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, Church Sales and Yard Sales

Mom and I finally had a really good couple of weeks in our junk hunting quest and I really needed it. I have no problem admitting that I am addicted to junk and it has been a long while since we have hit a good sale and both walked away completely satisfied. Last weekend we hit a couple of yard sales, a church sale and an Estate Sale. 

The church sale that we attended is a semi annual event and I haven't found anything there the past couple of times I have attended. I told Mom before we got there I was not expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. Found a couple of wonderful vintage Christmas items!

Aren't these two guys just adorable!

Lovely Wax Angel!

I also found this cute vintage box of Duck and Chicken Train Set Candle Holders, I just love them! The lead guy is a bobble head!

The estate sale yielded numerous vintage treasures!

Vintage 8" Hat Pins in Original packaging. Late 1800's I am thinking.

Not sure of the age of these cards but I love the Art Deco style.

Lots of little dolls needing to be rescued. The tree topper was found at the Church Sale.

Marked Germany, this little cart holds some circus animals. Haven't really researched it yet so not sure of it's age.

I squealed with delight when I opened a box in the garage and found this sweet couple!

Loved the little doll dresser. The tin picnic basket was found at a garage sale for $1. 

This cake plate is to die for. It is just so gorgeous! I believe it is 1930's Fostoria. I will be keeping this lovely for myself.

This past Wednesday I ran over to an estate sale to get a feel for the prices, they were pretty steep but I did find a couple of things I think were good buys. I had to have the little boy mannequin store display and the Wendt and Kuhn music box was a good buy for resale. It still plays beautifully.

So yeah, we have had a good couple of weeks, hoping the trend continues.

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Peach Tree 23 - 44 Mile Yard Sale

Mom and I had a really fun day yesterday. We went to the Peach Tree 23 44 Mile Yard Sale. We have done this several times in the past but it has been a couple of years since we last attended.

Our trip started off in Edgefield SC and ended in Ridge Springs SC (where we got a scoop of homemade Peach Ice Cream - my favorite). I really wished I would have taken some pictures along the way but I was driving and too focused on finding some good junk!

Anyway here are some of the things I brought home with me:

I love these two stereoviews, the subject matter appealed to me. Love the little office and will probably keep one to display in my Etsy office and sell the other. Hmmm, which one to keep?

For some reason I have started collecting old Wedding Photos, I love to see the different fashions depending on the era. 

An old Pepsi Drink Carrier.

Love this Sterling Charm Bracelet, one of the charms says "Mad Money" and has dollar bill in it, another is engraved with a name and a date of 1950.

I don't know, I just liked it (it has the word FARM on it and it's all beat up - what's not to like). It appears to be some kind of historical marker.

So this cat - I know nothing about him but he was too cute to pass up. He looks to be Chalkware maybe? and is very tiny. Looks to be from around the 1930's to me based on style of the cat.

I love to buy these types of things for my desk. Really like this paperweight.

Can always use glass tops for apothecary jars.

Such a pretty pair!

So I guess this is the vintage equivalent of a fidget spinner.

Copper Letter Press.

The vintage card box was free! I will use as part of my Christmas Decor!

Sweet little Choir! Japan

Round Genuine Leather Box made in Italy and old Swank box underneath.

I thought these books were just beautiful. Great for displaying around the house.

I found 3 more vintage T shirts (I hope they sell as well as the others I listed a couple of months ago).

Some old Barbie and Ken Doll clothes.

I think my favorite find yesterday was this Dancing Chicken Painting by Ernest Lee (SC Artist) and I can't wait to get it up on my wall! Isn't she just adorable!

I had such a wonderful time and am so blessed to have the most wonderful junking partner ever. We had a blast and will be putting this on our calendar for next year.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
