Jackpot at the garage sale today

Ladies, I hit the jackpot at a garage sale I went to this morning. I pinched myself all the way to my car just to make sure it was really happening. Here are my goodies I scored, all for just $10! I thought it was a pretty good deal!

The spoon collection was $5.00 and it includes several unique pieces. One of them has a little windmill on top that actually spins.  The 2 frames with the beautiful girls inside were bought for the pretty little medalions. The fortune telling cards will be a unique item for a collage as will the Gerber Baby playing cards.  There is an old glass knob and a button  from 1963 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.  Also included, but not in the picture was a small cast iron skillet. And the 2 really great items as you can see are these awesome magazines.

A Good Housekeeping magazine dated February 1952 and

A Harper's Bazaar magazine dated September 1936!
See why I was pinching myself! I'm so excited!

I love the medallions of the girls. Not sure what I'll do with them though, but thought they would look pretty on some jewelry.

There are 36 cards that would add interest to a collage I think.


These are some pictures from the Harper's Bazaar mag. Have a great weekend my bloggy friends!

Wednesday of my vacation week

Well it's Wednesday of my vacation week and have I gotten my stuff ready for the garage sale yet? No! It has now been changed to a Saturday only sale as Friday will be the day that I can finally get things priced. Where does time go when you take a "home vacation" week? Tuesday and today (Wednesday) were spent at my son's tennis tournament. He did come in 4th place in District which is the best he has ever done. I am very proud of him! Tomorrow I am going with my oldest son and his son (my grandson :) ) to the zoo. That's where my vacation time has gone and now as I look back on it, I don't think I could have spent the week doing anything better!
