Estate Sale Friday. A Few Good Finds.

I hit one sale today and was in the door with the first wave. Much of what was there was newer, but the few older items I found really made me happy.

An assortment of old needle books with good graphics.  I see these often but a couple of these designs were new to me and they were all bundled together.

A tin mother hen game.

It did not come with the eggs mentioned in the directions, but I liked the hen graphic with the little chicks at her feet.

A nice ceramic duck and some old cups with fun decals.

In the first photo there are three tin cups that are grouped together.  One of them has measurements for half cup etc. The other two are a little more nifty.  Old Mother Hubbard and other nursery rhyme illustrations ring this cup.

Another favorite detail I love to find.  It belonged to FRED taped to the bottom.

Another of the tin cups had a witch on a broom circling the cup!


This Kellogg's advertising book was a favorite today. It is copyrighted 1932.

It folds out and flaps flip back and forth so you can change the attire on the animals.

Of course some of the animals are holding boxes of Kellogg's cereals!

Darling illustrations.  I love the animals on the turtles racing...especially the pig with the hat.

For the few items I found today, I really scored some keepers.

And that cute duck figure I got has already waddled off to join some other friends in my yard.

Here he is on the top shelf quacking away with his new friends.

Happy day and happy loooonggg weekend to all.

I have never seen the needle book with the Indian chief - great score!
I still haven't finished sorting all that lace and going through the patterns from last weekend so will try to finish that up before I add more to the pile - LOL!
Enjoy the weekend, sounds like the weather might not be too bad - yay!

I can see why this one sale made you happy :-)Love the tin Mother Hen game. Actually love all the things you found.The Kellogg's book is way too fun! Had to zoom in to check it out. I've never seen anything like that before. Cute duck display in your yard. Your blog is so much fun to look at. I look forward to it every day. I always find things that I've missed. It's like playing Eye Spy LOL.
Thanks for sharing!

Great fun finds Laurie! Love the Mother Hen game and those tin cups.
It's supposed to be 97 here tomorrow, so I won't even be sticking my big toe outside!

How fun is that tin Mother Hen game! Actually I really love ALL the treasures that you found but I have to say that your outdoor display with the tin pink stove just takes my breath away! Love it!! So darn charming. Have a wonderful weekend.

Wow what wonderful finds. I like those little white like cups with the decals. In your garden I adore that pink stove is it? Darling sitting there among the flowers. Our flowers have to be covered up at night since it's still too cool or brought inside. I tried yesterday to get them out but ended up setting some in the garage and some in the guest cottage, they are all in little planters. My hanging baskets are still at Cookies, I think next Tue I'll bring them home and try and get them outside without killing them.

I spy one lone Christmas ornament there, rescued from what would surely have been an unhappy ending had you not come along! Yard sales here this weekend have been mediocre at best. Have a fab weekend!! See you at Farm Chicks -- woohoo!

I have the needle book with the women on it and the Kellogs book! I love the dog and cat on the other needle book. Too cute.

[janet]

I love the metal mug with the witch on it and a crack on the top just where one might take a sip! If I were to receive a hot beverage served in this cup, I might take offense! HA HA No name on the bottom of this one? I think Fred was a favorite child.
Duck display is great. Lots of fun stuff, you lucky girl.
