Saturday Junk With Amy

Estate sale land was pretty dismal this weekend. I didn't even go out on Friday. Saturday Amy and I decided to road trip to a sale in Washington that some friends were having.  We were going to drive up and junk our way back. It was a good day.

I got that big old patio umbrella for $3.  It needs a lower part of the pole, but that is an easy fix.  It will join the other two vintage ones I have in my backyard.

This old baby stroller has that great green color and I will probably use it in my yard. The hat on the handle is bee keeper hat. The pixie planters are neat old plastic hanging planters that are MIP.

The pixie planters originally came in 6 colors. They were only pink left, but I was fine with that.

An old tin and ANOTHER CHILD'S RECORD!  This one will head to Etsy as it is a duplicate of one I have.

I have a collection of these old photo corners. The graphics are awesome. I love that one of the sets is in red rather than the traditional black. I also found an old globe to add to my collection.
A glass jar (headed to the studio) that is currently full of old cotton birds.  The skirt hem stick will be a good display piece.  Ceramic fish for my someday beach house.

The box is a plastic tiny jewelry box with a great green velvet interior.  I can always put old typewriter keys to use.
These fish shaped SNIPPY scissors are super great...plus they still work!

This little fellow will become a cupid in his next life after a visit to my studio.
 

It was a good day for deer.

It was a good day for littles.  The red silverware box will soon hold some glass garland.I love the original packaging on this find.  Nowadays we basically do the same thing with CDs to scare the birds away.

This was one of my favorite finds.  It was a whole baggie full of state park and tourist spot patches.  We used to collect these for Ben when we travelled and I would sew them on a certain blanket for him.  There are over 80 here (and they usually retail for $2-$6). There are lots of places we have been and never got a patch for here.

One lone darling Easter chick (with wire feet). You know old shelf liner must be pretty spectacular when it uses the name M'LADY!

It was a really good day.  I missed estate sale land, but junking yard sales and such out in the country was a good way to pass the day.  Plus we found good stuff!
Happy day!

So glad you and Amy had a great day! Looks like many fun finds too. Those state park and tourist site patches are really cool! What an exceptional bag of vintage goodies!

Geez....so behind on looking on your blog!
I need to take the time one day and just catch up on blogs. I do enjoy them :-)
I'm just speechless now when it comes to you finding mega tons of stuff!

Fun finds! I'm still unpacking, sorting, and cleaning my finds from 3 days on the world's longest yard sale!

Sales down here have really slowed down. I don't know if it's because of the heat or since we had such an early Summer, all the good sales happened earlier in the season. I've been to a couple in the last few weeks but nothing like usual.

Those deer are so sweet! I don't think I've seen any like those before. I am going to have to call you the Deer Whisperer :-)

I'm envious of all those travel patches! Squeal...they are awesome! I agree with Erica. I think you are the deer whisperer.

Hi Ethel; That little pink cupid angel that is in a couple of the photos is about 57 years old. I know because I have the identical one but in an aqua colour. I still have it, and my Mother told me it was a gift that I got as a baby and she hung it on my crib. Just thought you would like to know.
