I hit a mediocre sale on Friday and swung by one of my favorite antique shops. I found a couple of things. My favorite find from my little antique shop was this old shuttle loop set. It can be played indoors and is similar to badminton. I don't think the set has ever been used.
It is from the Breck's bulb company which I guess also sold useful gifts. Dated 1956.
I bought it because of this great wire ring stand that you put together. It was intended to have the shuttle fly back and forth through it, but I think it will work well for display. I really don't want my kids playing shuttle loop in my house.
Saturday I woke up and got into line at an estate sale and hour before it opened. I was number 2 to get in the door. I didn't have super high hopes, but the sale was much better than I thought it would be.
Some vintage floral sheeting, old floral napkins, a floral towel and a fun floral pillow. FLORAL!
I was the first person in the Christmas area. I an always happy to find vintage gift tags. I did not even spot the Putz house until my second round through this area.
Was funny to find a chalkware chick after I found a bunch of them last week. The egg cup I do not have and the snowman will be crafted with. I also found some holiday hankies including one for St. Patty's Day. (a holiday I don't often find them for)
Western Germany angels and pinecone spun head elves. 
One of my favorite finds was this old shelf edging. I did not realize how many patterns there were until I got home and opened the baggies.
I also scored on some vintage wrapping paper. Some of it I believe is older from the 1940s.
One of the most unusual patterns I found was this old Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
It still has the original price tag for 10 cents from Meier and Frank.
A good weekend in estate sale land! Hope you got lucky too!
Well done! That shelf edging is FABULOUS! Chris just finished painting a hutch that I'll use for extra storage at the cottage. After this post, I'm now on the hunt for shelf edging.

The shelf edging and the wrapping paper are great. Glad you found some goodies. You always seem to find something good. Happy weekend!

The shuttle loop is for flying saucers! You got points for getting the saucer in the loop area! We used it in the backyard and enjoyed it tremendously!
I even have a County Park here in Arlington with the saucer obstacle course!

Love that shelf edging! I would be a shelf edging fool and put in on everything! Oh, I can think of sooo many possibilites for that big hoop! Im sure you will too! You'll have to show us how you use it.

I swear. You have a nose for the good estate sales! The shelf paper is amazing. Which makes the wrapping paper super amazing! Great finds.

Can't wait to see what you are going to do with that shuttle hoop loop. I agree that it's a bad idea to let the kids play with it in the house. I'm assuming they wouldn't try?
Loving all that shelf paper. It must be pretty rare around here because I have never seen it. I really want to find some so I may have to resort to online. Either that or rob your stash when you aren't looking :-)

Loving your shelf edging -- those graphics! A very close second is the Minnie/Mickey gift wrap. Seems like that might be a very collectible little gem you found. :)

Love that chalkware, the chick in this post and the group in the other post. Did they make chalkware for other holidays? I may have seen a Santa years ago....

LOVE the Disney paper! What a fab find Laurie!!!
And that game loop is wonderful - reminds me of a birdcage stand!

Oh that shelf edging is to die for!
WIth all the treasure-hunting you do, including your road trips, I sometimes wonder if there will ever be a day that you will think it's all too much stuff....and then I wake up and come to my senses....
Some day soon, we need to meet for coffee at Monticello's or something. I have a small stash of Magpie-esque vintage treasures that I brought home, but never did anything with. They deserve to be with you, rather than be neglected by me....:)

I once read that Disney starting collecting many of the old Mickey items that were made since his inception. Apparently, when they started licensing his image they didn't always get the item and now they are trying to collect them all. That wrapping paper is wonderful. You have the best of luck when shopping.

Fun finds! I'm really starting to get into the vintage floral sheets/pillow cases myself! I have been buying them for a friend for some projects... and now I really want to start keeping them!

That's always a nice surprise. I just love that shelf edging. I have some laying around that I should use. That wrapping paper is adorable! Haven[t been able to get out much but I know I can always rely on your blog, Pinterest or IG to get my fix through you :-)
Have a wonderful day. Hotter than heck down here for this week!!
