Saturday was "Small Business Saturday" which I didn't remember until I saw it mentioned online somewhere later that day. I did hit an estate sale Saturday. I'd say that counts. Here is the haul. Metal number labels-- wonder what they were for originally? A lucite mushroom napkin/letter holder that is actually dated 1969. Two cute watering can bud vases; both were made in Japan.
How about a McCoy icicle pot? Aren't they cool? I saw one in a magazine years ago but have never seen one in person until now. Very nice for this time of year. Another planter-- this one is marked Marvan on the bottom. That name is new to me.
Several books. That hippo cook book is a riot with funky cartoons from 1969.
Old, wooden, stacking clowns called "Bill Ding--" Get it? These are pretty collectible although this set has definitely seen better days.
A bunch of Christmas die-cut decorations. There was a huge box of these unused. I probably should have bought more, but I was getting tired of going through the box!
Here's a better look at the large wild flower book. It has 400 plates of flower illustrations, and it weighs a ton.
Here are a couple pages from the above book.
Pretty good for this time of year. This might have to hold me for a good, long while. Sales are getting fewer and fewer.
Thanks for looking!
I think I remember Bill Dings...Love the icicle pot..very cool..I guess there aren't many sales during the winter..
ReplyDeleteI love the books! Makes me think about going over to the old thrift store later! I need a 'fix'! Hugs!
