Jackson Junking

I speed-picked one shop, Antiques On Main, during our vacation and this is my little haul of goodness.  The metal odds and ends are actually from my MIL's garage but I forgot to put them in the previous post.  I don't know what they will become but it makes me happy to know they are right there in the drawer if I need them.  Tell me you don't do things like that.
 A new needle book for my recently acknowledged collection.
 Another advertising needle book, a patterned hankie for my collection, a couple of glass chandy drops and a sweet, padded Easter card.  Love the ruffles!
 I got quite an assortment of rick-rack that will show up in my Etsy shop at some point and a ball of avocado pearl cotton for my bookmarks.  I didn't have that color.
 A big enamel bowl with roses inside.  I have two now.....
 A nice stack of white hankies that will also head to Etsy.
 I keep the colored ones and share the white ones.
Thank you all for your advice about the doilies in the previous post.  Every single one of you voted to leave them as-is and so it will be!  They are patiently sitting inside the atomic closet organizer waiting for me to bust a move.

Oooh, what a pretty bowl and I love all those sewing supplies and hankies too. Oh yes, I do things like that. I'll stash something so it will be there when I need it. Then when I need it, I usually forget where I stashed it. Sad, very sad.

What a great haul! I LOVE the bowl and all the hankies. It's always fun to go picking somewhere different.
