Went Junking Today!

Hey everyone! What a spectacular morning weather wise in Philly on Saturday!
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!!!

Now I just need to find a bottle brush tree to put in his sack to decorate!

Oh, and I picked up something pink, but think I'll save that for Pink Saturday:@)
Yes, it was a happy day in Philly!
