Let's Play House
The last few weeks of yard 'sailing' turned up some unbelievable vintage finds. I have wanted to share them so much in a nice photo but I am short on time and good lighting. The furniture is not a garish orange but a deep lovely red.
Towards the end of yard sale season we happened upon an unadvertised sale. The seller said she was trying to get rid of stuff that had not sold from earlier sales. On the floor in a shopping bag I found this furniture. I asked, "How much is this?". I did not say OH MY GAWD how much is this to die for unbelievable, cute, awesome vintage furniture. She said, "fifteen dollars." I set the bag up on a table and started pulling things out to see if I wanted to pay fifteen dollars. And OMG my heart started pounding, I felt faint, I was going into an altered state. She said, "I think there is some old stuff in there." I didn't look at it all and I said, "Will you take ten?" and she said yes. When we got home I took each piece out and kept saying aloud to anyone in the universe who could tune in on my excitement, "OMG this is so cute" I said this and more 57 times as I ooohhhed and awwwed over the 57 pieces in the bag. And there was some Barbie furniture and stuff TOO. There is a little sewing machine cabinet, the top lifts up, the drawers pull out and the treadle moves but the sewing machine was missing....If you are close by "come play house." (all the pieces are not in this photo)
