Last Weekend's Junk

I only had time for the VOA and Nina and Joe's Division Street Antiques last weekend but still got a nice little junk score. I hit the Mother Lode of vintage crochet pattern books at the VOA. They will eventually be listed in my Esty.

These vintage salt and pepper shakers are already listed. The frosted glass has a cool art-deco design. The tops are plastic but have that perfect Jadeite green color we all know and love!

A few neat buttons for the collection. Love that poodle in the lower right!

I think this wooden hand is a business card holder but it is a body part so you know I love it and it will be staying with me, at least for a while!
