couple empty-handed. I am convinced that the more poorly worded your garage sale ad is, the more likely I'm going to score some GOOD JUNK. So, let's see what I picked up this weekend.
This cabinet is from one of those aforementioned poorly worded garage sales. One of those sales that listed "old typewriter" and I knew I had to be there as soon as they opened their doors. Of course "old typewriter" was something similar to what I used as a kid growing up in the 90s. It had elctronic settings and plugged into the wall. I was rather disappointed until I spied this cabinet, which had a price tag of $4. How could I say no? It will be used as a display piece once it gets a face life. I had to wipe spiderwebs off the bottom before it could be fully loaded in my truck. I walked back up to ask if I could throw away the paper towel and I spied these...
Simple, but beautiful stained-glass windows that they had saved from a house long, long ago.
These were the rest of the non-holiday finds.
An old phone and a chalkware Virgin Mary. She was a little rough around the edges and had been touched up in a couple of spots, but I knew she had potential (I owe my knowledge on these to Gina).
A weirdo clippy thing that I will use to display postcards or pictures, a lard tin, an Old Spice shaving mug, an ironstone platter, 2 art deco light covers, 2 floral frogs, and 2 cookie cutters.
The holiday finds were this (hand made) Santa face pitcher that will match all my mugs and these Lefton holly berry mugs.
Well, that's it for the finds, which brings me back to my original question: how am I going to top last week? And then it hit me. I owe you guys a giveaway!
Included in the giveaway is everything pictured above: 2 vintage embroidered linens, 7 unused vintage mini spring cards, an adorable vintage Easter postcard, a mini vintage Easter card, 6 Dennison spring gummed labels, a pair of vintage souvenir S&P shakers from Indiana, a cute little vintage plastic deer, and a vintage Si-Nax bottle from Indianapolis, Indiana. (I tried to keep this giveaway springy with a few vintage items from where I'm from.)

ReplyDeleteYou did pretty good this weekend. But I agree, that suitcase haul will be super hard to top. Unless you find someone who love to collect never before used vintage Pyrex and Jadeite in the original boxes. That would be the ultimate score. :-)
Have an awesome week!

Seeing all your goodies reminds me why I miss KY so much. For one, can get to other states pretty quickly, have so much awesome stuff in Midwest. We live west of Grand Junction, CO where I might find some things but the prices are so out there nobody can afford them. Have been to same stores/shops several times and each time same items were there, maybe that should tell vendors something? Even the thrift stores are too expensive. I hear people grumbling about prices all the time. Our Goodwill is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteWe lived north of Bowling Green, KY. There was a little town very similar to Kirklin called Smith's Grove that was full of many incredible antique stores. Got so people knew my name and me theirs since I was in them so often. They'd have great outdoor shows too, oh do I miss those. My health likes it here much better but not part of me that loves old things. Even Helena, MT had great antique stores and Missoula, MT. Helena had several great shows a year downtown. We've been here almost 10 yrs. and I've only seen one antique show advertised. Antique stores aren't open that often either what there are of them.
Enjoy your blog very much, think I need to subscribe. Happy week
