I cannot open my mouth much without pain.
However, I do not need my jaws to open to go junkin'!
First this regal lady in distressed white with a shabby purple skirt - only needed cleaning a bit.
It is sitting on a lovely rosebud sheet.
I thought they would make quite a display for my Valentine postcards at the booth.
Great plaid quilted flannel lap robe.
Or it could be a very clean horse blanket.
Do you make up stories for the photographs you find?
A stack of tattered 1890's books on a silverplate pedestal.
Keepers!
Painted gold and off to the shop - for just a few dollars he can be yours.
They were Christmas photos.
I will list this on Etsy.
It has been stripped and refinished, but whoever did it left a small portion underneath so the original finish can be seen.
Always a good idea.
Vintage hats!
I am off to try to catch up on things which do not require me to open my mouth.
See y'all!

You are a true thriftier....going out in pain and suffering! I would do the same because it doesn't help to sit around, right?! Feel better....soon I hope!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your jaw! Glad it's not keeping you down. I love the old suitcase and the hats. I have my mother's old hats hanging on the wall in my bedroom. I should probably write a blog post about that sometime!
ReplyDeleteThat campaign table is so neat! I have never seen or heard of anything like that before.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to feeling like yourself!

Hope you feel better soon.... No talking or eating...I would have quite the issues but you are a trooper. Great finds this week. Love that box for slides...
ReplyDeleteI am so glad when I find beautiful old portraits of women at the flea market. I really like the one you have found (and the love affair story is funny :).
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I am sorry to hear about your jaw. That sounds very painful! I hope it gets better very soon, I know what it feels like to deal with constant pain and I am glad you were able to go our junkin' anyway. I love all of the furniture and you have me going through my colanders to use for decor. Such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteDonna what fun finds. You are right you don't have to open your mouth to find great junk!! So sorry about the pain...ouch!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Linda
I love your finds this week Donna! I do a similar post with all my finds called Treasure Trove Tuesdays, last week's finds are up on my blog now. I am in love with that little table missing the drawer! If I lived closer I would totally buy it from you! I think it would be adorable with a basket in place of the drawer! I also love the photos and the story you gave them, fun!
ReplyDeleteTania
I actually HAVE and USE that colander every day! Nice finds.Feel better!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at the horseman / lady story. Yes, my sister & I have lots of fun making up stories with box lots of photos at auctions, and there's always a jilted woman it seems. There's also an old trio set of prints that seemed to be in every Victorian home that included Jenny Lind. We refer to those as the wife, the husband & mistress. Besides the horseman, I love the blanket & campaign desk.
ReplyDeleteYou did good even with no voice for negotiations. Love the furniture you found and those vintage photos. That sounds like a good story and you should stick to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Donna.......and hope your pain goes away soon!
ReplyDeleteWell Donna ... you don't let anything stop you from going junking. (Me neither) ... Love all your finds. Hope your jaw will get better soon. I keep an vintage aluminum colander sitting in my sink all the time. Love them. I think the folding desk is very nice too.

So sorry to here about your jaw, Donna. I call 2014 the Year of the Dentist because I was in there practically one a week. Things aren't looking good for 2015. So far I've been in more than once a week-unbelievable. Love all your finds, but especially that silver pedestal stand; I can see why you're keeping it! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteMiss Donna;
ReplyDeleteFor heaven sakes, Lady!!!!! You should more than likely be resting!!! UGH!!!!! Can you use ice on the tendon??? It will burn, but will help so much with the pain, if you can do that!! Also, Please try and drink some Green Tea, Hot. As that might help, I Hope and Pray!!!
Your chair looks like it is either Oak, or else Bird's Eye Maple!!! I know only as I have a Bedroom Set of Bird's Eye Maple that I have had since I was a very small child. The drawer of the desk likes like it is Bird's Eye Maple, also??
I have your Colander, and I would be lost without it, as I use it to steam Dumplings, when I make Asian foods, and Veggies at home, as We Both enjoy Asian foods so very much.
Please tell Chucks that I said that he must give you an extra $25.00, since you are such a Trooper!!!!! ;-)
Please Get Well, and Take Care!!!
Glad your jaw problem didn't slow you down from finding all those goodies. After being at the hospital today with my dad I told my mom we needed some retail therapy. Nothing like a trunk of junk fron Goodwill to make a girl feel better. Lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! The horse riding gentleman definitely loved that lady, I'm pretty sure he was the one who gave her the pearl necklace! Take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteWere you able to keep your mouth shut, dear Donna? ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat finds.
I'm looking forward to a day out soon.
The flu has been here too long.
Great finds Donna! Love the chair and that suitcase. Hope your gums and jaw feel better soon! Blessings, Cecilia
ReplyDeleteGreat story for those photographs. I love those hats! You are certainly a dedicated thrifter, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat folding desk is awesome. Wish I lived closer, because I would definitely make it mine!!
ReplyDeleteI can't resist buying old colanders. I have the same one you found. I only have four. My favorite one has feet and handles. The design on the bottom is a star and all around the inside are stars. I use them all the time for cooking and holding fruits.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your pain hope it leaves you soon.
Junkin through the pain! You are such a trooper! That folding campaign desk is the bomb!!!!! Did you sell it??
ReplyDeleteDonna, so sorry to hear about your mouth! Hope you are feeling much better now. Junkin does seem to make us junkers feel a bit better. lol! You found some great stuff. Love the old books and had a good laugh out of your made up love story! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
