You should know better!
Went to an estate sale last Friday and a couple of yard sales on Saturday.
I am pulling together a whole silverplate collection in Booth C-23.
Whatever does not sell will be used for Christmas displays.
Yes, I said the "C" word!
Among the ones I purchased were the two pedestals and the door bucket with a scroungy-looking cherub.
The door bucket will need a little work, but the pedestals look like new.
A J.C. Higgins Pitching Horse Shoes crate - no game pieces - just the handsome blue crate.
Marked Sears & Roebuck.
The fruit crate made into a primitive cabinet covered in ancient yellow Contact paper.
The giant clip on a pole - so funny!
Those objects you cannot see?
A very long skate - both my feet fit into it.
A gold wire pedestal.
Homemade wooden pedestal.
A very heavy vanity mirror.
The frame crumbled in my hand so I had to save the mirror.
It looks a little better now that I have washed it.
It has a lovely shape and would look lovely as a table top.
If there are any mistakes in this post, please forgive them.
I forgot to write my Friday Finds post until 11PM last night.
You do know college football started last night, don't you?
University of South Carolina beat University of North Carolina!
Go Cocks!
See y'all!

Nice stuff. I love steamer trunk trays. They're really versatile. I just took a Christmas tree to my booth yesterday. I'm hoping to sell it at the sidewalk sale tomorrow, but it's still a Christmas tree in my booth. I feel so wrong.
ReplyDeleteNice finds........love that door pocket and the blue box!
ReplyDeleteYou find the neatest stuff Donna........love your vision!
Donna, you found some nice silver! You said the C word and Eddie put a tree is his booth...yikes, I'm still in summer mode! Love the steamer trunk tray...very cool!
ReplyDeleteYes, the season is upon us and I'm so excited! :-) While packing, I've weeded out some of my silver plate pieces...wish I could ship them to you for your booth! I'm going to list them on Craigslist. I have no where to store them at the new house! Love the mirror!! Glad you were able to save it but hate it about the frame!
ReplyDeleteyou do find the coolest stuff, the clip on the pole ha ha and go gators :p xx
ReplyDeleteGreat finds for your loot pile, Donna! Do not say the C word again...at least until the temps dip below 90! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. I always tell people-I can spell , I just can not type.
ReplyDeleteLove the silver plate!!!!! Oh, wouldn't that mirror look beautiful on a huge dining table in a beautiful home with candles and silver plate........
ReplyDeleteDonna ... You find the most interesting stuff. Love wooden stuff, so the pedestals, even the homemade one, is my choice. The long roller skate will be fun for displays. I am seeing a lot of silverplate in the thrifts and if it's a basket or anything with two handles and looks somewhat like a trophy, I will buy it. I like mine polished if they are engraved. Happy hunting.

ReplyDeleteI can' t even think of the "C" word yet let alone say it. You always find such great stuff. Love all the silver pieces.
ReplyDeleteI think all those sales know you are coming and put their most unique and best stuff out for you to buy, knowing they will get their 15 minutes of fame on your blog!!! You find such different stuff!!
ReplyDeleteThis year the "C" word is creeping into my life. You found some great stuff this week.

ReplyDeleteSome great finds! I've gotta find the energy to get all of mine unpacked and cleaned up from this weekend. Also - you are definitely not the only one that is happy that (college) football is back!
ReplyDeleteYou always find the best stuff. Love all that silver, but my favorite has to be the steamer trunk tray. Thanks for sharing, Donna, at Vintage Inspiration Party.
