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."


See y'all!

Friday Finds

As I gradually became human again from the creeping crud leaving my body, I decided to go through some collections and downsize. 

I started with two bins of bottles.

Here are a few I decided to sell.

Brown Clorox bottles, mustard, and olive jars.

More mustard jars and a few ketchup bottles.

Vinegar dressing bottles with little handles.

I went through the bin of books I have been saving back and read through all of them.  

I could only stand to part with these.

 
The sweet blue French textbooks had to have vintage French ribbons tied to them.

American French textbooks.

The red Water Babies is the third impression of the first printing.

Dorothy's House Party has a lovely cover.

The Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb Riley.

My students loved to recite his poetry - they called him the first rapper.

HAH!


The book in back is filled with his poetry.

The Reader is designed to help teachers celebrate James Whitcomb Riley Day which I did not know existed.

Of course it was written way back when!

As I became able to drive, I went shopping.

I wanted to dig through other junk.

Found more vintage baby cabinet photos.

A set of Buffalo small restaurant plates.

I may have to keep these for awhile.

Chucks actually found these.

I walked right past them. 

Must've been effects of the creeping crud.

Cages for poultry.

Fowl.

And last, but not least, this watercolor of cliffs and sea.

Love, love, love.

Keep, keep, keep.

Look at the frame.


I will be working to move thousands of books for the AAUW Book Fair this weekend, but hope to cram in a shopping trip.

Still in the seventies here and for the next week.

Spring has sprung.

Which means Old Man Winter is lurking in the background to strike us down.

And strike us down hard.


See y'all!

Vintage Charm #67

Friday Finds

Friday finds me - whaaaaat?

SIXTY-THREE!!!!!

Yes, today is my birthday.

Yes, send good wishes.

Yes, give a gift to someone who needs it.

Chucks took me to an estate sale yesterday for a present.

The couple in their nineties moved into a new home and left treasure after treasure behind.

FIVE sheds!

Bike wheel.

Two buckets.

A solid copper box with lid.

Rand-McNally Family Atlas.

Really rough shape.

This campaign poster was glued on the inside cover of the atlas.

You can read about the Wofford professor HERE.

It is interesting to us because Dr. Clinkscales retired to a house on the Wofford campus renamed the Kilgo-Clinkscales House.

Chucks and his father were named after Rev. Kilgo.

And Chucks' father attended Wofford.

I think the atlas may be a keeper because of the campaign poster glued to the inside of the cover.

Copyright 1912.

It's older than I am!

Also older are the stacks of books I bought.

1880's to 1950's.

Mostly children's books.

Look at the tiny Webster's Dictionary on top.

Definitely a keeper.

A small group of presentation New Testaments.

Calling cards from ministers.

I do remember when the preacher came to call.

In one of the workshops - two work aprons.

One Coca-Cola.

"Be really Refreshed" is the 1959 slogan.

One Aiken Lumber. (Notice the telephone numbers.)

A wooden hanger.

A Band-Aid tin.

There were walls of family photos - most professionally framed.

Each photo has the name and the date on a label on the back.

I could not leave the children behind.

The adults I left to fend for themselves.

However I might slip back over Saturday afternoon to see if any others need rescuing.

A bike basket filled with Gerber baby food jars with the blue and silver tops and Duke's Mayonnaise.

In the South it is the ONLY mayo fit to be eaten.

Okay, so I am another year older and probably a bit meaner.

But I am still out junkin'.

That's all that matters.

Plus most of the stuff I buy is older than I am.



See y'all!

I promise I read every one.
