A Few Treasures...

I haven't had time to clean up everything I bought at thrift or the estate sales last weekend with packing for HSN and the holiday, but I hope to get to it today! I can already tell I overbought on afghans- they were so cheap ($1-$3) and so pretty I didn't realize how many I bought! We are having a garage sale tomorrow in hopes of getting rid of some of the old furniture that is clogging the garage and the hallway. I'll basically pay someone to haul it away at this point! 

I did get this magazine rack at thrift- $2.50 (1/2 off) to hold our vintage magazines which I can't seem to find. We do subscribe to "Atomic Ranch" and if you are at all interested in vintage modern I highly recommend it!


 The oil and vinegar set was part of a larger set I bought at the estate sale last weekend. It has a nice home on my Pyrex shelf.
   
 

I also got the cream and sugar bowls as well as the Daisy casserole dish with matching lid.
  
 
Now this I don't know what to do with! I got this "lazy Susan" at the SA a couple of years ago and it has been on top of my refrigerator ever since. Now it looks perfect in the center of our table, but I have no idea what to put in it! My grandmother had a lazy Susan and it was packed full of stuff...but I don't know...salt and pepper shakers, sugar maybe??? It looks empty sitting there but anything I put in it looks weird too. It's California pottery and numbered on the bottom. I think I got it for around $12.00 on sale. 

 

We are going to hit the storage units, yes I said "units" and see if we can easily pull out stuff for the sale. I'm not cleaning it out in this weather. When it gets cooler we will have another sale. I plan on clearing a lot of stuff before our move! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend! Hopefully, after we get the garage sale set up I will have time to dig out the rest of my vintage finds!
