I started auditioning things in the shelves this weekend and
Annette was sure right, it swallowed up WAY more of my hoard than I thought it would. I visited my soon to be departed VOA, Nina and Joe's and one estate sale to add to my depleted stockpile. The Husband wasn't too thrilled with the neighborhood where the estate sale was being held so I bribed him to go along with MEAT. There is a great meat market on the route so I mentioned we could stop on the way home and he bit - whew!
I used to avoid holiday items because I didn't want to store them from one season to the next for Etsy. Now I am going to need to "play along" with the holiday decor so I snapped up these little turkeys for Thanksgiving. The plates are Avon Cape Cod and I find two sets in original boxes. The pink heart is a baby bathwater thermometer.
The pincushion will be heading to the booth but the birdies are staying right here with me.
The VOA had everything marked down 20% so I grabbed a bunch of The Old Curiosity Shop dishes. Fingers crossed that was a good move.
I am such a sucker for vintage linens, especially with crochet.
Doesn't everybody want a vintage prune juice bottle?? The tiny little suitcase is the smallest I have found. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to part with it, at least not right away. The two beige pieces in the lower right are vintage half slips.
The big pink dish is Haegar.
Still on the hunt but feeling like I have a better "cushion" now after filling up those shelves. Pictures of the audition are coming soon!
