Estate Sale Friday.

Slim pickings today in estate sale land. I hit two sales and one rummage sale.  Found enough to make me happy and did not completely strike out.

A knee hugger elf and vintage icicles in original packaging.

A great old glass canister with flower and animal graphics.  No lid, but still dang cute.

Vintage Christmas balls wire clusters.

A vintage pink cat oil, salt and pepper and vinegar (?) set marked Japan on bottom.

A great old nursery rhyme set of "This Little Pig" made by the Dolly Toy Co. in 1951.

Not a bad morning.

Not sure if I will be hitting sales tomorrow as I am getting Kate out the door.  She will be a camp counselor the majority of the summer at a camp on the Oregon coast.  A few days with no kids before Ben returns for the summer from college.  One in, one out, but both kids will be headed out this fall!

Happy Day!

Doesn't look too slim...made you happy at least.I found that exact canister without a lid last weekend! I also have another one (no lid).The lids to those must have been fragile or something.Looks like one of my knee huggers ran away to your house LOL
Love the Little Pigs nursery set!
I have a kid coming home for the Summer too next week.Full house here all Summer! I'll have to run away a little more :-)

I found that glass canister a few months ago, but I guess I'm one of the lucky ones because mine has a lid. What made it even better was that is was only 50cents (church sale. Those are the best!)

What a change to go from a girl to a boy in the house. I have both boys at a campout this weekend and Claire here at a tournament. The need factor is a huge difference. Love your finds....smiles..Renee

I saw the same glass cannister at the antique mall today...no lid! LOL! I have a similar one...colorwise, but floral...no lid! Those lids are doomed! =D

I'm delighted to find your blog and see all the wonderful vintage treasures you have collected and sell in your etsy shop. But I think you would be so sad to find out HOW I found you? Someone left a very negative comment on a blog I visit, comparing the crafts found at "SaturdayFinds" to crafts you make. I don't know any of the folks involved only to read how hurt the author of the blog SaturdayFinds was over her very first snippy comment. I had to check out your blog and I can tell that you would not have approved of that person making that comment. As Bloggers, we have no control other than to delete or screen comments. You may want to check out the June 7th Post and comment by jc on this blog http://saturdayfinds.blogspot.com/

We bloggers must stick together and support one another. I don't believe that jc had her own blog.
I will be back to enjoy more of your treasures whcih proves good things can come from bad. I would have never found you if not for /jc/.

Don't know what the deal is with those canisters, but I have two, with lids, which are different from each other ... I think anything goes if it fits. No sales for me for SO long with party preparations and a party this weekend but hoping to hit a few soon!
