Terry - me too! Meaning, I buy a lot of those work/student type of pendants. The bad side is they tend to pile up in inventory like everything else! Last week I went through a collection I nabbed at a flea market that had some GF and sterling ones in it and thought... these are neat, why don't I list these? And then back away they went. I must have meant list later.

I had a pretty fun day last week at our local thrift and was going to post pics, but everything still had the tags on it. I know some folks don't like the tags showing and decided against it. I nabbed some Heath Pottery (first time!), a sweet antique Eiffel Tower item (I noticed this has a small piece of old paper stuffed inside... could it be the date the person/couple went to Paris?), two different partial sets of older Harlequin dishes, several modern items for the bay/antique mall and some Red Cliff Heirloom Ironstone in NM shape. Red Cliff always sells. It is a little low right now, but we will see what happens.

Have a fun Fall pickin' weekend, ya'll!

 

I love these pins too but have backed off on buying them for what will I do with them...

You're kidding...... If you don't tell us about that note we're all coming right over there!

 

lol KOT. Sounds like you got some great items funky Now what is written on the note, lol?

 

I'm actually NOT removing the note to read it

I thought it would be neat to leave it exactly as-is for the new buyer. The piece has some old dust webs on the base but I think I better clean those off. Anyways, I thought the paper may or may not have something on it and if so, how neat for the new owner to discover it. I'll reference it when I list it.

You would think I would be tempted, but I'm OK.... the only things that really tempt me are thrift stores and chocolate cake. I'm in real trouble when a bakery is next to a Goodwill.

 

what if the note says " price 10 cents.." ??

 

Bummer.

 

Here's a piece I've had for a long time, but I'm giving it away tomorrow as a birthday gift so I thought I should take some pictures first. Rosenthal bowl (11 1/2") decorated with chrysanthemums:

 

The first is my favorite find of a the day from a church white elephant room - cost 25 cents. The second is a "where the heck did I find this" that was hiding in a brown paper bag in my own house. It's signed, Mexican sterling, with turquoise. It's signed Jono piecpa negra Taxco, 925 etc. No clue who/what Jono was

 

Got this Frankoma Pottery trivet from a thrift store this morning. Cost me 50 cents.

 

I got these at the auction Friday night. A matching Czechoslovakian perfume bottle dauber & atomizer set. They are considered miniature as the dauber bottle is only 3 7/8" to the top of the stopper & the atomizer is only 1 7/8" to the top of the hardware. They have already joined all of their cousins in the curio cabinet.

Part 1
Here are some items from a recent trip. Horton, though very far from perfect, should have quite a good value. The off kilter photos were turned by the system here...
The 5 S&P sets are for a friend though I may sell the Tikis.
The gauges are essentially new old stock back to the 70s at least. I may or may not use them in my '69 Chevy truck.
The tool is an unknown but will surely be handy for something.
