Friday, Designated estate sale day in my life. Shiny, glittery finds today.
Lots of Christmas ornaments in original boxes, an old jewelry box to re-purpose, vintage playing cards, an old clothespin bag (made from a child's shirt), lots of sequins and some other odds and ends.
A large bag FULL of sequins in their original packaging for 50 cents.
A couple of decks of great old cards. I really like the horse ones. I will color copy them and use them in decoupage projects. I have a bunch of other horse themed decks as well. Just couldn't pass up the rose deck tho.
Shiny Bright ornaments in their original boxes. Not only do I love these old ornaments for their great patina, but i love the graphics on the boxes. I also got some vintage aluminum netting (middle of photo on the left). I am so excited whenever I find it. It makes great wings and comes in super colors - I have pink, silver, gold and blue.
And who can resist some old napkins with this cute Santa graphic!
Happy Weekend!
As usual I am so jealous! I covet the sequins- aren't the colors of old sequins the best? I did find a great Johnson Bros Oregon commemorative plate today for $3. Some yahoo on ebay has the same plate for $300 but that is just plain silly.

I totally want to see what you are going to MAKE with these things. Wanna come to my garage sale...Definitely getting rid of some Christmas things. Like a 12 Foot lighted Tree for one...

Fabulous finds!! I only found one box of old silver Christmas balls this weekend. I think I need to follow you around. The deal would have to be...you get all the colors and I get all the silver. Ha!
Warmest bear hugs,
