kluless: Latest Junk Finds

I am still fenced in by the driving bubble but managed to get a good junk fix between the VOA and Nina and Joe's Division Street Antiques. Several of these finds will be staying with me. A new Forest Green bowl to add to my collection, three new bird figurines and that vintage straight-sided measuring cup at the top left.

My latest obsession - doll heads. The eyes are what get me. Wouldn't you think she would have a little less attitude when I just rescued her?

I'm a sucker for anything French and was happy to find this pretty blue card of bone curtain rings mixed in a bag of buttons. Love love the "Grandma Green" button and buckle set!

I have always wanted one of these shoe cobbler things. I don't know what they are called. I haven't decided if I will keep the bird plate or pass it along. The bird figurines on it are very dimensional. I have been looking around the house and haven't spotted a place for it but will probably let it "steep" for a while.

The bag of buttons was small but turned out is was an amazing assortment and at least half are keepers. They are all soaking now and I will do a separate post once they are clean and sorted.
A good junk fix is good medicine!

Maureen said...: Well, some dolls just have attitude now, don't they? Must be a teenager. They are perfectionists at the rolling eyes technique. Neat finds Kathy!; March 9, 2014 at 5:21 PM

Into Vintage said...: I still haven't been to Nina and Joe's but it's on my list for this coming week when I head over that direction. Doll heads have been a big seller for me on etsy which is great but no one ever tells me what they plan on doing with them. :); March 9, 2014 at 9:59 PM

Celestina Marie said...: Hi Kathy, looks like you found some great treasures on your hunt. Love the buttons and the doll head is sweet. Reminds me of the tiny tears doll I had as a kid. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for her! I'm sure she'll adjust the attitude now that she's in a good home!!
Have a great week.

Annette said...: You are the only other person I know who collects forest green bowls. I collect all the forest green things, dishes, bowl, vases, pitchers, but over the years have gotten so many I have purged some of the collection. I love your bird plate and the figurines. Doll heads aren't for me but I like the buttons!; March 10, 2014 at 9:16 AM
Annette said...: Is that another head in the shoe thing?! At least the other head has a sweet smile while she rolls her eyes!; March 10, 2014 at 3:30 PM
The Polka Dot Closet said...: That honey hole just keeps on giving! Man that was a great bag of buttons and that doll head cracks me up!
