Day Two of Vintage

This was by far the best time to go to the outdoor flea markets!  It was the last weekend for them and dealers don't want to pack things up so I was getting anywhere from 50% to 75% off!

I got 2 opalescent pieces for myself for only $2.00 each!!!!

What is this?  A cordial?  I know a votive candle would fit perfectly inside it.

This is a beautiful bowl!  I'd say it's a vegetable bowl size, it's that large.

Love the open feet on it!

 Pretty depression glass dish.

It's handpainted.

Found a boatload of Christmas ornaments!

I think I'm going to fill a bowl with these for the holidays.

You really didn't think I'd come home without at least one of these, did you?

Paint by number tray and two small pictures.  Yes, I did show some restraint this time and passed on some!

I love picking something like this up on my first stop and then filling it up with breakable smalls along the way!

More to come tomorrow!

More thrift shopping!

A friend of mine took a day off work and we spent the day thrift shopping!  My favorite thing to do!  I think I was pretty shopped out from my thrifting vacation, but I still managed to find a few things!

First off, I found this paint by number for the awesome price of $3.00!  Peeps, please do NOT put glass over a paint by number!  Just in the time I got this one home, the paint had softened up and was sticking to the glass.  I was lucky, I got the glass off and there wasn't any damage to the picture.

At the same thrift shop, I found this beauty!  I had seen it before but it was always way too expensive.  My patience paid off!  I got this one for $5.00!!!  It's a very long picture, about 32" long.  There was another one there but it was $8.00 and showed damage.

This is just plain weird!  LOLOL!

I'm pretty sure it's Shim's brother!  Yep, I need to do some research on this one!

These are huge industrial size!  Wonderful old picking shears.  The note attached to it says it doesn't cut fabric too well!

This is just a really cute poodle that I just couldn't resist!

I had to laugh about this one.  I found this sealed bag of items and all I could see were the large trees and two wooden pieces in it.  I liked the trees, so I purchased the bag for $3.00.

I was thrilled to find even more trees inside it, the cutest small ones I've ever seen and that little piece of the couple building a snowman!

Was able to get a few more bowls for my Christmas project!  The one on the left has a bee on the bottom of it, it's Higbee glass!  Might not be able to part with that one.  :o)

Very pretty crystal wedding compote!

Lastly, I've been looking for a blazer to wear to court.  I didn't have anything nice for the Fall weather but couldn't find anything I liked with a price tag to match.  Look what I found!

It's a beautiful beige color with green and maroon houndstooth.  Made in USA, not a rip, tear or frayed thread on it.  Seriously looks like it was never worn.  What's wrong with it?  It's dry clean only, but for what I paid for it, I'll get rid of it before paying to have it dry cleaned!  Can you guess what I paid for it?

Finds!

It's been a long time since I've posted any finds, now I'm so far behind, it will take days to catch up!  So, here is part one.

I found these on eBay!

I saw these at an antique shop and passed on them because they were priced too high.  I never saw this shape before, so I really wanted them!  Next day, I went to another antique shop and found the same set for over half the price I saw the day before!  Some times it pays to walk away!  They are three panels of outdoor themes.

I loved the look of this one.  Check out her nose!  LOL!  Oops!

Another one I walked away from but wanted badly, my hubby and I have a fascination with eagles, so I really wanted this one, again, priced way too high.  Got it on sale!

I've been looking at the cocker spaniel PBN's for awhile now, finally scored!

Two more:

Something else I've wanted and finally got!  A metal magazine holder.  Best part of this one is, I found it at the Goodwill Store so it was priced right but I was given a Goodwill Gift Card for Christmas, so I got this for free!  :o)

I started cleaning it with Nevr-Dull and it's coming out nicer than I expected!  I always have to laugh at these, people would miss sections and some people won't touch those but I love them when they aren't quite right.

Here's a trash can I found!

And another desk caddy:

Someday, I hope to have an office filled with paint by number items!  I'm all set with the trashcan, desk caddy and I think I can use the magazine rack for rolls of bubble wrap.  sigh, someday maybe.

Along with the free magazine rack, I couldn't resist this.

What can I say?  I'm a sucker for cute faces!
