Just a very few! I hit two estate sales on Saturday morning but the pickings were slim. My favorite find was a wonderful sewing pattern from 1959. It says it is a square dance costume but I think it looks more bohemian or south of the border. I guess even square dance styles change.
Thank you, Renee, for turning me on to those little plastic rain bonnet "purses". This is the first one of an honest to gosh, planned collection - LOL! It looks so cute with those dresses.
I now have THREE old plastic cutlery trays. I didn't plan that.

Is that what that is? What a sweet little case, I remember those bonnets well. Fun pattern and that cutlery tray will be perfect for little bits and pieces.
At least you found some goodies. My grandmother used to wear those rain bonnets in the little purses. When Ben was about 3 we were having a party and I had to go out and pick the pizzas on a really stormy night. I borrowed Grandma Jeanette's rain bonnet to wear. When I came back in the door after grabbing the pizzas Ben took one look at me in the bonnet and started laughing. You know that little kid laugh where they just laugh and laugh and it is just pure joy and amusement. I still smile at that rain bonnet memory!
I spied it first thing....you lucky duck. I love your cutlery tray it is a fabulous color and the sweet little scallop...ooh. I am longing for some great old finds. It has been way too long. Claire and I are hitting the antique mall for a chance to score something cheap. Smiles....Renee
Some great finds Kathy!! That purse is adorable, and I love the blue tray with the scallops. Too cute. xo Heather
Oooh, love the tray! I didn't know the bonnets came in little purses. Yay for planned collections.
That cutlery tray is wonderful..I remember those little bonnet purses. Haven't seen one is a long time.
Hey, Kathy--What marvelous finds! Sometimes I like it when there are "slim-pickin's" at estate sales...makes me look a little harder. You found some wonderful treasures. My sweet GG had rain bonnets like the one you found. She'd never leave the house without them...just in case! :)Thanks for sharing your fun finds.
LOVE the trays, and the little rainbonnet holders -- omg, my mother always had those! I think they sometimes came from the Fuller Brush man, but I might be mistaken.
