Garage sales have been a little slow around here right now, but I stopped in at a thrift store this week, and found some fun goodies! Look at these great chippy wooden croquet balls! They are in my Itsy Bits And Pieces etsy shop now, if you are looking for some! The sticks will be fun for projects, too!
I also found an old whisk broom...
and some vintage hangers.
Game pieces are never passed by...
and this huge jar is going to be used for storage in my studio!
Have you had any fun finds this week?
Until next time...
Croquet stuff. You're after my heart!
ReplyDeleteLove the croquet balls! Great finds all around. I found a couple of cute things this week that i'll share soon! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteNow that's my kind of thrift store! Great finds!
ReplyDeleteSo many memories flooding back when I see those croquet balls! Fun finds!
ReplyDeleteOh- I love all your finds. I love playing croquet with the kids in the summer-which reminds me I have to go drag our set out- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThose are some fun finds Linda. I have been itching to go to some garage sales lately but they all seem to be ones with tons of baby clothes and junk (not the good kind of junk). Hoping to hit some good ones this weekend.

Those croquet balls are beautiful, I use to play that when I was a kid :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, Linda- here they did nor really start yet!

The croquet balls are a splendid find. I want a complete set and keep finding partial sets at estate sales. I found a wonderful chandelier recently.
ReplyDeleteI haven't lucky junking lately. Hoping that will improve.

Meant to say I haven't BEEN lucky.

Nice finds! I sure haven't been able to find any good garage sales this spring.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Linda. I went to a garage sale Friday and found a white soup turene that I've been wanting. I paid $2 for it.
ReplyDeleteLinda, That's nice finds at the thrift store. Love those old games pieces. Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteI just landed on your Blog and feel like I am home. Love the vintage book header and am having fun reading about your finds. Viva La Vintage!
ReplyDeleteOooo, that's some good junk! So jealous.....haven't had much time for treasure hunting lately, the little I've gotten in has not been so fruitful.
ReplyDeleteSusanne.
Croquet sets just say summer to me. The wood balls would look great in a bowl on a coffee table. I'm sure they won't last long at all!
ReplyDeleteLove the croquet set, Linda! What a fun find:) I think the hangers are my favorite, love 'em! I went thrifting the other day, and found a bunch of "gaudy gold" Homco frames, and some neat vintage candle sconces. I've already painted them Heirloom White, and will distress them tomorrow! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou found alot of good things. Those croquet balls would look cute corralled together in a wooden bowl on a coffee table.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the weekend brings some good treasure hunting. Those colorful croquet balls are wonderful. I had some a long time ago and kept them in a silver bowl. Love all your found treasures!
ReplyDeleteLove the big glass jar,
ReplyDeleteI'm always on the lookout for one,
so useful.
I haven't had any fun finds...
ReplyDeletebut I have loved seeing yours :)

hi Linda! I haven't been to many sales yet this season, but lucky you... those are some fun finds! I love your library cards too, i do remember signing my name, how sweet are those? Happy Thursday! t.xoox
ReplyDeleteCroquet balls I can never say no to. I like them in wood bowls, jars, and just about anywhere in anything.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Linda! I love the worn old croquet balls. Enjoy your day, Gail
ReplyDeleteLove the croquet balls! I need to have a sale of my own. I'm just waiting for the weather to cooperate :)
ReplyDeleteGood stuff! I love my old croquet props. I have sticks just like those. But I have a boat load of stuff. But they're so summery and cheery! Haha!
ReplyDeleteoooh! love the croquet balls, Linda!! I'm with you, the game pieces are always a good find.
ReplyDeleteMy best find this week was a bunch of peonies from Trader Joe's!

Great finds! I looked at an old croquet set in the antique shop this week but it cost a small fortune. I consoled myself by buying another old brownie camera but this one had the flash attachment which was a happy bonus.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun finds! Love.. love the old library cards in the previous post.The sales here haven't been that exciting! Oh well, at least you found some balls!! LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :)

I actually ventured to
ReplyDeleteLake & Lyndale to a
vintage clothing store
and scored some things
for my husband to wear
to a Downton Abbey party
that we are invited to!
I also hit GW a couple of
times with my mama, who
scours the racks for wool
sweaters that can be felted
and used to make purses
and pillows. She scored
big time here in MN, this
week!
Have a great weekend,
sweet friend!
