Treasures at the Yard Sales

The yard sales in our area officially start the first of June. ....those are usually the best ones and there are lots of them to go to.     This year was no exception.....  I have been looking for a Swan soup tureen forever!  I finally found one...

her ladle is just gorgeous...

Isn't she a beauty?  

I paid $12.

I also got some other great "loot"...
I fell in love with these sweet dogs...

$3 for both.

This is a victorian Christmas stocking that will be added to my collection...

.50!

There is about 2 yards of upholstery fabric that was $1

Loved this cloche covered serving tray for $1.50..


I found this ceramic cow for $2...
I may paint him white and add some frilly pink stuff to make him a girl!

This metal sign was .50.

I think my grand daughter Kyleigh will look so sweet in this night gown..

It has lots of girly trim on it...

$2 my sleeping beauty .

What is my new duck sitting on?  It is a gorgeous seat and tank cover for the bathroom .....$1 for both pieces!

We yard saled on Friday and spent the entire day at the auction on Saturday!  Can't wait to show you what I found...a little hint...I'm Coo Coo for Clocks!

Til next time...

  5. Penny,
    I don't think I have ever seen a Duck Soup tureen before. So cute!! Love that metal Cow sign!! And everything else and Kyleigh will look darling in that night gown. I thought of going this weekend but it was in the 90's and so humid that I decided to stay home in the air conditioning. I am no lover of heat, that is for sure. I am saving up for a big Community Yard sale and flea market in the town where my church is on June 22. It should be a really good day because it is a really nice area.....
    We are on vacation now!!

    Hugs,
    Deb

  6. I have never seen that....If you put the ladle in...does it make the swan heart?

  9. I have never seen a swan tureen before either. What a great piece. I'm with Ceekay- I was wondering if the ladle goes in the front and then forms the swan heart- xo Diana

  18. I love the resales too. I came home with a $10 sewing machine and lots of fabrics, stencils, books and clothes for my granddaughter all from our church rummage sale (the sewing machine is perfect, she got a fancy model). We also like other church sales, resale and thrift shops plus flea markets.

  19. From Moo to You - he he. Great finds. That swan tureen and ladle is so unusual. I have my recent thrift store & yard sale finds on my site, too. Isn't it fun? Take care - Dawn

  20. Wish I could have been along on this outing. We have garage sales here, but few and nothing worthwhile. You did good on your finds.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Well how cool is that!! I've never seen a swan soup tureen, so that's a new one for me...but that's gorgeous! I want to see what you are going to do with it! I bet it will look gorgeous!! That ladle is what I'm impressed with too...not broken!! Great haul!
    Blessings,

  25. Your garage sale treasures are beautiful. i especially like the two dogs. i have a pair that i payed a lot more for than you did. They are from England and called Staffordshire. Does the little sticker on the bottom say Made in England? If it does, you are one blessed woman.
