The family’s collective garage sale finds— We were thoroughly joyful and yet disgusted with ourselves for the excess of “junk” that we drug home. 😉
My packages (I had some more in other parts of the room— my family kept finding them while they went through their stuff)
My perfect size 11 Oxfords, brand new =$3 (I have been craving a good pair of oxfords)
Darling retro clock = $1.50
Wonderful, whimsical pincushion = $.45
A huge tub of vintage clothing patterns. They are all a size too small, but I figure it’s easily remedied by using a smaller seam allowance or adding a bit onto the pieces. This woman had great taste……..almost every pattern was adorable! I just hope they aren’t missing pieces……….
Now that everything is nice and neat and I found a home there for a few of my new garage sale finds, I thought I would share a some photos. The lovely glass jars with brass and copper bands are some of my favorites pieces that I brought back from the sales. If I remember correctly, I paid $1.50 for the set. 😀 You’ve seen the pincushion before, but now it is in action. The doll was made by my momma and the tag hanging from the largest jar was handmade by me. It’s a luggage tag for the trip I’ll be taking next week. I’m going to LasVegas for work, where I’ll be looking through clothing and accessories for two whole days! *Bliss*
Some of my velvet strawberries, in new colors that will be making their way to the shoppe soon!
Wonderful laces and trims that I bought online and wrapped around vintage spools.
My favorite chair; it’s actually my mom’s chair, but I snagged it from her serging space. 😉
