Hi Everyone! First, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you that took the time to send emails, and leave comments for me on my blog - that really makes my day and puts a smile on my face! :) It is so nice to "talk" to others that share my love of vintage goodies!
Now I will share with you what I found today. I was thrilled that the weather was mild this morning and all the snow and ice has mostly melted. I only went to one Estate Sale - there were a couple others listed but I didn't have the time to drive 30+ miles, so unfortunately I did not go to the other ones. Of course now I am wondering what I might have missed.....but I was very happy with what I came home with! The first item is a set of little vintage pine cone Elves, still in their original box. Whoever owned them had taken very good care of them and had carefully wrapped each one in tissue paper. I unwrapped them because I could not wait to take a picture and show you. Aren't they adorable! It is a shame that I found them too late this year to put on the tree, but they will be ready and waiting for next Christmas.
A little army of pine cone fellas! They look so happy and cheerful.
Next there is a pretty little bird figurine, don't you just love those pastel colors.
A vintage honeycomb Turkey decoration that I am happy to add to the Thanksgiving collection. I have a hard time finding vintage Thanksgiving items, except for the Gurley Turkey candles..
And last but not least, a pretty greenish-aqua (is that even a color?) pottery vase. It is about 12" tall, and is in desperate need of a good cleaning. Maybe it will turn out 10 shades lighter when I am done cleaning it :)
Well, that's it for today! Hope you enjoyed looking at my finds. I plan to get an early start tomorrow to hit a few thrift stores, and whatever else I find in my travels....wishing everyone luck in their thrifty adventures!

I am so glad you visited me and became a follower. Believe me...I really appreciate hearing from someone new...Yay! I have just become a follower of your super darling blog. I think we love a lot of the same things...and many of the same blogs! =D
ReplyDeleteThe pine cone guys are great. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those pinecone pixies! I've never seen anything like that before. Too cute. I would have snatched up that bird as well -- I have somehow become a bird collector without realizing it, but now that I've started, I have to buy every single one I can find. You're lucky to have sales in your area this weekend...I just checked Craigslist and there's not a thing going on tomorrow. Booo!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Years ago, an art teacher told my class, it's better to use terms like "greenish-blue" since that is a better description while words like "turquoise" can mean different colors to different people. So I like your greenish-aqua choice! Very cool vase too.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Love the gorgeous vase, your pine cone guys adorable too. I'm a new follower, glad you found me. Your blog is sweet!
