My dry spell for finding Vera's finally is over, for now, anyway, I found six scarves on a thrift shop table, all in a jumble with winter hats, scarves, mitts, I was happy to find one, I just kept digging and ended up with the six, it was my lucky day for sure.. I bet they all belonged to the same lady. I also found quite a few for resale that day, but that would just make too many scarves on this post and it might be just a bit boring for some people so I'll switch to some little Christmas items I found.

Another Ladybug |

A colorful one |

These two both have the ladybug, the scarves are the same pattern but different colors, they're sheer scarves |

Sheer Carol had doubles, so she sent this beauty on to me - thank you! |

I found these at a junk thrift shop - I didn't notice until I got home that half of his ear was missing - he was such a nice size but not much good with a broken ear!. The plastic Santa still has the tag on, it was made in Hong Kong. The corsage is in the original box - also made in Hong Kong. |

Have you ever seen a stocking like this? It's vinyl, sort of ugly, actually - I think I'll be listing it and probably some of the other items, as well. It's in perfect shape. |

I don't want to wash this as I know it will really fade, it's so bright - and still has the tag on it, it was made in Canada. Notice on the 4th day, it has colley birds, not calling birds as we normally hear - a colley bird is a type of blackbird |

I'm undecided on this little guy - sometimes he's cute, sometimes, he's not. He's a Josef Original, the tag is still on the bottom. What do you think of him?Today I'm linking up with Thriftasaurus, Junkin Joe, and The Nifty Thrifty - check them out... And, Apron Thrift Girl is back.... |
Beautiful scarves! Love the little mouse in the last photo. I am always happy to find vintage Christmas items!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
i love the josef mouse! i have a few of the deer by him, they are so cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarves – I now look for Vera scarves now when I'm out since seeing them on your blog. What does the “ladybug” represent?
ReplyDeleteI have a suggestion for your little deer with the broken ear – try to fit him with a mini Santa-hat to cover it! I'm sure you can find or make him one and no one will be the wiser.
I remember the old Christmas corsages, but the ones I remember were way more colourful – I can’t believe they’re still around!
And what’s up with that stocking? Very strange shape.

I love Vera scarves. Great designs and I hardly ever find two of the same. Great finds.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. You really did hit the jackpot with those Vera scarves.
ReplyDeleteI think the little mouse is cute! I like the plastic santa, you can but similar ones at the dollar store now, but theyre not as cute as the vintage ones! Lovely veras!
ReplyDeleteI think I would list that stocking as a cankle stocking! lol
ReplyDeleteI love that the deer is missing his ear. As if she could get any cuter, you feel bad for her too! :)

I'm not a fan of most Vera designs but that yellow and black one is amazing. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteMake a glittery top hat for that deer! or a fluffy little santa hat!!! He can be saved!
ReplyDeleteWow...a lot of goodness here and I love the little mouse...I think you should keep him and give him a nice home : ) Thanks for sharing ...hugs...
