Happy Memorial Weekend. Is it just me, or does it feel like it's not time for Memorial Day yet? I managed to find a few yard sales and a visit a thrift this weekend. I found a few fun items as well. :)
I'm half tempted to keep the Lite Brite. If I was to ever start doing flea or vintage markets, it would make one cool sign!
I love these small wooden dolls. They remind me of Japanese Kokeshi dolls, but I just can't commit to that. The heads don't seem oversized enough. Do you have any idea?
I found a large box of spice, tobacco and medicinal tins over the weekend. Through preliminary research they all date between the early 1900's and 1950s. I am going to create groupings up and try to make a few quick sales out of them that way. I think they would make great office or art supply storage, dont you?
At another yard sale I found the most darling stack of Yearbooks. 1959, 1962 and 1970. Oh have the times have changed! I'll be holding on to these for a few weeks, they are just too fun to flip through. The autograph inscriptions found within are amazing. In fact, I'll put together a blog post soon with a few of my favorites. The lovely lady who these belonged to sure was boy crazy.

ReplyDeleteoh please keep the LiteBrite :)
ReplyDeleteI just threw away my son's lite bright I caught him burning paper on the light bulb. A little dangerous don't you think?
ReplyDeleteOMG Lite Bright! That is on my thrifting list. I am dying to find one. Did you keep it? I have such wonderful childhood memories of it.
ReplyDeleteWe just sold it- it's on it's way to the east coast as we speak. I must admit, I had a major twang of regret when I saw the order come in. C'est la Vie, I suppose.
