There was a community yard sale in the section next to mine and they must have had a record number of participants! I called Ma and we stopped by, we also hit a thrift store.
First I found this crochet doily made by the woman's MIL. 42" x 14" - $1.
I also bought the short candle stick for 50 cents.
I had picked up the taller one at a thrift store months ago for $1.
In my own crazy way, I now consider this a set:@) Mismatched, but still a set!
I love the dishes with the bubbles, and found this 8 oz glass at the thrift store for 50 cents.
Rabbit napkin rings-$1. They have some weight to them and feel like porcelain.
But the thing I am most excited about is this Santa planter/decoration. It's 5" tall by about 4" deep and the opening in his sack is about 1 1/2". It says "Japan" on the bottom and has some gold accents.
The woman went into a long story about how her MIL gave her this and it was the first Christmas decoration she ever owned, in the family for years... I held my breath and asked "how much?"... $1!
Woo-Hoo!!!
Woo-Hoo!!!
Oh, and I picked up something pink, but think I'll save that for Pink Saturday:@)
Yes, it was a happy day in Philly!

Oh my, Santa is too cute! Well done. We got neat stuff but I am so tired there will be no post to record our things I am afraid. hugs♥olive
ReplyDeleteOh I love going "junking!" You found some great treasures today!
ReplyDelete"OH I LOVE it ALL"!!! The lady you bought the doily and santa from "has no sentimental value in her AT ALL", OR it's a "MIL thingy",I'm hopeful it's the first... ANYWAY, LOVE the hobnail "SET", we would ALL agree with that... AND I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the SANTA!!! He is fantastic! I have never seen one like him, AND I'm from that generation... YES, a bottlebrush tree would be PERFECT... You had a fantastic day!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Donna
Looks like you had a fun and productive Saturday morning. Love that you found another hobnail candle holder. And Santa, well we are all lovin him! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteFun day. Love the crocheted runner, so pretty and the candlestick is perfect. Looks like a set to me. Your santa is wonderful. I know you will have so much fun decorating with him. So glad you had a super day. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYou had a great day!! Love the doily and candlesticks. They look like a perfect pair!!
ReplyDeleteI love everything you got lol
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! The Santa looks a lot like one I found and posted about last week. I really like the vase with the bubbles at the base. Have a great week, Nan
ReplyDeleteYou had a very productive Saturday junking trip. Everything if perfect. Of course, we all are loving Santa! I really like the glass. Very good Saturday! I went junking too but for some reason my very favorite thrift store was closed...I guess they forgot I was coming!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the candlesticks and the bunny napkin rings.
ReplyDeleteIf these things were so blooming important to this woman and have so much history, why is she selling them?
I will start with the pina colada ice cream, num and then the beautiful bubble glass. Wouldn't a set of those be a beautiful thing to own. What a cute little Santa, he will be fun to feature in future posts. You had a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou got some great treasures! Love the Santa and that milk glass has my name on it. I like the mismatched set. Glad you had a fun day at the yard sales. I had surgery at Will's Eye Hospital in Philly 7 years ago. We enjoyed our visit to Philly. Beautiful city! Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteFun thrift finds! That runner is beautiful and the two hobnail candlesticks look great together! Love the little bunny napkin rings!
ReplyDeleteFAB Junkin!! Love the little glass, it's sometimes called Boopie and I have a small collection of it. I love Milk Glass and I say the candlesticks go together great.
ReplyDeleteWhat great thrifty finds! I have those bunny napkin holders but I sure paid a lot more than a $1. Love the goblet and the milk glass candle holders...Christine
ReplyDeleteIt never ceases to amaze me the kinds of things you can find at yard sales and thrift stores. Junk to them, but a must-have to you or me. You got some grand items. I especially love the milk glass.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you,
Patti
I love that glass! in fact I have a plate to match it!
ReplyDeleteI love your treasures. Great idea for the Santa, and I love the bunnies!
ReplyDeleteI don't collect anything! What will I show for your party? :(
I love doilies. That Santa planter is so sweet with his twinkly eyes.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week! La
Your Santa looks like he is from the same time frame as the one I brought home from the in-laws garage last weekend. I was excited about mine too. Mine is just a figure, no bag to put things in.
ReplyDeleteTHose bunny napkin rings are too cute!
ReplyDeleteHello Lynn, I think I will join your barnyard bash party. It sounds like fun. I have lots of time to think about what I will post.
ReplyDeleteYour thrifty finds are all so cute. I too think the Santa is special. I also like the 'pair' of candle holders. I bet you are already thinking about a bunny post next Easter. Smile.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs, Jeanne
Oh how precious! Love the bunny rings. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your little santa, he's so cute!

ReplyDeleteGreat finds and at a bargain-I like the candlesticks-they can be used for so many holidays!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun day and you found some SWEET goodies for WW! I heart your candlestick pair!
ReplyDeleteThe candlesticks look like milk glass. I have some of the bubble glassware that was my grandmothers. And I adore your Santa what a deal!
ReplyDeleteDonna
