MY WEEKEND FINDS

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of My Weekend Finds, the continuing saga of one girl's quest for more junk!

Please pardon all of my junk, but this post has more than two weeks worth of it! I found that aqua and pink bowl at the flea market last week, and I still haven't stopped drooling over it!

This Hendryx bird cage came from a garage sale, and I can't wait to get my birdies in there. Love those hairpin legs!

I'm a sucker for little red records for my little red record player.

I found a bunch of them, along with some green ones, at an estate sale. The graphics on them are SO cute!

Pretty glasses and an aqua syrup pitcher were found at The Covered Bridge Festival in Indiana.

A vintage Girl Scout cake decoration, perched on a metal flower frog. Were you a Girl Scout? If so, hold up your three fingers, and repeat after me: On my honor I will try, To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.  It's been about a million years since I was a Girl Scout, but I still remember the Girl Scout Promise!

Another picnic tin for the collection, found at the flea market.

My daughter Lizzy knew that this year I was desperately trying to stay away from Target and their always cute Halloween decorations, so she went in and surprised me with these plates! I love them, but they just make me want to go to Target to see what else they have!

Liz and her boyfriend were carving pumpkins, and I just had to share her Hello Kitty pumpkin that she carved!

I found a little vintage desk flag.....

And a humungous vintage flag! This thing is 5' x 9', cotton and has 48 stars. And it came from the Ickiest Estate Sale that I've ever been to. It was run by an elderly man and woman who fought with each other the whole time. Everything in the garage was just sitting willy-nilly on the ground and not priced and covered in dust. The house was SO dusty that I had to walk back out as soon as I walked in. As the man was walking me back to the shed that held other things for sale, he was ranting the whole time about wanting to leave so he could go to the store and get some chicken. All I did was poke my head inside, because at this point I was convinced that he very well might lock me in there, just so that he could go get some of that chicken.... 

The Fishes book had to be thoroughly wiped down, but it's a great addition to my Golden Nature Guides collection. I'm trying to replace the newer ones with the vintage variety.

This old candy box is huge. I was surprised to find it at this sale, amongst all of the dust and dirt, because it's in really great condition.

When I got home, I could hear something rustling inside the box, and when I opened it outside, there were all of these feathers in there. Nothing really crazy about that, I guess, but it still made me feel itchy and icky. You're probably wondering right now why I even went to this sale, let alone bought anything from it. I've been asking myself that same question, and when I come up with an answer, you'll be the first to know!
