As I was driving to work today, I passed a sign for a rummage sale at a local church and it was starting in 15 minutes! I almost didn't go, because I only had a dollar or two and they usually don't take checks. But I turned around and went anyway, figuring I'd either have enough money, get them to hold my stuff or talk them into taking my check. Lucky me! -- the lady taking the money knew me from the Seniors group at our church (where I work) and she said she'd be happy to take my check. They were already letting people in early, so 15 minutes later I was on my way to work with some fun finds.
 |
| An unquilted, hand pieced quilt top, 4 Paden City art deco plates, a blue ironstone pitcher and a few other goodies |
 |
| A Pyrex Verde cinderella bowl, 2 deviled egg plates and a juice carafe |
 |
| A large yellow Pyrex fridge dish (sadly, no lid) and a 403 Woodland mixing bowl |
 |
| A very cool white iron 3-tiered plant stand |
Here are some other treasures I've picked up at sales in the past week or two, but haven't shared with you:
 |
| Some great roly poly Mad Men glasses! |
 |
| Two SunSweet prune juice bottles, no lids -- I think these would be great for cut flowers! |
 |
| A cheese dome & plate, Griffiths spice jar set, an 1950s 'beauty' tin and a home-made cat potholder |
 |
| A casino ice bucket, 'Tempo' cream & sugar by Mieko in Japan and a 1960s AM radio (it works!) |
 |
| A copper & cream 3-level food carrier. How funny this is -- I'd never seen one before this summer and have now bought 3 of them in 4 weeks. I wonder where they've been hiding them? |
I hope you have fun shopping this week and find lots of good
junk stuff! There are so many yard sales and so little time!
