These make me happy. Silly but practical glass jars. My little job on Saturday mornings. Garage sale shopping; finding deals for everyday necessities, scratching the collecting itch, and rescuing the timeless artifacts of my childhood and the pre-plastic era.
Today's finds:
* one very adorable whimsical glass elephant jar with original tin cap: .50 cents
{it so turns out that it was made in the 1950's and is being sold on eBay for $50.} It actually has a slot in the cap that makes the jar turn into a penny bank. Love it! That just makes me want to save my pennies.
*a pair of Ugg look alikes for Meag & Addie to fight over {Peter likes them too}: $2
*6 or 7 embroidery hoops of all sizes: $2
*8 light green linen napkins in perfect condition. Classy. Can't wait to use them for Christmas or something girly: $1
*a small Longaberger basket -collector's edition {i love it when people don't know what Longaberger is so i can steal it, i mean buy it cheap from them}don't expect this to happen often: .50 cents
Last week's find was a nice buttermilk yellow oval Fiesta platter, flawless for $1. Now, that was a rescue. What would have happened to that sweet platter if I hadn't found it? It hurts just thinking about it. I used it this week when me and the girls made double battered buttermilk/breadcrumb fried zucchini from our garden. Yum. I love that platter.
I love Saturday mornings. See you out there.
