Weekend Finds - The BEST!

I bet you are thinking, thank goodness she's done with her finds! Hang in there, these are the BEST!

I found a whole big bag of Wade figures and instantly fell in love with them. Like I need another collection! But just look how cute that snowman is!

The circus animals are my favorite!

This was an interesting item! It's a desk thermometer. Works like a compass.

I found this box of children's tin dish set and thought it was so cute I didn't even look through them. When I got home, I found the Little Bo Peep items mixed in!

Three tin noisemakers!

I couldn't believe I found this in a thrift shop! Beautiful design and wonderful art deco! The handles are celluloid.

Be still my pounding heart! A second one!!!! And just look at it, isn't is awesome?

Bakelite handles!

Feast your eyes! Can you believe it? LOLOL! It's called a terrarium inflatable footstool!

How cool is that? You want it don't you? I know you do!

Latest Finds!

I've really been lazy about blogging lately. I've had some amazing finds lately and haven't shown them. It's time to change that!

Here's one I just couldn't resist. Made from all seashells, except for the eyes, how cute is this?

Okay, so it's not the cutest, but still! It has a face only a mother could love.

This is strange. No markings on it. One side is deep enough to plant a small cactus or something but the other side isn't deep enough, what's up with that?

Party Invites that are puzzles! You write the information on them, take them apart and mail. It says they require a .13 cent stamp.

I almost passed this up, it was so filthy dirty with something that resembled a green moss! I soaked it twice in dishwashing soap and it still didn't come off. I finally sprayed it with Scrubbing Bubbles so they'd get into the crevices and even then, had to do it twice and use a toothbrush on it. Now I'm glad I didn't pass on it!
