I couldn't resist this cute figurine! I found it at a Tag Sale hosted by the local Historical Society :D. It makes me smile.
I had some moments of severe temptation here. I really have been kind of wanting a strawberry shortcake doll, but hadn't gotten around to looking for one. They were $18 here, and I didn't know if that was a good price or not. I did know I didn't really need to spend $18 right now. So no doll for me. Someday tho!! The little ones in the case were tempting too, but I don't think they were being sold individually (I don't even know who was running this stall - unlike most stalls no one rushed over to talk to us!). I had at least a couple of those little figures tho. And maybe that thermos too? It's hard to remember! I might *still* have one of those figures, i can't recall if I hung onto it or not.
Once she has stripped and refinished these tag sale finds they will become a handsome set for her cottage.
This year, I'm going to log 365 of my family heirlooms and thrifted finds. All items will be considered vintage by the 20-year standard. You can find all of the entries in the category something old on my blog or in the photo set here on Flickr.
Today's photo is wooden fruit + beer crates.

Found you at the bottom,
Of a lonely box for sale
I had no choice but to give you Love
So I took you home with me
And gave you Life
But more importantly,
A Purpose
I named you High King
And gave you a throne
A life filled with dust became
A life in the palace of my imagination.
I actually named it "High King Peter" because the typewriter is a 1959 Royal Dart and i had to name it accordingly. And that name was the first to pop into my head since the The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite book series.
My favorite color of Pyrex in a print I haven't seen before. I love the candle warmer underneath. This is in incredible never-used condition! The wicks on the candles are still white. I'm not going to lie, this one was a splurge.

This is a size 7 slip for formal wear long dresses. Like the old horse hair slips of the day, the crinoline under the nylon over skirt provides the support needed for long dresses in which a desired volume supports the fabric. Most commonly used for bridal gowns or other formal gowns.
This was really cool and I'd love to have it, but it was listed at $350. Even with some bargaining, still likely to be too expensive for me. It hangs on the wall tho. Kind of nifty!
I spotted this at a community flea market in Deep River, Connecticut last weekend. I have little reason to doubt its legitimacy, but I simply couldn't afford the $450 asking price.
most people were real penny pinching stinges at our tagsale, where the entire contents of our house that accumlated over thirty years were sold off. we were only asking up to five dollars for everything, most of the things just a dollar. people were still trying to haggle, and it got nasty at a few turns. although the guy who bought my dad's boots loved them and that made up for all the poopheads.
and...I went back upstate to deal with my speeding ticket. turns out the chumpzilla who entrapped me is going to get a spanking by his superiors when he gets back in to work.
I was wondering why the court date would be on a saturday evening, and tried calling to confirm but nobody answered. so I went up there, a street fair was happening, and the town hall was locked. I peeped into the tourism shack and a guy with a huge red hook button was walking out so I asked him if I was in the right place. he shook my hand and told me he was the town judge, and had I really come all this way for the ticket. I said I was pleading not guilty and that I could come back when court was in session, but his wife started oohing and aahing, so he brought me round to the police shack behind the tourism shack to settle the matter on the spot.
about nine cops in road warrior bike outfits were there, but not mine...he was the only cop in red hook off duty. and soon other people began piling in there because he put the wrong date on all FIFTY tickets he wrote that day. since he wouldn't come in, we all got our tickets dismissed one by one.
