Hooker friend Jane (no blog) is moving and is having a tag sale. She is changing her decorating style so is selling lots of good, old stuff! I had early buying privileges ~ woo hoo. I did pick up a few treasures and may have to go back for more.
I have a weakness for old spice cupboards. I think this is #7 for me. I also got a couple pieces of vintage tin Halloween.
Vintage turkey candy containers from the Fanny Farmer Candy Company which I believe was a Cleveland, Ohio company and a wooden bread board.
Old Santas. (LOVE these!!!)
I had one old pewter plate. Now I have an official collection!
I also got an enamel pot for dyeing wool (if I ever do . . . lol), the Mary Emmerling flag book, a Zoar crock (not old) and a few other odds and ends.

My early daffodils are already done blooming, but there are so many other things bursting with color. Living close to Lake Erie, I was spared a frost but a bit more inland, people are worried about damage to the fruit trees. Hopefully little damage was done!
Kiss the kids and furbabies!
Pug hugs :)

Holy Moly...we really are twins from different mothers.....Had I been invited to that sale, the only thing you would have left with would have been the turkeys - not because I don't love them, but only because I have so much Halloween to take down, and so much Christmas to put up, that I gave up decorating for Thanksgiving. Wow!!! Great haul! Beautiful blooms my friend (should have had you take photos for me for yesterday's display chain - it was hard find anything in bloom....) We had a good freeze Monday night (? - Days are mixed up this week); and it's supposed to freeze again tonight....Poor, poor, plants....Happy tomorrow - whatever day that is.....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteHi, Lauren,
ReplyDeleteWhat great stuff you got from your friend ... love the pewter, the turkeys, the spice cupboard ...love it all!
You have 7 spice cupboards? I'll have to be on the lookout for one. Your daffodils are so pretty. Most of mine and just the plain yellow variety.

ReplyDeleteGreat things you got from your friend. I think that those santas are great!
ReplyDeleteWe've got a lot of plants up here too - tulips, etc. Seems so odd to see everything come up so early. Especially when I drove in about the worse hail/sheet/rain/thunderstorm I've even been in yesterday when I picked my son up from school. We counted 83 ditched cars, accidents or flip overs. It was a whit knuckled drive. And tomorrow is going to be in the 70's. Go figure!!
