Yard Sale Treasures

There were tons of yard sales and a big auction this week end,  so I have lots of new treasures!    I was so happy to find this mannequin head ($5) .    She will be headed down to my booth to display vintage hats for sale.

I'm going to let her borrow one of my wigs.   I bought this pretty wig to wear when I broke my arm a few years ago.   It's hard to do your hair with a broken arm....lol!
I found three big hat boxes full of vintage hats at a yard sale on Friday.    One of the boxes was from White & Kirk....Amarillo, Texas.

You can display hats on almost anything.....even a small lamp shade!
I love old perfume bottles and was lucky enough to find a few.     I have them displayed on a vintage full size sheet and pillow cases.
Simply Shabby Chic drapery panel....never opened!   I'll find something to do with a single panel....
I couldn't pass up three bolts of beige net.....$1 per bolt!   
An auction friend that used to be in the drapery business was having a yard sale and I bought some tie backs and fringe there.   She made the drapes in our formal dining room.
 
These three oil paintings came from the auction that we went to on Saturday.   I bought some other things at the auction but I think I will save them for a later post....this one is long enough!!!
Thanks for stopping by.....see you soon!

  7. Penny,
    Great buys!!! Love the prints especially!!
    I was going to go to the second day of that florist shop sale but I worked 3 nights, off one and then 4 nights so i was exhausted and thought that sleep would be much better than sales........i am on another 3 day stretch now after only one off. I worked on Sat. for a co worker so she could go to her grandchild's Birthday party. i will be off Thurs., Friday and Saturday in return though.....
    Love everything as usual!!

    Hugs,
    Deb

  10. Those old perfume bottles are very pretty. I imagine you could sway the one panel off the side of a window. It would look quite lovely.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I just love the old hats so much and would be so fun to dress up in and take a photo.

  24. I collected hats for a long time. I have given that up now but I have some favourites that I will always keep. I wish we still wore things like that. When I was young we dressed to go out, wore a hat and gloves etc. A costume. Well times have changed and women don't want to be that way anymore. Too restricting but I have to mourn the passing of more elegant days. Janice

  28. It's so much fun to see what you discover at yard sales and auctions, Penny. Even better to see what you do with your finds. Hugs, Nancy
