It Was a Great Week!

My post from yesterday would have been a little picture heavy if I had also included all the goodies I found, it was a really good week, mostly because I got out of town...

I have been wanting a Salton Hotray for a while - I'm glad I didn't buy any of the others I saw, this one is in the original box, has all the paperwork, still has the "tested" sticker on it - so, it never was used!  It's going to come in so handy!!

I'm trying not to buy Cinderella bowls, but 75 cents for a 441 Snowflake, what could I do..

I gave my Forest Fancies set to Darcy, minus this  442, price paid - $1 - now he'll have the whole set of bowls..

024 round yellow casserole, I paid $10 for it and the three glasses

They just don't make cute glasses like this anymore...

Only one of these

This morning my husband and I went to an estate sale, we just don't have estate sales around here like you lucky people in the US - but this one was as close as you could get - at least you got to wander through the house.  I was at an advertised "estate sale" yesterday and it was just a yard sale in a garage, no good!!

We've been looking for a radio for the kitchen for a while, they just don't make them like this anymore either, this one is in perfect shape, it works and it was only $5

I've been wanting a train case ever since I bought one for Carla last year.  It took me a year but finally, I have one.  I think these letters must be the owners initials, I don't know if they needed those on there as it looks like it was never used.

The tray sits on the top.  It's a Samsonite and  it cost $5.    That is me in the mirror!

Another case for $5. 

The inside sticker says - Hand Made by Morton Leather Products, London, England.  It's just a little bit bright inside but who cares......

I have been so lucky this past week with some great finds and great deals, I think I'm quite satisfied, except, no Vera scarves...

This Week in Thrifting

Forest Fancies Bake Serve Store - I had the largest one but picked up the two smaller ones - now I have a set!

Shenandoah 401, 402, and 403

This is going to be cute for storing something!

Don't get too excited - these are not original Jadeite, I know this because one had a bar code sticker on the bottom.  I don't care - they're pretty nice.

Old magazines and a Better Homes and Gardens book.

A book for Holly

Who doesn't love Charlie Brown?  First time in paperback, original price - 60 cents.
And, how much did I pay for all those goodies shown above?  $12.

At another shop I paid $1 for these Glasbake  Mugs - the color on them is just about perfect!

My friend has one of these owl planters, actually, I think it might be the very same one.  I've wanted one ever since I spotted it.  Last summer I found one but only the top part, I bought it because I never thought I'd ever find one.   I did and this one is in mint condition - but I was almost too stupid to buy it - the price was $5,  which I thought was high, I left the store but came to my senses within half an hour.   Even my husband said it was a good price - I'm glad I went back!!

I went to about ten yard sales today and this is all I came home with, well, actually they were in  a box with other Christmas ornaments but they are pretty disgusting, one guy's neck is kind of wobbly, but I think he's fixable.  That's 25 cents spent today at yard sales, last week, 50 cents spent - not going to break the bank at this rate...
