I almost didn't go. It was so bad...the last sale. The gnawing in my gut won out and I am so glad it did. When I pulled on the street the cars were thick. I didn't even grab my little bag that I tuck in the car for sales for fear that it would jinx me.
My hands were full by the time I made it to the garage and I had to tuck everything in the first basket I could find. Vintage goodies were plentiful and so were the people.
Little Ohio Art barn. In bright pink with a giant sunflower. It is Kansas! It came with pink fences, blue farmers and little farm animals.
Darling brushes and strawberry tin.
Honey whip jars full of cake picks and chicks.
Books and more.
Coloring pages...
Kids crafting books galore.
Cherry on the top...a 1930's McCall's Dressmakers book. Although the cover is badly worn the inside is in mint condition.
Note to self: Leave bag in the car always and go with your gut.

You have to visit a lot of dud sales to hit a good one?
Renee, you lucky duck! What a treasure trove of goodies! I have several of the Jr Elf books that have come to me when I have purchased Little Golden Books (my obsession). Do you have an alphabetized list of your Jr Elf books? If so, you could email me and if you are interested, we could trade some of the titles. Tammy
ReplyDeleteGreat sale..I need one like that. I love how you did not grab your basket as you did not want to jinx yourself - I DO THAT SAME THING SOMETIMES! I did not bring mine in the other day and had to find an empty box to put goodies in.
ReplyDeletelove the farm.
I would fall over in a faint if I ever saw stuff like this at a sale.
ReplyDeleteOh o just love that little vintage barn! So many great finds you got! Yes, I have been to many a dud sale and then some excellent ones! Thank you for your address, I will be sending a package your way by week's end :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a haul Renee! I am so jealous of the coloring books! I bet the Mother Goose one is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, Marilyn
ReplyDeleteHigh five!!! This is what keeps us going back. You just never know....

That barn! That barn! Of all the great things you got, what I love most is .... that barn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sale, wish I could have gone! I'm glad you got such great treasures. Those Jack and Jill magazines bring back sweet memories for me. I remember getting those when I was very young.
ReplyDeleteWow what awesome goodies you got!! I Love sales like that!! Your blog is so adorable and your talents are amazing!! I always love to stop by and see what you are up to!! Have a good day. XO Fran.
ReplyDeleteYou did all right for yourself there! Love the barn!
ReplyDeleteA barn is on my wishlist. Nice find! I have been desperately hoping for a good winter sale to break up the days, but nothing yet...
ReplyDeleteOh my, so jealous of that little barn! I never seem to find many good estate sales here. Being in Florida, I think a lot of the residents moved here later in life, and had already gotten rid of the "good stuff". Most sales I see (previews online) are just a bunch of outdated 80's furniture!
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SHADE OF GREEN DOES NOT LOOK GOOD ON ME!
ReplyDeleteBonanza! I'm oogling your strawberry tin ~ lucky you:)

Please, please, please show inside of dressmaker book...never seen this one. Curiosity is killing this cat. :)
ReplyDeletemy oh my...little package arrived today (I was beyond excitement!) and I've left you a wee message on my blog today.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU so much sweet Renee - there aren't enough swaps in my life!

Oh. My. Goodness. You definitely hit the jackpot and everything looks to be in very good condition! That's the icing on the cake. I'd still love to follow you around when you hit these places!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow-I'm so jealous! I never find sales like this where I live. I have a trash can that matches the tin you found. We have the same taste in so many things!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend,
Betsy
I love playing "I Spy" with your scores. When you have fun, we have fun. Thanks and Congrats!

I LOVE your barn!! I've looked at barns on ebay, but since I don't know where I'd put one after I got it to my house, I've never moved past the "Look" stage.
ReplyDeleteOh, Renee! What a Hall! Love the Little Barn , and Pink Fences Too!!
ReplyDeleteJack and Jill...fond Memories of those For Sure!:D Thanx for Sharing, and Good For You! I'm getting itchy to get out to my local Estate Sales.
Smiles,
Christine
