it was really last minute....

 

Last minute Compassion fares do still exist, but they're not cheap. I can't medically board a plane any more, so Customs is a problem I can't have, but I've heard some not-nice stories.

Unless you're American; traveling through Iran for us hasn't been safe since the 1970s. Russia would scare me too; a friend did just do Medical work...in Ukraine. Ukraine was safer (!). North Korea even scares North Koreans.

 

Finds of the week. All in the same goodwill type store. Lol. Yes they all came home with me

 

How many tables can you fit in your place? This is me, except chairs. I had a reaaal problem at one point. The black and gold stuff looks like it came from the same home.

 

Too many. I also have problems. Pretty much two rooms and a garage full of tables, Victorian style chairs, lamps etc lol. Wife is planning to start a shop soon so I just help her out and go thrifting on the down time between my jobs in the city.

 

Hah haaaah I don't know that just sounds like an excuse to shop! You're in good company in that case.

 

How very kind of you.

 

It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

 

Today's finds at the local Wayside Christian mission bargain outlet. Knight made in Spain and the bowl is marked Andrea by sadek

 

Bought this on eBay for £18 inc post, it was sold as copper.

its gold, probably 15ct though i haven’t tested yet. Diamonds and pearls in the buckle, 42.8g.

 

Beautiful, great find!

 

Wowser!

 

I see a lot of things marked for Andrea by sadek but that's the first sliverplate I think I've seen. That's a lot of fun and I would have picked it up too.

Whewwww I need such luck! That's a stunning piece!

 

Go , Ratsy , Go !!!!!!!

good eye !!!!

 

!!SCORE!! That's gorgeous. Art nouveau/arts and crafts era gimmedat bracelet.

 

This apparent antique German 800
silver snuff or pill box (google search) was a great find at less that $1. The bottle (not that valuable) was just over $5. I have also liked these departmental bottles,and I have never found one so complete (especially with all the little stoppers)

 

Wow,absolute great buy!!

 

Went to a church rummage. Came back after spending too much with a few goodies,and a Cambridge Decagon pattern dessert set. The plates have their original paper labels, and I have cups and saucers too. Not to mention the creamer and open sugar. Handled sandwich plate to boot. It's all in a box in the trunk of my car.

A few of many of today's auction wins. Driving out to rural indiana paid off lol. $11 vase and $14 stool

 

I had that bench in Denver ! Someone had left it in the alley . I carried it like 12 blocks and it weighed a ton . If I remember correctly they were 1960s .
