Time for Friday Finds.

An easel.

 Tan suitcase with the original collapsible hangers and keys inside.



 A globe in great shape including the how-to booklet - 1974.

 Who knew you had to how-to a globe?




A group of bottles.

I think I love them.

I love old children, don't you?

Rusty stars.

A fancy leg off something.

A worn New Testament for my collection.

Stamped inside the cover.

Two owners - one from Alabama and one from Indiana.

So sweet.

A pile of rackets - all but one with the presses.











Small bookcase with atomic legs.

 Birdcage.













Children's books.

Round vanity tray.

Two small oil cans.












Hawaiian cookbook.











Two old atlases.

A worn silver tray.

A flip top green bench/trunk.

 I promise I read every one.
See y'all!

    Great stuff Donna ... I love the old bottles ... old children's chairs ... and that old cash drawer. Does that make me old too? Too bad your shop is not in traveling distance to me.
    Sorry about the death in your family.
    Hugs,

    My sympathies, Donna, to you and the family.

    I was going to say how much I love vanity trays, but oh, my gosh, how I love that cash drawer! I wanted to make a comment about old children, but you beat me to that one! All wonderful goodies this week !

    Oh my! Where do I start wishing? The globe- I need to know how to globe also! (Noun vs. verb...It happens all the time, like Roller Blading, which should really be in-line skating!). Could those bottles be old bottles that held saline or blood for intravenous drips? I LOVE old children! Especially when they wear red leather high tops! What do people do with the old tennis rackets? I "need" the white bookshelf. Love the legs, too! And, the green trunk, especially because of the green, and it's a box, even though I can't see all of it, and did I mention it's green? I really do need a round vanity tray (because the oval ones can be found anywhere!) and the oil cans, although I don't know why. They're just neat! I could also use more old atlases. Maybe we can talk about those old language cards when you get your Etsy shop set up again. Love 'em! And the red cash register!!! Sweet! You've outdone yourself once again!

    We send our condolences to you and your family. Take care. Fonda (& Katie)

    Great finds Donna. The red cash drawers is my favorite but there are so many wonderful goodies here. Silly me, I thought globes were self explanatory.
