*Atomic dish $2.00 Anyone have a clue what the top right picture is? I can't figure it out!! Also this is that bumpy rough glaze, what is it called?*

*Chalk ware Seahorse Miller studios*
Purchased in a fill a bag for $2.oo sale
Along with items below

*Funny rubber magnets (Lady at the till asked me what they were.)*

*Tea cup magnets* I had the one on the right before. Found the one on the left this weekend. They are monthly tea cups. I have October and December.
(bag sale)

*Silver velvet turban*
I am going to find a fitting button to sew on where the safety pin is. As whatever used to be there is long gone.
(bag sale)

*Green polyester turban*
(Bag sale)


*Rose Brooch $1.99*

*Went to a Antiques and collectibles show this weekend*
Entry fee was $4.00 a person. I was not gonna leave there without something. So I bought this locket. It still has the paper in each of the photo holders. I paid $12.00 I think its a bit much but I bought it for memory sake and am going to put some black and white pics in it.

*Aldo Wicker Purse (Not Vintage) $0.75*

*Whisk $0.50*

*Rempel 1950s donkey planter*


*I love how alot of vintage things still have their stickers on them*


"Sorry Donkey for showing everyone your underside"


*No don't step on the babies*


*I am doe eyed for you, YES YOU*


*Cute spots*
"Above you see 5 ceramic knick knack animals" I went to 10 garage sales this Sat and I only bought stuff from my very last one.


(Which are the cuties above) I asked the Seller how much he wanted for all 5. He said $2.00 (I was so happy) So I said I would take them and then I saw the Eternity perfume. I asked how much, He said: "You can have it, so you can smell good for him *looked over at Mr. Coconut* later" I WAS STOAKED!


A 100 ml bottle costs $92.00

Now I can feel like this

FOR FREE

Thanks to a Random man





Which reminded me of over a month back when I bought I new bottle of Thierry Mugler Illusion for 0.50 cents (Which I love by the way)


*Hawaii leaf dish 0.50*


*Silver plated vanity tray engraved with a S*

After some research I found out this is a tray from 1890's most likely.

Made by Fenton Brothers
$1.00


*Rose tray 0.75 cents*

What is with me and little trinket trays?! I keep buying them, can't stop!

Have you seen The Secondhand Years post? She got a cute "SHAKE IT" dress from E-bay for 99p. It has the most amazing ruffles. Which reminds me of the apron I bought on Friday from a thrift shop.



Today when I tried this on I instantly wanted to bake something. I got it in a $5.00 bag sale I went to on Friday. Okay so I have mentioned two bag sales I went to which might be the reason why my Grandma calls me [The Bag Lady.] *lol*
So I told PastCaring the only thing she was missing with her little dress was some maracas. Well I didn't wanna miss out on any fun.... and since I don't own maracas just yet. (Don't you worry I will) I had something just as good.

    Hahahaha! Wish I knew how to do the thing with the photos, I could have done that with my frock! Love your moves, and what better to dance with than a whisk? If there are no maracas to hand, that is...
    You did WELL with your scores.
    I agree with everyone who says the "horn" is a cornucopia (insert your own joke), lovely little dish, fab turbans, great brooch and pendant, and all the ceramics are adorable.
    And you get to smell nice too - winner!
    A successful weekend, I think!

    That apron would almost have me wanting to do housework. The whisk is a fabulous accessory, too.
    Loving the turbans, the antique fair locket and the plate with the horn of plenty the most.
    You've made up for a lean couple of weeks! xxx

    @Everyone To all who said it's a cornucopia / horn of plenty.
    That is what Mr. Coconut told me he thought it was. So since so many of you also think the same. I suppose that is what it must be. *lol*
    I really wasn't to sure I think I stared at it for too long.

    Thank you for your help
