This past week I made it to an estate sale (nothing except for a 50 cent puzzle and a gag gift for my MIL) and a couple garage sales - this nice weather has people setting up early - yeah! The week also included thrifting from another source - my Mom has been "picking" for me down in Arizona and this past week a box arrived full of goodies :)!
A few of the goodies from the box from my Mom:
Shoes my mom found at a garage sale - Stylish! These will be going to Clear Lake. I am betting it won't take someone long to snap up the middle pay - they are awesome! |
A map of the Western USA dish towel - great condition! Already listed on Etsy. |
A wonderful Springy dresser doily in nice bright colors. (Already on Etsy :)!) |
An absolutely adorable small drawstring bag! I can see this as a wristlet carried by a spring or summer bride as she walks down the aisle. Perfect for the little essentials a bride needs. It could also be her "something old" and "something blue". (Already on Etsy.) |
A Michael Murray scarf (and also an Ellen Tracy that I have yet to get a photo of). (Already on Etsy.) |
And here are some pics from my garage sale finds - just 2 sales led to these purchases - not bad:
A table runner and vintage metal cow tags! How awesome are those tags! |
Same garage sale as runner and cow tags - a vintage wooden ironing board with a fabulous green metal base and the original label! Will be going to Clear Lake's The Weekend Cottage next week. |
The other garage sale had things priced to sell!
A green planter with mushrooms on it and butterfly fabric for a future project. (See other items closer up below.) |
Vintage linens (need ironing!) |
A vintage Calaprint tablecloth in like-new condition! |
Linking up again this week with Apron Thrift Girl and Her Library Adventures.
