I posted earlier about our Peachtree 23 yard sale trip, you can read all about it here and see the fabulous antique writing desk I scored (I love the Desk - it has an inkwell!).
The desk was a large purchase for me but I also picked up a bunch of small treasures. Here are some of the things I brought home (warning lots of pic's):
Old Pictures
The fashion drew me to this one. The girl in the hat looks beautiful and this must be a three generation photo (too bad the dog was not looking at the camera)!
Again the Fashion, I love the outfit the girl in the center is wearing!
This one was just adorable!
And this one reminds me of my childhood, my grandparents had a chicken yard and we used to help feed the chickens.
Old Children's Books
Other Odds and Ends
These will be great to use for displays when I start my Christmas Decorating
These are going straight to my sewing room!
Always have to bring home some Jewels
Some Salt & Peppy's
I got these for my boys (they both play guitar)
Old Rusty Lock
I don't know about this one, he was just so darn cute!
Loved these prints
I have a bunch of felt hats, so who knows!
Old Windows
Mom's Treasure
Mom did buy one thing that I am green with envy over, it's a very old boiler (maybe used in canning). I think she had the find of the day!
Next week we are planning on going to a collector's sale, the collector was featured on American Picker's in 2010. Here is a article that was in the local paper this week.
All of these are fun finds - love the photos and the books. Your mother's boiler is wonderful. I am looking forward to the collector's sale - hope there is some little thing about North Augusta that is affordable.
ReplyDeleteLove the desk you found! It is a beauty! You also found some really fun smalls. Love the old books and photos! I've never been on that sale but have done the Worlds Longest Yard Sale a few times.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet Humpty Dumpty!!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine there will be some characters at the estate sale, have fun!!
Hi, Your finds are wonderful. I love the B&W pics. The boiler is a great score. I went to the sale with Donna from the above comment. I just put up a post too. I think the Augusta Concrete sale may be out of my league too. olive
ReplyDeleteI love old things and old photos so I loved this post thank you for giving me a lift this morning
ReplyDeleteThose photos are so cool! The outfits totally make them unique. Everyone looked so dapper and fancy back in the day. Sometimes I think we should go back to that, then other times I'm happy for elastic waist bands!
ReplyDeleteFun finds. Love the copper boiler. The collectors sale will surely be a fun one. I'm sure you are looking forward to that one.
