With sunny skies and morning temps in the 70s, it was a great weekend to check out the area yard sales. Armed with the classifieds and mugs of coffee, Mom and I left early Friday morning with high hopes of finding some treasures for my booth. We logged over 50 miles on the car, but it paid off because we found…....
Two matching ceramic wall pockets, a Nashco New York metal tray, a blue/white cow creamer and a hard-to-find "Star of David" stuffed egg plate.
We also found a vintage brown/white train case by J C Higgins, a cute fabric bell pull with 3 yellow birds, a 1959 calendar plate and a vintage GE kitchen clock.
We continued the hunt Saturday morning and continued to add to my growing inventory.....
Since Christmas is just around the corner, I picked up a box of vintage Christmas ornaments, a Waechtersbach Christmas tree mug, some holiday guest towels and a vintage copy of The Night Before Christmas.
Did you treasure-hunt this weekend?

I really, really, really love that bell pull. It's adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up x
Fun and cute. It is time to find Christmas goodies, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLove all the Christmas things -- and the clock and the egg tray and the creamer -- and everything else!

You found lots of great things. I love those ornaments and I have a mug like that! I've been having so family stuff going on and not much thrifting or yardsales for me.
ReplyDeletehugs,

You found some great stuff! I love the little clock, I would love one like that.
ReplyDeleteHugs, cindy
I haven't been treasure hunting in awhile and seeing your 'Great Haul' sure makes me want to go. Your EAPC 'Star of David' Egg Plate is a 'Super Treasure' and very RARE. Don't see many these days for any price. Also loved the Wall Pockets. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff! I did treasure hunt up in Boston. Had to leave my finds with my son since I couldn't carry them on the plane!
ReplyDeleteI love the old book! I went to the Thrift store and found 2 Christmas bell pulls...I guess they're called! They each have 5 of 6 bells and sound so pretty! Enjoy your week, girlfriend! ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Sherry, so glad you had a great day treasure hunting. So much fun to spend the day with your mom. Another one of God's many blessings.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun assortment of goodies! I love the NY tray (I'm a displaced New Yorker) and the funky kitchen clock.
ReplyDeleteThe clock, the clock. My mom had one just like that in her kitchen...oh, the clock.
ReplyDeletelove the clock It reminds me of the one my mom had in her kitchen when we were little
ReplyDeletethe crazy thing Sherry is I don't really like shopping or buying, I get most of my stuff now from a picker, I just like the creative end. I did go to an auction last month that I loved. This was a good week for you! the train case and ornaments, i would like to find some ornaments for my booth.

I have that very same clock! I found it at the curb and now it's sitting in my basement. Guess I should pull it out and do something with it, hmm?
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. Stopping by from Linda's NTT party.
You really found some fun stuff! I love the clock and the Christmas things. I do enjoy hitting the garage sales, but in this area, they are almost over due to the weather... Darn it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

What a great hunting day you and your mom had. I think my favorites are the Christmas ornaments and the vintage book. The pair of wall pockets is a great score, you were lucky to find the pair.
ReplyDeleteLove the bell pull and the vintage Christmas decs!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and your mom were very successful!! Sounds like a fun junkin' day to me!! Great stuff! I can never get enough vintage Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteJane
Those ornaments will probably go pretty quick. Would love to visit your booth if I lived near you. I use all of my vintage ornaments on my aluminum tree, such fun.
ReplyDeleteAnn

ReplyDeleteWow! Such great finds! Really like all those vintage Christmas ornaments!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Janet
What fun finds! I haven't been treasure hunting in ages, but your sharing helps take the edge off my withdrawals. :)
ReplyDeleteSome sweet lady in my relatives somewhere had that clock in her kitchen. Wish I could remember who.
I would SQUEAL if I found a box of those Christmas bulbs!
Thanks for putting fun into the day~
