I only had time for one junking stop this weekend so it was my weekly trek to the VOA. The clerk commented to another customer that I always find the best stuff - and I think she is right! I was very pleased with my finds today.
I haven't decided what I will do with the cardboard drawers yet. I might cover with wallpaper because that is always so pretty, or might just remove the drawers and use the shelves to hold boxes I already have. Don't you hate when you have to un-stack to get to the one you want?
A sweet new birdie for my collection. I have a big collection of vintage canning jars that I have had for years and years. I am thinking it is time to part with some of those so I can make room for my ever-growing bird collection.
I am not sure what the little cards are. They say "Flowers from Bethlehem" along the bottom and each one s decorated with dried flower petals. I am sure someone will have a use for them so they will be headed to Etsy.
These will go to Etsy, too. Maybe. A set of three signed miniature Limoges plates with brass hangers. They would be SO pretty in a gold frame!
A vintage Androck flour sifter that still has the original paper label and five old Schilling spice tins. When I was washing them off I was surprised to discover that one of them was made of cardboard with a metal top and bottom. I didn't realize they ever made them from cardboard. Hopefully it won't dry too wonky and I lose it. All of this will be headed to Etsy, too.
A children's tea party set of Made in Japan Lusterwear dishes. These will probably be saved for a shadowbox.
Two thimbles for my non-collection. I'm still in denial on that one!
And a fun little 1966 book about the history of television programs. Some of us who are of a certain age can recognize these celebrities. Every page is illustrated with stills from the old shows. It distracted me through a whole quarter of the Seahawks game. Whoa! Doh!
Go Seahawks!!

That flour sifter sure is a neat find and I love your little birdie. You found lots of goodies! I got to go yesterday and found a few things...not a lot. But I think I'll group them together and show them off soon. Sweet hugs!
I especially love that little tea set. :-)
That book would have me distracted too, I recognize most of them. Great finds Kathy, I think my favorite is the flower sifter.
What fun finds. I love the colorful plates.
Ah yes, I remember the metal / cardboard "tins". Did I just date myself?
Rats, I guess I did.
Love all your finds Kathy! You have great thrifting radar.
Dang!!! I actually went to the VOA a couple weeks ago and found one little thing!! How do you do it? I do recognize the celebs in the book and am proud to say so!!!
Great finds once again and I love your birdie!!
Great finds! Love the sifter and sweet birdie planter! Happy new week Kathy! xo Heather
Well, it's true, you do find the best stuff! I look forward to seeing the shadow box that gets the tea set! I bet the book was a fascinating distraction!
