Junkin

I didn't strike gold Saturday,  but I sure struck silver!    We got up early to go yard salin',   and the first sale we went to was just around the corner from our house and it was just opening.
  
I went to school with the parents of the girl that was having the sale,   wonder if her mom knew she was selling all this silver.    

It was my pleasure to take quite a few pieces off her hands....lol!     The lid on this butter dish was different from the ones I have see before.....it is on hinges and just folds back.

She had her silver  marked  from $1 to $5 

Aren't these salt and pepper shakers gorgeous!

  We are using silver to serve the reception buffet at our daughters wedding in Oct,  so I have been picking up silver at yard sales.
 
I found these silver measuring cups at Pier 1.

At a different sale,  I saw this ivory ironstone lid, ..... not marked.       I asked the lady how much and she said   "I haven't marked it because I broke the bottom.   If you like it...you can have it"    I had bought some other things there,  so I went on ahead a took it.

I added this anniversary plate to my ever growing collection.     I probably  need to get rid of some of them!

This is a small round tablecloth and 24 napkins.    I've never seen that many in one place   $2 for all.   

I thought we could use these paper napkins as a back up at the wedding reception.

Did you think I had forgotten to say anything about the pig you saw with the salt and pepper shakers,   of course I didn't forget her!         I bought her from the lady where I got the free ironstone lid      I also bought a 50"s chair and some linens there...   but this post is already long enough,  so I'll show you later.  lol       Anywhoo,  I knew she would look perfect with my pig that you have all seen so many times!   Don't they look sweet together?

  4. I sold a silver coffee set and a pewter coffee set when I was moving and it made me feel good that the women treasured them.

  5. I did the same thing Penny, except I went to an Estate sales..and came home with a truckload..I even bought tree's in pots...huge things..and stuff I don't need. If I had a booth like you do ...but I don't. I have way too much stuff. Not ready to "scale down" and doubt I ever will be...but I do need to take it easy on the buying. It's such fun though. A treasure hunt. Helped my son with is garage sale..what a hassle. I would rather donate than have a garage sale.
    LOVELY things you found. Do you ever buy things and then forget what the heck you bought?? I do! I now carry a book and pen in my purse to write things down...and then forget to do it! Congrats on such great finds!!! :)
