As always, every Monday you can check out other bloggers' thrifty finds at
Southern Hospitality This weekend was our citywide garage sale. I must have gone to 30 sales, and this is what I got. Not alot, but I guess it's a good thing I didn't find something at every sale, right? I got some pottery. That big vase is Abingdon Pottery, which I had never heard of, so I had to Google it. They ceased production in 1950, so it is at least 59 years old. The other vase is a McCoy, and the bootie and bird are marked USA. I always wanted one of these "Mother" pictures, below. Even though it has a little water damage, I love it. The vase I couldn't pass up at 50 cents.
This little cash register I got at a sale run by former antique store owners. Everything they were selling was SO cheap. This was $1.00. I am selling it on Ebay. There is a link on my sidebar, if you're interested.
I like this plant holder. It's very cottagey looking. It was $1
I thought this was a picnic basket, but it's a grill! The owner wanted $5 for it. I said no, that I thought it was a picnic basket. He said "Take it for $2.00". So as you can see, he MADE me buy it! I hope you found some treasures this weekend too!

I have the same grill-got at an auction years ago in the original box. Also got a blue picnic basket that matches and they look fun in my kitchen. You got a good deal!

It's a grill? My goodness, I've never seen one of those before. That's a clever idea for a picnic, isn't it?

ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I love your Mother print, it looks like a Mary Gold print, there are many mother motto prints by Mary Gold, I have only one. Love all your picnic tins above, we have stacks of them at the cabin too!
