With the holidays over and nothing but snow and cold here in Michigan, cabin fever has really been setting in! I haven't been out shopping since December, so when my friend
Bargain Hunter asked me if I wanted to go to the Ingham County Indoor Garage Sale & Flea Market today, I jumped on it. We had a great time -- lots of laughs and catching up on news, plus finding some treasures to take home.
I found was this great mid-century cowboy ceiling light cover as soon as we walked in the door.
I didn't know it at the time, but 'cowboy cool' was to be the theme for the day. I found three western-related treasures, which are always really popular on Etsy. There was a lot more western stuff there today, but this is all I got. As usual, I got some mid-century and a few linens, too (as if I needed more!)
Here's what I came home with:
|
Wonderful 'shop class' project lamp with a western saloon scene and original cowboy lampshade |
|
The cowboy and saloon keeper at the bar have hand-cut detail |
|
A kid's holster set from the 1950s. I remember having a red one very much like this...so cool! |
|
Sweet made-in-Japan kitty figurines |
|
The aluminum drink spoons are still in the original package! |
|
Love these black and white spatterware shakers |
|
This barkcloth drapery panel has a big stain in the center, but was bargain priced. If I can't get the stain out, I can use it for pillows |
|
An unusual India-themed tablecloth. I'm not sure how old it is, but it's the first elephant tablecloth I've seen |
|
Pre-Disney Florida tablecloth -- also bargain priced! |
|
Roosters & mid-century color scheme -- hard to pass up |
|
This black Americana tablecloth is in great condition |
|
I think this tablecloth is going to end up going to live with Bargain Hunter. She needs tablecloths |
You'll probably see some of these in my Etsy shop soon. Did I get anything to keep? Maybe this terrific, tacky musical mushroom with gnomes! I haven't decided if I should keep it or sell it. What do you think?

Those tablecloths are fabulous! Especially that Florida one. I love going to the Indoor Garage Sales that are held in my area. I always find the best deals there.
Have a great day!
