I went to one sale on Friday. It was advertised as having vintage toys and dolls. Since I craft with dolls, I decided to hit this one. This woman loved her dolls. I did well.
The step is a metal shelf in a fun shade of green. I have no idea what I will do with it. If my kids were little, it would work at the bathroom sink as a step up.
I always grab these little elves when I find them. They are great for crafting. The little fellow will become a cupid for Valentines day.I found ceramic elves.
There was a big bin of baby rattles and toys and I found these gems.
I was happy to find some fish for my someday beach house.
This little suitcase was just too darling not to get. Can you imagine carrying that as a child? This little gal reminded me of myself. I had red hair when I was younger and I do have freckles.
The woman had many, many squeaky toys. I came home with three.
There were lots of Storybook dolls and I have trouble resisting these gals. Dolls, dolls, dolls...for crafting.
The cutest little birdie container. Made in Japan.
A good start to my Friday. In and out in less than an hour and off to finish up errands. Hope you find some treasures this weekend too! Happy day.
It's all cute as heck, but I just cannot get over the idea of a topless bride squeak toy! Who thought of that??? And why is it so darn cute? Now I need one. Dang it.
Your Someday Beach House is getting full. You might need a someday Ranch to start collecting for....:D
