I hit three sales today. One was decent. I was #23 to get in the door and got in with the first wave of people. This was one of those sales where I had to poke thru things to find the good stuff.
The woman made jewelery and she had quite a few old plastic pieces for crafting. I was happy to find these. A cute old reindeer and a pair of old cigar boxes (which the crafting items were packing into).
Can you see the tiny doll fridge behind the deer's ear? It was tucked in with all the crafting stuff. I like the willy nilly nature of finding things like that.
The plastic pieces were all fun shapes and colors. Note the salmon and yellow colored circles with the dog and horse heads. I am always amazed at the tiny stuff that I find.
The woman also made sea shell jewelery and had tons of tiny bags of shells. These will be perfect when the spun head mermaids show up in my studio again.
Miss sugar and spice and everything nice tea towel had to come home with me.
Packs of old tissue paper and some satin colored balls (in the background) for crafting.
The motherload of old tissue paper...original display box and original yummy colors.
A pair of towels with a beachy theme. I thought this first one might look swell used as art or a crazy pillow (in my beach house someday).
It was a decent day. Good luck to all my east coast friends with Ms. Irene...will be thinking of you.
You are such a magnet for those awesome little vintage doodads. Not to mention an entire box of vintage tissue! :-) Have a wonderful weekend!

OM Goodness!
Be still my heart with that tissue paper, you do have a way about you (as Billy Joel would say....:0)

Great little bits and pieces. I don't mind those kinds of scores at all - they are little and easy to store and kind of "guilt free" - LOL!

Can't wait to see your Spunhead creations esp the mermaids :-)
I'm sure you'll put all those tiny pieces of fun to good use! Cute doll fridge too. Good haul on everything else.....Sigh.

Oh you lucky girl.......AGAIN! I'm on a listing for estate sales out here, but the good ones are always 50 miles away and driving is difficult for me. I guess I'll just have to keep being jealous of you....boo hoo!
Hugs,
Meri

For some reason I, too, am attracted to tiny things. I think my mom used to give me little things as a kid. I love the little horse heads and the
fridge. :>)

Love, love, love that fridge. That would make me happy for weeks from a sale. Never thought to look at the towels. How cute are those going to be beneath the row of swim caps. Spot on plastic finds. Another wonder living through you moment. Smiles...Renee

You could open your own vintage gift shop with your vintage tissue paper display. I love those towels! (And I think the refrigerator is Renwal - it's probably marked. You could start a new collection!)

SCORE!!!!!! Wow, Laurie. How you manage to find the stuff. What fun! Kathy

Oh, I love the box of Dennison tissue papers! Right up my alley! If you ever want to part with it, I'll happily give it a home! Lovely finds!

I think the unexpected treasures that we have to dig for are the best, don't you? LOVE that sugar and spice towel, and yes that other towel would make the perfect pillow for your future beach house!
