I hit two sales on Friday and two sales on Saturday. It was a good weekend for junk.
A ceramic head choir boy, a ceramic deer, ceramic owl and a sweet doll. A pair of deer antlers.
I think she will head to the studio for a little Magpie Ethel touch. 
At the estate sale my friend Tom had this box in his arms. He was a total sweetie and passed it off to me since he knows I collect vintage swim caps. Love the graphics on this one.
Even that little logo on the left with the fish jumping out of the water charms me so.
A couple of flags and an old Christmas candy box.
A whole bunch of white honeycomb bells (which will join and insane amount I already have) and a fun handmade netting heart. 
100 tiny dolls. Evidently these were advertised as "Buy 100 dolls" in the back of magazines and such. One of my IG followers said she ordered them when she was a kid and was disappointed when they came with the tiny size (she was expecting 100 good sized dolls).
A teeny bit of Christmas and some darling ceramic figures.
Red anagram letters and a few red salt and pepper shakers.
I am not a drinker, so these shot glasses will be headed to Plucky Maidens junk fest. I will be a vendor there in a couple of weeks.
This deer sampler will be headed to Plucky Maidens as well.
I may have lost my Plucky mind when I picked up this kitschy lamp. Handmade and funky...so headed to Plucky as well.
One of the sales that I hit this weekend was on Friday night. I was NUMBER one to get into that sale. The woman was a hoarder and had an insane amount of picture frames. She also had some fun shelves.
Another vintage shoe box for my collection (28 now). I also could not pass up the vintage shoe polish..those boxes have the cutest graphics on them. 
Chenille loops for potholder crafting. I remember making these as a kid with a special loom. These two colors are super...I would even just pop them in a jar just for that pop of vintage awesome color. 
This is the first foil Easter basket I have ever found. The Easter grass was from a different sale. I asked the woman how much the grass was and she gave it to me. Evidently she does not know the virtues of vintage Easter grass.
At the Saturday estate sale I found a bunch of old wrapping paper scraps. The woman used to make small gift bags from the scraps. There were some gems. 
One of my favorite finds. Vintage concrete mushrooms and frogs. $10 for the mushroom and $5 for the pair of frogs. (mushroom in front and two bright green frogs. The other mushrooms and frogs have been collected from other sales.)
A pretty good weekend in estate sale land. I hope you found some treasures too.

Here is a link to my blog where I bought the 100 dolls along with the original ad for them. I wish you could still get trinkets like that in the back of magazines.
I do wonder what "Bike" Christmas candies looked like!

I would say you had a productive weekend! That lamp is a hoot - could you tell if/where it had hung in the house? It's...unique!

Gotta love that mushroom! Those 100 dolls were a disappointment but I bet you can do something with them.

That Easter basket is so unique! I have never seen anagrams in red but digging that color. Glad your friend knew you well and gave up that awesome cap box. Looks like you did great, as always!

I love the wrapping paper! Another amazing weekend of finds for you! Not too many sales in my area yet, but I think there will be more now that Easter is over.

I've never heard of a sale starting in the evening! How late did it go on for? I can't believe I'm saying this but that sounds like the perfect way to spend a Friday night!
Love the wrapping paper and pot holder kits. I would totally put those in a jar too!
Have an awesome week....the Norah countdown is on!

What excellent finds. You should post about all your concrete animals (and plants) in your garden! :)

Those tiny dolls were sold in comic books too. There was also a set of 100 soldiers that was advertised. Love that lamp! Concrete figures seem to be your theme this Spring! Great finds!

This is my first time to comment. I love your blog and enjoy seeing your estate finds. I just ran across a doll similar to the one you just posted picture of. Look up Herman Pecker Pose dolls. I was surprised at their value. Just wanted to share the info with you since you share and provide so much enjoyment to others with all your collecting talents.
Regards

I always seem to notice the Boyd Coffee logo ... it is still a thriving business here in Portland .. even featured at our airport. I used to babysit the 3 Boyd kids in the 1950's when I was in high school. Mom

Loved learning about the "100 dolls"! Just the other day I was flipping through an old comic book and saw a similar ad for a treasure chest full of soldiers and thought to myself that it was surely a very tiny treasure chest.

Your concrete finds are the best! And I LOVE the Easter Basket. I think there's one behind glass at my favorite antique store.
Fun stuff!

You can just find the neatest things. Love the deer picture BECAUSE I have one just like it. My mom stitched it probably in the 50's and had it framed.
Good stuff!!!

My in-laws used to make lamps like that when they were RV camping. The group they belonged to would buy the pots at a Walmart near the campground. Then they drilled holes for the "decorative" designs and filled the holes with plastic beads (prob from Walmart too.) I think they all used them for outdoor lighting outside the RVs.The extras were given as gifts....
