Yard Sales and Junk Stores

Friday Yard Sales or Feeding the Collector's Habit



Today was sort of slow for yard or estate sales around this sleepy Southern town. I did find a few interesting items. Some are to keep and some to sell. I stopped off at my favorite junk store and found the nice, crackley salt and pepper shakers. I have been into metal lately and picked up the little silver metal tree at a church yard sale. It will look nice with some tiny vintage ornaments. The dark metal pot with lid is from India and will be added to my collection of quadruple silver. The vintage juice glasses (5) are so cute and were only 25 cents apiece. Aren't they candlewick? I love my sweet, shabby lid tops and the plastic pink soap dish they are leaning against. I had one similar to this for girl scout camp in the 5o's. The small silver birdcage has a holder for a votive candle and may become shabby white and glittery for the holidays. The tiny hen is a salt shaker with cork and will go with my growing collection of chickens in my pine hutch. The little angel from the 50's will go in a Christmas scene on the chippy white shelf in the laundry room. I'll have to include a picture of that soon.To top the morning off I stopped by Burger King and got some French toast sticks and an iced cup of Mocha Joe. Aaahhh ........All is well with the world.
