We had a lot of fun at garage sales this week! We went to two side-by-side sales where they were selling a lot of vintage goodies and antiques. One of the ladies invited us to go through her house and her old stone garage, too. She had been a dealer and was ready to clear out and we were ready to buy for our upcoming show at Junk Bonanza. We were the first people she had invited in, so we truly felt like we were on the show "American Pickers"! I love this great retro director's chair...we had already found four matching camp stools...
Look at this great box of 25 vintage license plates...
and these great old jacks! I plan to use these in a junk project...
We found a lot of primitive items- lots of vintage boxes, baskets, etc. This picnic basket has a wonderful old patina~ it looks great with the old wheels...
and this old cheese box, egg carton holder, and picket fence pieces...
I especially loved these old grates...
We found lots of little goodies in the house...
I always love to find vintage light reflectors...
This find is one I'm keeping- I love dogs and this is "so me"... it's whimsical and I love the title too...
These are just some of the finds this week...it was the most FUN ever~ we filled up the back of a pickup truck! We even found a galvanized barn cupola with weathervane~ it's at my daughter's house, so I'll get a picture for you later... Hope you had fun at sales and thrifting this week, too!
I'm linking up with Debbiedoos Garage Salen Partay
Until next time...

Oh my goodness, the reflectors, the grates, the jacks, the sign... You are going to have an awesome show...It would be hard to part with many of these! Lezlee
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I love your vintage treasures. I'm so happy for you that you got to be a real picker at this sale! What a thrill. Love those tin reflectors, especially the silvery ones. I'll keep an eye on your Etsy shop just in case you list 'em there. Your show will be a huge success! ~ Angela
ReplyDeleteHa pie face tin so cute....and those grills...love them. You really find so many good things each week...kinda puts my little scores to shame:) But this is the entire fun of it for me...I love to see this stuff. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLinda, what great finds as always! I love that little Pie Face book and I can understand why you would want to keep it for yourself! And you know how I feel about old license plates! I can't wait to see what you do with those!

What great stuff. I love the grates and that dog sign is great.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteWow! You really hit the jackpot! Sounds like you had lots of fun! My very favorite are the grates. You can do so many neat things, too. I am a huge dog lover, too, so of course I really love the sign! :)
GREAT junk! I am hoping to get to Junk Bonanza this year. I've been many years but missed it last fall. If you are loading up already, your booth is sure to be jam-packed!

Great finds LInda! I really like the grates, and those vintage light reflectors look like something out of a Pottery Barn Magazine! I wish I lived closer so I could attend the Junk Bonanza!

Those grates are really neat are you going to keep any to hang or prop against a wall. Nice round box too, love that.
ReplyDeleteLove all your finds! The dog cover is great, as are the grates! My dream is to someday find those old light reflectors--I've never had the pleasure!

ReplyDeleteFinally, some one posts about their yard sale finds! Judging from the pictures, you were an American Picker! Great deals!
ReplyDeleteI bet that was fun going through everything. You found lots of wonderful stuff. I love the grates...the book is also a fab find and glad you are keeping it.
ReplyDeleteOh that egg crate is amazing! I had a one with a top but as I changed my decor to more vintage and it was hard to display I got rid of it several years ago! You got really great treasures! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHugs,Lisa

Wowie, do I love those old grates!!! They would be so perfect as wall art. And that precious little Cairn terrier with the "pie face" is so fun. He looks just like our Dickens! Thanks so much for visiting me today.
