This past weekend my cousin came out on Saturday and we got in the car and hit 7 local secondhand stores and 9 in the surrounding area. We even managed to get lunch in between. The only problem with my cousin and me going together is we both like a lot of the same items. It's a challenged to see who gets through the door first and who finds the things the other one would like first. We're at the point now were we say if you don't get it I will. Boy did I get a lot of stuff. As soon as I get the pictures done I'll post my finds.
These plastic containers reminded me of my grandmother. I'm not sure why they do they just do.
This pamphlet I found in my grandmothers stuff it's B.C. Electric Home Service News from October 1948 it has recipes, tips for sending things overseas for Christmas and things they might like for Christmas in England since there were still shortages because of the war.
More Fall Color Pyrex.
This small blue art glass vase I found at the local flea market. It has no markings the lady who sold it to me said it is Yugoslavian glass.
This brooch is unsigned but made me think of Fall.
I found this biscuit tin and thought with the ducks on it, it would be good to get to use in a Fall display.
I do not know who's in the car but I'm guessing the car might be a Ford at Central Park in New York 1916.
The little girl is either my boyfriends mother or her sister.
Thanks for visiting.

In the past week I've had some unbelievable finds at the secondhand stores and the garage sales on Saturday. I had time Sunday morning to get quite a few photo's since a family of racoons would not leave my yard so my yard work went on hold.
I saw these statues on the shelf at a local secondhand store as soon as I saw them they were in my basket. I knew I was going to put them on either side of my white vase.
I arrived later in the day after garage saleing at a local secondhand store who had a good portion of their items on for half price and somehow this paperweight was still on the shelf waiting for me. It's now in my collection.
The Dahlias are from my yard. I put a flower frog in a Dominion glass wide mouth canning jar. I think it's a perfect fit.
Mocha and Coco are my boyfriend's cat's their photo's were taken while sitting on our pew in our front entrance, angels they are not. The Melmac bowls seen between them I picked up at the secondhand store as back up food dishes.
The 1st picture is of clear bottom nesting bowls, a Pyrex container with a lid in 1960's color and a one cup vintage Pyrex teapot minus the lid with the fleur de lis pattern.
This 2nd picture I believe is a Pyrex cake dish is flamingo pink when I found it; it was minus a lid which I later found at a secondhand store.
The 3rd picture is where the cake dish now sits on a shelf in my Hoosier.
This is a picture of my dad's cousin, I was surprised when I found it. When I was born she was already middle aged so I would have never guessed this picture existed.
I took my picture of my Dahlias and decided to use picmonkeys Warhol setting to change the picture. I liked how it turned out so I thought I would add it to this post.
