Today was the big rummage sale at our local church. They have one twice a year, and I always get really good stuff. Today was no exception.
I'm going to break this up over 2 posts because it's kind of photo-heavy. Which means I got a ton of stuff!
This year's theme was blue, apparently.
I found another Hoosier jar! With a blue lid, a color I've never seen before. It was $6, which was highway robbery for a rummage sale, but try buying one cheaper anywhere else. And I always have a use for them. Same with the blue mason jars, which were 25 cents each (that's more like it!) The tablecloth was $1.50 and is not a size I can use, but I might take it to the cabin or sell it in my Etsy store.
Someone must have had an old Hotpoint refrigerator. Guess what, so do I!
I think the basket (which says "Left-Overs"- love that) will fit in mine also. How cool is that, to find accessories for your 1940 Hotpoint at a rummage sale. Each piece was 25 cents.
I actually went back later in the day for this aquarium. I thought about it all morning and realized it would be perfect for a terrarium. Thankfully it was still there. It's older than I thought it was- the bottom is slate! The bell was an impulse buy (25 cents) that I may live to regret. Those of you with young kids will know what I mean!
That's it for now- I'll be back after tomorrow's rummage sale with pt. 2!
How neat what great finds! Isnt it just a samll world hotpoint to hotpoint?!
ReplyDeleteLove the ice cub trays! I used to have a fish tank just like the one you purchased, who knew it would be "vintage".
ReplyDeleteI have found the best stuff at church rummage sales! Ours is having one next week and I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteGood buys! Yup, if I would have gone along with you we would have been fighting over that hoosier jar! hahaha
