Vintage Finds - Junk hunting with Mom

They held a "Vintage Market Days" event in North Augusta this weekend. I was excited to go check it out so Mom and I made plans to head over there on Saturday morning. While it was a very nice event and I enjoyed it and did pick up a few things, there was not a lot of real vintage there. Maybe 3 or 4 vendors actually had vintage items. I did really like this booth and bought one of the cupcake stands made from old bed springs.

I also found this vintage postcard for $1.50, because I have the dearest brother ever I had to have it.

Since we were really close to our favorite junk shop over in North Augusta, we decided to stop by when we left the Vintage Market Day Event. I am glad we did, I found some pretty good junk.

A couple of old dolls, the Irwin Kewpie Doll needs the arms restrung but other than that it's in good shape. I don't know anything about the other doll yet.

Ronson Lighter in box, an Old Medical School or Fraternity Pin and a lovely little Gold Locket.

I know two red headed girls that are going to want this little Tin Litho Horse!

A few holiday items, tiny Chalkware Chick, miniature Santa Mug and a Japan Elf.

Had to save this little couple. They are not in great shape but I love them anyway! I think from the 1930's.

A vintage child's Peanuts Sweatshirt. I sure did love the Peanuts when I was a child.

Not sure what this is, thinking an Ink Roller, if you have any ideas let me know.

The Hat/Wig Box has a cloth head form inside, never have seen one like this before.

So it was all in all a fun day out junking with Mom.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

Estate Sale - Vintage Dolls

There was one estate sale this weekend and I was on the fence about going. I had some errands to run on Friday and since I was out and about I decided to go by and give it a look see. I was pleasantly surprised and actually ended up buying quite a bit. I couldn't resist the two creepy composition dolls and an old wicker doll carriage (Hedstrom Union - I think around 1930's). The doll carriage had belonged to the owner of the home when she was a child. The larger doll is a Shirley Temple Look Alike (she is not marked). Both dolls are composition heads, shoulders, arms and legs with cloth bodies.

I also found some great vintage Christmas smalls to include old corsages and gift tags.

And some other smalls.

I also bought an old vintage metal soft drink rack but it has not been unloaded yet!

On another note, we had a 4th of July celebration at my house on Saturday. I had 3 of my nieces and nephews over as well as my children for a nice BBQ dinner. We ended up looking at old family photos and put a 1000 piece puzzle together. It was so much fun I thought I would share some pictures. (I bought the puzzle at the yard sale on Friday)

Wishing you a Happy 4th!
