Found treasures...

Sunday, January 16, 2011
I went to a yard sale early this Sunday morning, NEVER turn your nose up at a Sunday yard sale..... okokok, any yard sale-- any day of the week.
I got a HUGE box full of vintage unused greeting cards, all of this for only $5 bucks.
A bag full of celluloid belt buckles for $1...Some old buttons for $1....
The red heart buttons and the cameo buttons are my favorites.
A box of printers blocks $5.
Hmmmmm whats in these two dusty boxes? Lets start with the narrow box on top shall we? Why look at that... tons and tons of dresden embellishments. I'm talking... never pulled apart, packed tightly the way they were sold, dresden pieces. *insert happy dance here* All of this for $3. *insert huge smile here* Now the second box..... Opening the box..... YUCK, dis-a-pointing! But wait, lets dig deeper shall we?..... whats this....... oh pretties! lets lift out some more... ohhhhhhhhhh more dresden pieces! Also, tons and tons of packets of silver and gold doilies... and the very bottom of the box? Yummy~ This entire box was $5, highway robbery... *mumble-mumble*..... :-) I also got a bundle of vintage flowers, some metal tape and a bag of dresden "letters" and a 1885 german book. All of this for $2. Look at the vivid colors on these vintage flowers. Purchased, bagged and stuffed in a box long ago and forgotten no doudt.
The gal is having another yard sale tomorrow-- she promised more "craft stuff" for sale tomorrow. I may camp out in front of her house tonight... I'm just sayin'....I've linked up to Apron Thrift Girls, "Thrift Share Monday" and Her Library Adventures "Flea Market Finds" Also, Coastal Charm's "Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays"
