Let me just start by saying I hit a couple of doozy sales this weekend. Friday and Saturday were both VERY good to me. I was thrilled with my Friday finds, but Saturday proved to be the icing on the cake. This post will cover my FRIDAY finds.
I hit four sales, but the majority of my goodies came from one sale.
The woman painted china and must have done shows.
She also had some awesome Christmas items and craft items. My big score was the old silver tinsel. I got a fairly good amount and it is the old heavy stuff that has a tarnish to it.
A large Christmas corsage and old glitter.
A forest of good sized old bottle brush trees, vintage pink glass garland and a couple of boxes of ornaments.
A spun head angel, old jingle bells and a swell book of "Card Games for Children".
I lucked out again and found some spun heads.
A strand of old glass garland with over sized beads. There are quite a few that are broken, so I think I may restring it.
A large supply of old plastic numbers, probably once used on a sign.
A cute vintage light-switch cover.
Old straws to add to my stash.
Some old unused ice cream bags. Perfect to bag up purchases at my shows this winter.
I was pretty much on cloud nine after this sale. The glass garland, bottle brush trees and the old silver tinsel were my favorite finds. I didn't think the weekend could get much better UNTIL I HIT THE ESTATE SALE ON SATURDAY morning. Post coming soon....
I am anxiously awaiting your next entry. You have the best luck!
I love the old ice cream bags.

Love the "tote all" - was that one of your finds or did you already own it.

OMG Laurie--you have GOT to make a spunhead Japanese geisha and it is going to come straight to my house! Please please please save that one for me when you sort out all your stuff. What a great haul and can't wait to see the next bunch. PS--Cowboy Bill & Billie's kids are growin' like weeds and I'll be doing an update soon, ha ha ha.
