So, here I am back a mere 16.5 hours after my post about TOO MUCH STUFF with today's Yard Sale Finds. Hahahahahahahaahahahaha. I think I have a sickness. But, I just had to get out and see what I could find. I would have been happy to come home empty handed. But, I just needed to see with my own eyes that there weren't piles of Marie pottery, Hawaiian paintings and Rushton animals lying in the driveways this morning. I didn't find any of those things, but I did enough to make me happy, but not so much that it is a burden. Best part - it's already all put away where it belongs. So, it's not a STUFF issue!
I found this great old Vertifile File Cabinet for a dollar. I've never seen anything like it.
The top slides open like this. It reminds me of a library cart or a mailroom cart. I am going to use it in the Booth to hold books. I think it would be cool on a patio full of iced drinks too.
The smalls. Two 1950 "My Pictionary" books, a glass cat pin cushion, a string of beads with roses, vintage Christmas tree brooch, funny elephant baby pull toy, a wooden Santa, a red thermos for my collection and a vintage checked tablecloth for that collection too. (I love it when my junk photos look artistic.)
Also, good news.
I found Jesus at a yard sale.
Baby Jesus that is.
I bought all these back in May, but there wasn't a Jesus to be found.
And lastly, two old vintage Bake King Bread pans. I'm going to use them to hold notepads and pencils.
Maybe I will have more restraint this week? Only time will tell.....;o)
It is a sickness and I have it also!! I did manage not to go out today! But it was hard! Love that cool file cabinet!
ReplyDeleteHello! I have one of those vertical files except mine is green. I use it for its intended purpose, but I love your idea of holding iced beverages.
ReplyDeleteAnd the pink enamel "cup" in your last post - I just bought the same thing last week! It was labeled as a child's chamber pot. A pink potty!
