Friday Finds

Last Saturday I was invited to the Belvedere Women's Club First Vintage Market.

Olive Out and Joe Out invited me to come early.

She had already started me a stack.

My pile.

I took the whole load directly to the booth, tagged everything I wasn't keeping.

And headed homeward.

Sorta.

These two were made for each other and are sitting on the front porch.

The trellis has had a makeover.

The crates tagged.

Bought two ladders but one sold as I was bringing it in.

This little cutie is still available.

Sometimes being bottomless can be a good thing.

Like this distressed bird cage.

I passed this sweet pink chair by two years ago and dreamt of it ever since.

First Olive was selling it and then not.

This time when she decided to sell it, I snatched it up.

Olive included the ticking pillow and the hooked chair pad.






While arranging the items in the two booths, I turned the corner of the aisle to spy these two beauties.

Copper rain spouts from an old building.

Going in the new kitchen as shelves.

Stopped by SPCA Thrift Store to find a 50% off sale going on.

Bought this ghostly dresser for Chuck.

No, it's not floating - it was upside down in the truck.

An old military dresser - for the quartermaster. (Stamped on the back.)

Except for dirt, this white Samsonite train case is in great condition.

A pair of badminton rackets in a double press.

A Bessie Pease Guzmann print.

On Tuesday I dropped back by the thrift store to find another 50% off sale.

A tin chicken with an egg cart. 

English tea tin.

Carved wood Santos figure - keeper.

This sweet dresser.

You will find out about her makeover soon.

If you don't like rats, don't read the post!

See the pink chair hanging out in the yard?

She does not stay out there.

Just use her for photo background.

Big frame with a photo of a house.

I have no idea where I bought it.

My neighbor had a sale.

I bought this beautiful mirror to sell.












And this tall white one.

Keeper - for the new kitchen.

We are still boxing up stuff to move out.

We have about two more weeks to get the areas being renovated cleared.

I am trying to restrain myself from buying stuff ahead of time, but cannot resist.

 


Tomorrow you can see Horror Monster's makeover - it's dramatic!


See y'all!

Friday Finds

A Friday Finds post with nary a book to be seen.

In between the time spent moving everything in the dining room and kitchen and breakfast room into the living room, I did a little therapy shopping.

And dreamt of the day when the kitchen is mine again.

(And the reno has not even started!)

Not old, but the perfect size brown bottles for decor.

Bought two serving bowls of this pattern.

Not marked.

Looks and feels like Blue Ridge.

I know it has a name because I once had a set of salad bowls.

This is the pink one.





 

And this is the green one.

The set would have had a yellow and a blue one also.

No luck in finding the other two.

Someone please tell me if you know this pattern.

A boudoir lamp featuring a frolicking nude.

A set of two soup bowls with small plates - pink floral on white - Royal Sphinx.

Collected milk glass pieces for a spring display in the booth.

Small creamer for a birthday present.

Black wire basket.

Divided box.

Plaid Thermos.

Three-compartment basket with hinged lids.

Small three drawer chest - needs some loving.

Another three drawer chest - also needs some loving.




All of these photos were taken by phone.

However, at a meeting recently someone told a tale of purchasing a new camera. Her computer refused to recognize the camera.  She downloaded the software several times.  She tried other computers.

Does this sound like moi?

And the answer is: purchase a new USB cord.

I did.

And it works.

I guess you get what you pay for.

Future pics by a Canon Sureshot.

If you follow me by Instagram, you have seen the above.

Sorry for repeating.

I hope to be back to normal soon.

Whatever normal means.

Our family motto is "We're NOT normal."

Tiny books with floral and gilt covers - keepers!

Believe it or not there were customers who bought lots more than I did.

This guy drove three hours from Atlanta and bought over forty flats of books for a mission in Africa.

Notice he did think to pull out his spare tire just in case. 

There were customers with box trucks ready to be filled.

It was a wild experience to be on the selling side instead of the shopping side.

The book fair was successful which is great news so we can give away the money next year for scholarships and literacy programs.

Plus teachers and charitable thrifts were invited after we closed to gather FREE books and attic treasures.

In other news, on the hunt for windows, I bought a collection of Corning Ware tea pots.

The medium size.

And the large size.













Brace yourself - there is news coming of the state of Horror Monster, my beloved craft stash.
