I Had A Dream

Have you ever had that dream that you find a garage sale crammed full of vintage stuff and all priced dirt cheap? Well I have and Friday it may have came true. I saw an ad on Craigslist for an "all vintage" garage sale. I was there when she opened the doors
Here's my haul. Jealous much? Ha! 
She is a seller, actually has a booth downtown for First Fridays. But she was moving and her husband told her she had to clear out some of her stuff so they could show their house. Well alrighty then, let me help you out!
Tablecloths and teatowels (.50-2.00 each)

I love this cake carrier with retro beach graphics.
Small amount of vintage Christmas

Games, labels, old ledger

Pyrex, set of 6 mugs (never used in original box) and Missouri glass

That wedding cake is a music box, clown rattle, chalk for my collection and sweet old baby planter with a bluebird.

I thought these were interesting, old paper chandeliers. 
Wouldn't they be fun at a backyard party? Or for New Years? Or strung up in my house to drive my kitties crazy? 

Oh deer, look at the bookends :) cherry box, little orange wax cups and old patterns. Anyone wanna make me a circle skirt? 
This cute turquoise childs rolltop desk and an old croquet set. 
So ya, I'd call that a SCORE! And get this, it was day two! I can't even think about all I missed on day one :( 
Lots for the booth, some for eBay and some to keep. 
I stopped at my moms house later that day. She had some stuff for me to put in the booth. She pulled out this red thing and I was curious what it was

A very old cloth Swiss flag! Uh, hell no that's not going to the booth!! I fell hard so home it came with me. Thanks mom! What other awesome treasures are you hiding? 
So a good weekend. I'm leaving on Wednesday to visit my sister in Bremerton Washington and I'm getting excited! Have a lot of fun things planned. I'm hoping it doesn't rain every day. You never know in Washington. Have a great week and pics to come of the beautiful Pacific Northwest!

  1. That is nonsense about is always raining in Oregon and Washington. It does rain, but I think it doesn't rain as much as people think it does. It is supposed to rain tomorrow but then almost 70 on Thursday. No complaints from me. Enjoy the trip. Good scores for your booth and beyond....

  2. Holy smokes! What a sale! I think I would have bought every single thing you did! I had two sets of tiddly winks in my booth and they both sold this weekend. Weird! And I sold a cash ledger just like the one you bought too. Weirder! You have a fun trip - be safe!!!! Shara

  4. Your mom sounds cool. That little desk is to die for! Can't believe you found something that awesome on the second day of a sale. The cake carrier is too groovy. Nice, nice stuff. It should go well in your booth. Have a good trip. Travel safely and baby that knee!
