Friday Finds

An estate sale last Saturday was hidden right in the middle of Aiken.

An old game reserve for a once grand hotel in the 1930's.

A cottage packed with bottles, books, and dolls.

WARNING: If you were a bit disturbed by the dolls in yesterday's post, just wait until you see the ones from this sale!

A Carom board in the box with all the pieces and instruction booklet.

A brown wooden donkey flower pot holder.

I could not even imagine how many dolls were in this house - all old.

A pair of Canadian sailor dolls.



These are keepers for now.

Especially the cute small one.

A doll I have not ever come across.

A cloth body with pressed tin head and shoulders.

I think I love her.

The rubber baby doll had been exposed to high heat at some point but his head is fine.

Two torsos.

Miss Kewpie looks a bit afraid of her companions.

Yes, four more heads.

The last two heads.

I know I love the head (only half) on the left.

Both are definitely my style. 

A bottle brush tree with mercury glass beads. 

Two Avon powder tins.

There had to be hundreds of Avon bottles and jars.

Plus hundreds of bottles of every description. 

A print of a girl practicing first aid on her dog.

A black lunchbox.

Reading textbooks.

Keepers.

Field guides to birds.















 

Stacks of gospel and chorus books.

Maybe I can use this first aid manual on my dolls!

Yes, I caved.

Yes, I bought.

Yes, I am out of my junk funk.

Yes, I've got my junk groove back.

Yes, I will go out hunting this weekend.

There are five estate sales and two auctions. 

Decisions must be made.

Routes must be carefully timed.

Money must be spent.

It's junk-loving time.



See y'all!
