Peach Tree 23 Yard Sale

Mom and I started out early yesterday to attend the Peach Tree 23 Yard Sale through SC. I think this is like the 5th or 6th time that we have attended. We usually go on Saturday but since I was off this past week we decided to go on Friday. The good thing about going on Friday is that I didn't think the traffic was as bad but the bad thing about going on Friday was that I didn't think as many people were set up. However, we still found some really great stuff.

I love this little doll, marked Germany. She even has a full wardrobe. I still need to do a little research on her but think I got her at a great price. She will be going to my Etsy shop soon.

I love this little Powder Puff Wand, there were two but I only bought one. After researching I now wish I would have bought them both. It belonged to the lady's mother that I bought it from. From the 1920's or 30's. This will be going to our Etsy shop soon.

What a steal these cocktail napkins were. They are Madeira cocktail napkins and in new unused condition. Aren't those frogs so cute! Also found some old Rooster Cocktail Napkins. Coming to our  Etsy Shop soon.

A few vintage Christmas rescues. The Bank is in poor condition but for 25 cents I thought  he should come home with me. The Christmas Carol/Coloring Book is in perfect condition. These will go in my vintage Christmas collection.

I collect these Bailey's Cups, was happy to find another to add to the collection.

Lovely Sterling Puffed Heart Necklace.

And a few other odds and ends. An old Bicycle License Plate from Augusta (yes I will keep this), a Ginger Doll Dress, a lovely old frame and some book marks.

We really had a great time. If you live in the area I would recommend you try out the Peach Tree 23, I always find great stuff! 

Hope you are having a great weekend!!

Estate Sale - Henry Street

Well Mom and I seem to be on a roll, another great estate sale this weekend. I was really excited to get to step inside this fabulous old house and poke around.

It was certainly one of the most crowded sales I have been to in a while. People everywhere! We got there about 25 minutes early but sill were way back in line. I think we were there for two and a half hours total between the waiting, digging and standing in line to pay (that was the worst part!).

Anyway, here is what I brought home:

The Red Cross Nurse Picture is just gorgeous, not sure if I will be able to let go of her, she may end up on my wall. She is illustrated by Alberto Vargas, who I think was better known for his pin ups.

I also found a few silhouettes, I love the Nurse one. 

And lots of other miscellaneous odds and ends, Art Deco Tray, 1930's First Communion Certificate,

dresser jar, feather duster, quilted Red Cross pillow, spice holder, Turkey planter, Catholic candle holders, sweet baby diaper shirt and an old suit case!

We were planning on going to another sale after this one but we were both worn out after we finally checked out and got our junk loaded in the car. It was almost 80 degrees here yesterday (crazy for February) and so hot in that house. We took our loot and went home.

Hoping our streak continues!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Junk Stores

Well still no estate sales but my overwhelming need to rummage through junk drove me and Mom out Saturday morning to hit some of the local junk stores and one church sale.

The one thing I do like about shopping at church sales and junk stores are the prices. Things can be found for less than a dollar. We hit one church sale, the Salvation Army store, the Catholic Social Services and last but not least our favorite junk shop over in the North Augusta.

I am happy to say it was enough to satisfy my craving (well at least until next weekend) and I am pretty happy with my haul.

Isn't he just the cutest thing!

A local piece for my collection.

Just loved the box!

Story Book Doll, she needs some TLC so she may get a little makeover.

I think this is my favorite find, Babbacombe Pottery Fox string holder, when put your scissors in it looks like he is wearing glasses. He is chipped on the back and a small chip where the scissors go but I didn't care. He is already hanging on my wall upstairs. 

Small Doll - I know nothing about, but she cleaned up pretty well, thank goodness she has that big old hat because she is completely bald, I need to find her some hair.

I just adore this old folk art doll, she is stuffed with saw dust and I love her clothes!

A few old pins from the church sale.

Lots of Ephemera! I was like a pig in mud digging through a box of old papers, I found some lovely old greeting cards.

These cards were kind of special, they each have a little story book inside them.

This is a hand painted piece. Have no idea of the date but I am assuming possibly an art student painted it for an upcoming exhibition.

 The clover pin is worthless but I just love little pieces like that, the heart is sterling/marcasite.

Babbacombe Pottery mark.

Hope you are having a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
