Hmmmm.... I'm not too thrilled with this thrift share. My finds were small, but on the cheap. Where were the sheets this past week!!! I want some lovely Vintage sheets....Oh sheet fairy where are you? I'm over here.
Friday there was a garage sale down the street from my house so I made a quick stop so that I not late
r than usual to work. I grab some sparkle-y fabric scraps, for who knows what, and some Calligraphy pens (for SNG's). I only grabbed one box of pens and the lettering set, but as I was paying the garage sale hostess (?) grabbed all the other stuff and just gave it to me. All for $3.20. (I never would have guessed there was an Idiot guide to Calligraphy.)

Saturday I had a list of what seemed to be some good garage sales, and I think they were, but not much called out to me. A large heavy metal desk for $10 did try to seduce me and it have me fighting with myself on whether to buy it or not, but I have no place for it....so it will haunt my thoughts on why I didn't buy it for the unforeseeable future....sigh.
My itty bitty little purchases was this glass canister with lid; it may be great for a terrarium, and two small juice glasses (I do love the diamond pattern) and a small Fire King milk glass bowl.
Sunday I revisited an estate sales I went on Saturday to see if there was anything good for half price. I walked out with a super cute gravy boat (can a gravy boat be cute?), and this vintage enamel flower brooch.

There is a hole at the bottom of the boat to get the bottom/lean part of the gravy. |
Great stuff! Looks like yes, a gravy boat can in fact be cute. I want it!
ReplyDeleteWe had that same gravy boat at our local Goodwill for over a week awhile ago. I think they finally threw it out since it never sold. :(
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh how I heart that brooch!
ReplyDeleteThat brooch is to die for!!
ReplyDeleteGreat buys at the yard sale. I like the handle on the lid of the apothecary jar; it seems to have a little more detail than many I've seen.
