Saturday morning, I was out with my daughter to visit some Yard Sales, and we were able to find some fun Vintage things. My daughter however doesn't necessarily look for the vintage like I do. It is all about things for her home that she can re-purpose or toys for her toddler. But I was able to find some really fun little treasures and I think my grand total was $4.oo today! Here is what I found! I think the candlestick up above will turn into a faux mercury glass candlestick. These items surely tell the truth of "What is one man's junk is another man's treasure."
This vintage Avon bottle. I want to find an old clock face image for the frontThe back of the bottle.
I found this adorable baby vase complete with working music box on the back. I love the vintage "50's feel here, although is probably is not that old.
These glass bowls will be great for. . . . . .
this plate to make. . . . . . .one of these!
I love little white pitchers and don't have any that look like this one!
I know her paint is worn off, but I could not resist her cuteness anyway!
this old muffin tin was a dime! I am sure it will get painted for my drawer full of beads etc.
this is not old, but I love it's look. I am sure it will be painted also! I will post the items when they have been re-done for sure! What a fun time we had going Sale-ing.

Garage sale-ing with a daughter is my idea of fun too! With my daughter we are always "fighting" over the same things. So count your blessings your daughter doesn't like vintage:)
I love all your Saturday garage sale finds! My daughter and SIL go every week...my DD calls it Garage Sale-ing...LOL I especially love the vintage white avon bottle. What a little treasure. I think I remember those, maybe from the 1970's...in Australia anyhow. Thanks for sharing.
PS I have been seeing a chiropractor for my back and neck for 17 years. I couldn't live without my fortnightly treatments, but sadly there is only so much can be done for a hopeless case like me....
What a fun sale...can't wiat until they start here..we have had a few, but its been cool and rainy..but going to a big antique fair on the 28th...can't wait for that...will be fun to see your repaints and reuse of the goodies you found.....have fun!!
Love your finds, milady! That little gal is a parable in the making! Look forward to all your re-painting and re-purposing. Been to an estate sale last week that was quite overwhelming - and did spend more than $4.00. You did good on that score. But, for what I spent and the bounty I brought home - I did pretty good, too.
Joy!

I adore the old Avon bottle. What a great find! It's probably a good thing that your daughter doesn't go for the vintage items...more for you!
What wonderful finds!! It's so much fun to sale with someone!!

What great finds!! I think the clock image will look fantastic on the perfume bottle!
Hugs,

Loving all your treasures, Michelle! I also loved what you did with the candlestick on your last post...dying to try out the faux mercury glass technique!
