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 - Greensboro GA

Mom called me on Wednesday night and asked if I wanted to take a trip over to Greensboro GA for an estate sale on Friday. Of course I did so I requested to take the day off so I could join Mom for a junking adventure.

My brother joined us for the trip and we had a wonderful time on the ride up, I love our crazy conversations. It took us a little over an hour to arrive at our destination. The house was really old, according to the people running the sale it was built in the late 1800's. The house was totally overflowing with junk (most of it was just that - junk). I did my best to look in every nook and cranny and root out the truly old stuff.

I didn't find as much as I would have liked but I did find a couple a really special things that I am pretty excited about.

I have been looking for a vintage seltzer bottle for years, well I finally found one and for a really good price. Ain't she a beaut!!

I also found this really special box, I picked it up because I loved the box and intended to add it to my Christmas collection. Thinking there were cards in the box, I was overjoyed when I opened it up to find all of these vintage tags and gummed seals. I think this was my "most happiest" find.

I also picked up a little vintage book (from the late 1800's) called the Birthday Bible Book. After picking it up I noticed that it had some charming surprises hidden among the pages. The letter is just adorable.

AND I couldn't believe it but I found a piece of Augusta History in this little book

And a few other goodies, a 1930's Bulova watch box, a pair of cute Nuns, and a beautiful old heart shaped bottle.

I guess this trip wasn't so good for my Etsy shop, I only picked up one thing for resale. It appears to be a Bimini Cocktail Pick set.

We decided to hit another sale in Aiken SC, so we were all over the place yesterday. I didn't find much at this sale but did come away with a few things. I think my favorite thing from this sale is the 1930's Birthday Party photo. I also found the poison glass, the little angel, and vintage bottle brush tree.

 It was a fun day spent doing my favorite thing with my favorite people.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
