My second stop was a Annual Rummage Sale at the First Baptist Church in Evans. I usually have pretty good luck at this sale but not today. Couldn't find a thing and witnessed some rudeness. Two women were sifting through some stuff on a table and the first woman had an item in her hand and laid it down for a second, the second woman swiftly picked it. The first woman said "Sorry, that's mine" and the second woman said "If you take your hand off of it then it's fair game". People never cease to amaze me.
My next stop was the winner of the day. It was kind of a living estate sale and kind of a moving sale. Once I entered the house I knew there was no need to go anywhere else after this (I pretty much blew my budget here). Lots of old books, so I picked up several. One was a 1964 edition of "Gone with the Wind". My birth year so I had to get it. I found a beautiful blue chenille bedspread. As I was digging around I saw something peeking out of a bag that looked like my kind of stuff - Vintage Baby Clothes. It was a huge bag and I paid $20 for the whole lot of it. Turned out to have 56 pieces of clothing, 20 blankets, 5 bonnets, 2 booties, 2 pair of shoes and 1 bib. Most of it is in excellent condition. I also picked up a old baby doll crib and cradle. Other finds at this sale include a old clock, cow creamer made in France, vintage sifter, old bucket, and some old ornaments.
As always there are more detailed photos on our Facebook page, you can find them here.
Update - I have laundered and pressed quite a few pieces of the vintage baby clothes if you want to take a sneak peek here.

I really love it when I hit a sale that has so much fun stuff. The chenille spread is beautiful. Those keys are wonderful. I'll be watching for the baby clothes post; I bet they are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all of your clean and pressed baby clothes, what a find. The clock caught my eye right away. All of your treasures are great.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Must be true that the 'early bird gets the worm'. I think you got the worm and the apple caboot! Love the chenille bedspread. Can't wait to see the baby clothing. Are they vintage? In my opinion, nothing is worth fighting over. You know it's just stuff. Some of it darn good stuff, but still not worth a battle.
ReplyDelete'Visited your FB page and love the trims you got the most -- and the chenille -- fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love those old keys. . .wouldn't they be fun to make a necklace or something with
ReplyDeleteLucky lady! I look forward to the post about the baby clothes! Vintage domestic life and old books, what could be better. Well maybe, fewer rude people?
