Not alot out there today and my enthusiastic mood was darkened at the first sale I went to today. The company running the sale was on a COMPLETE power trip and gave out the numbers for the sale in the screwiest manner I have ever seen in my estate sale career. Everyone there was completely baffled by the odd manner in which they did numbers (I would elaborate, but was rather confusing). I won't be hitting this estate sale company again!!! GGRRRR....
I hit two sales.
Can't have a day without Christmas
Cute little gal on a vintage tin, two metal pink diaper pins, some old black wooden beads, nut-cups, a box of plastic hor d'oeuvres picks and some vintage floral stickers.
A bunch of old decks of childrens card games. I like the fish shaped cards of the "Go Fish" game.
My favorite find had a quarter price tag.
A bag with probably 20 of these little plastic birds. They are the perfect scale for my little gals that I make. The little objects next to the penny, I believe to be corn cobs. The bird and the corn cobs look like they are made to go together - but that is a guess.
Hitting a antique show tomorrow morning with my mom in Camas, Washington. Looking forward to spending some time with her and crossing my fingers for a good find.
Have a great weekend.
That's the Sunbeam Bread girl on the tin - must be a fruitcake tin. And, to steal your words...*"Surprise - I have the same deck of Hearts cards" - in my game display.
Good lcuk tomorrow - I have a Church Sale, the Super Cheap Thrift and a BIG yard sale next to a festival. Yipppee!

I have one of those little birds (I know, shocking) too - I have no idea what they were used for, with that little thing on the bottom. The Christmas is pretty, and the flower seals are my favorites.

I think the plastic birds are great!! And I think that is "Little Miss Sunbeam" of Sunbeam Bread fame on the tin.
