On Saturday I ventured down the highway to a little community yard sale that I had gone to last year and came away with a few things so, hoping for something that I'd like, I went again.
I was rewarded - Fire King Jadeite - my first pieces!!
Four side plates and one dessert dish - $3 - a steal, for sure!!! There were a few mugs there as well, and also a couple of Pyrex delphite plates which I didn't need so left them for someone else to enjoy. I love these dishes, I've used them twice, they're just so pretty!!!
I walked around the tables a few times, second time round I spotted a bag of scarves, lucky me, one Vera in there. I bought this other one when I was in the US last week. I sure don't see Vera at the thrifts anymore like I used to, at one time I used to find them every time I hit the thrift, not now!!
I picked up this box full of poker chips for the game room, they're not plastic, so they have to be older, I'm going to put them in an old jar. It's too bad this box has tape right across the front, I know that's just going to rip the box to pieces if I try taking it off.
A couple of weeks ago I bought this little bag, now I'm wondering why, I think it was because it reminded me of a little change purse I used to have. We all buy things like that, don't we? It's cute though!
I was so pleased with the Jadeite - I knew it deserved a blog post!!!
We went to an auction again on Sunday, on the way there we spotted some blow molds... that's such a great Santa face, we have one but it's not nearly that big.
We didn't go with anything in mind, it was just an afternoon out, it's fun! There were more people there than the other week when we bought the bed - that was such a great deal. It started out and things were going too high for us, we didn't figure that any purchases would be made. We really wanted the sleigh bells but they went way too high, we didn't even bid!
A few weeks back we went to another auction and I bought the Fire King Tulip bowl - I said then that I wasn't collecting Fire King and I'm not but I bought another Fire King bowl on Sunday - I won the auction at $12 - when I was checking out the cashier told me that was a real deal, that one had sold another time for $35 - I think it was - I wouldn't have gone much higher though. I think it was a deal too!
It's the largest bowl in the set, just like the Tulip one - it's in perfect shape - I like a little apples and cherries! I'll say it again, I'm not collecting Fire King - this is going above the cupboards after Christmas - it's just a decorative piece for me.
For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you've already seen these pictures. If you have Instagram, we should follow each other here - it's a lot of fun!!
