What I Found: Nov. 23

After a few weeks off it felt good to stop by a some sales over the weekend.   With the exception of the 2 paintings below, read more about those here, all items were purchased at 2 estate sales.


I love this 1960s Panasonic Radio.   It's clean as a whistle and works great! If it was blue I wouldn't think twice about keeping it.


This wood table lamp is almost as great as the gold metallic shade.  The lamp was hand made in the 60s by one of the sons of the lady whose sale we were shopping.


I will always pick up brightly colored pyrex.  Always.


And I won't shy away from picking up vintage luggage either.  I guess this means it is time to plan a weekend get-away to palm springs ;)


How great is this old chinese checkers board.  I'm thinking it will be a fun decor piece hung up in the boys room.


A jar of old buttons is always nice to have around.  Full of hidden (sparkly) gems.


This chair. THIS CHAIR!  The owner was in her 80's and it was hand carved by her grandfather. It is soooooo good.  Oh, and it was only $10.00.  Yeah, I know!! It's so good, that I will probably devote an entire post to just photos of this chair.


I love finding old Fire King mugs.  Some are super valuable, most are not...it's a fun gamble. 



These are the 2 painting I picked up at the SD Vintage Flea Market, where I was also a vendor.   I still have piles of art waiting to be hung, but that will never stop me from buying more.

    1. Confession...the green bowl isn't pyrex, I just didn't want to take an additional picture :)

  7. LOVE each score. I try my best to avoid mugs since they can be such a slow sell but damn, they're so irresistible and small and cheap ... :)
