A few cobwebs, too!
Last Monday our niece Leia came to spend the day.
I was in the fog of Extra-Strength Tylenol.
No, I did not drive.
Somewhere along the way I left behind a bag with vintage Ideal magazines and other items. I have no recollection, but I am sure they were fabulous.
Horses, goats, cows, dogs, peacocks, deer - just to name a few.
Love the sculptural quality of this old piece of organ.
I will list this on Etsy as soon as I get it clean.
Could not resist this $1 jeans jacket covered with hundreds of vintage buttons - front and back.
It weighs about seven pounds.
Fits perfectly.
I will have to soak it for days and dry it out in the sun.
Another cleaning project. <sigh>
That's not distressing you see - it is mold!
A silver picture holder.
Another colander - I thought it was graniteware, but it is just dirt.
An unusual mold.
Sell or keep?
heart

A rusty grater and eggbeater.
A floral frog covered in (?).
Six heart molds.
I am sure the tea tin is pretty under the crud.
Love its shape and the lift top lid.
See the tiny hole in his mouth?
A roll of tiny jute fits in the back.
Chalkware.
If you find a purple Publix bag packed with some treasures, let me know.
I am missing whatever is in it.
See y'all!
UPDATE: MY PURPLE BAG WAS SAVED AND HIDDEN UNDER THE COUNTER AT THE THRIFT STORE!

Hey Donna! I miss seeing you at Riverfront..I did go check out your new location last time I was there..the new booth looks so great! Hope to see you next time I come visit!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, you've found some interesting treasures for sure! That smokin baby is pretty creepy. LOL! Hope you find your purple bag!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my eye out Donna! You got yourself some great finds this week--love the blue handle on the egg beater, the gorgeous toile, the cake tin (keep for a while!), and the piece of organ, and oh yea, the drawers--they're awesome :)
ReplyDeleteYou had a great treasure day, foggy or not! This was the week for treasures....I scored a lot myself so now I need to stop!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, as usual! I have a white heart shaped basket like that. I added mesh ribbon and used it as a wreath for Valentine's a couple of years ago. Hope your filled purple bag will show up one day where you least expect to find it!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, as usual, Donna! The windows can be tricky, because if you scrub too hard, you're gonna scrub off the awesome white chippy-ness. I'm going to start scouring craigslist once the weather is warmer, as it is the time of year where people start replacing old windows in their home. Last year I picked up 2 truck loads that way.
ReplyDeleteThose boxes with the numbers are amazing! You've got lots of work ahead of you with those windows but I'm sure they will be totally worth it once they are done.
ReplyDeleteFeel better!!

ReplyDeleteYou may have nailed it with that one.
Fascinating what people of yore used to think was reasonable to have string coming out of, hey?
The suitcase, the drawers and the tin were my favorites. That smoking doll head is creepy. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo many goodies this week! Love the drawers and the molds. That jean jacket is amazing! I agree with Danni, that smoking baby is a little creepy. I've never seen one before. Hope your bag full of goodies turns up.
ReplyDeleteoh, no ! I'm SO sorry you lost a bag. Can you go back to where the sale was and see if they found it ? Maybe you stuck it in the garage as you were unpacking and forgot you set it down. I HATE when I can't remember where I put things ! I'm loving the set of little hearts, very cute !! Perfect for V-Day. I went to an estate sale twice yesterday, and there was a line outside both times so I never got in. It looked like a small house and probably not much room for a lot of people. I've never had that happen before and I was quite bummed that I couldn't wait around. Seeing your goodies makes me feel like I got to be there with you ! Thanks for sharing !
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, love the little smoking baby! lol! For the jacket you might try spraying it down with vinegar if all else fails! I did that for my headboard that I painted and it worked like a charm!
ReplyDeleteTania
I love that smoking baby, what a fabulous whimsical treasure. Love those boxes and all the rusty crusty dusty stuff too.
ReplyDeleteOh Donna - I love the smoking baby...don't ask me why but that sort of thing cracks me up. :)
ReplyDeleteDenise
Wow...nice haul...especially for a drugged-up girl. : ) I LOVE the organ piece, and the mold would be a keep at my house. Kudos again, Donna!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Donna.........too cold and snowy for me to get out
ReplyDeleteand do some pickin'!! Hope you find the missing bag!
As usual Donna, you have found some very interesting stuff. My favorites would be the numbered boxes. The jacket with all the buttons is amazing, but likely too heavy to be comfortable. Really neat idea though. Hope you find your lost treasures.
ReplyDeleteAudrey Z.
Once again, you found some great stuff! My favorite this week is the tablecloth. It is just beautiful! I love the heart molds as well...great for Valentine's Day! Have a great weekend. Maybe your Publix bag will turn up somewhere! Bummer...:(
ReplyDeleteLove the table cloth and those drawers!
ReplyDeleteI always look for great drawers. These are perfect for sorting mail and art supplies, even my small devotional books. Again, you've found great stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe toile you found is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteReally excellent finds, Donna! Especially love the toile and heart molds! Have a lovely weekend, Cecilia
ReplyDeleteYou got some great finds! Love those drawers with the numbers. Thanks for sharing your great finds. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteFun finds! I LOVE those numbered boxes!!
