Friday and Saturday Plunder

 My junking on Friday and Saturday wasn't re-letter but I was able to gather some plunder that made me happy.  I hit the SST, Division Street Antiques plus one estate sale.  It was advertised as a digger but really wasn't.  I did come away with a nice button score and a big pile of embroidery floss.

 The NOS pillow case set, glass apothecary, crochet napkin holder and 60s vase all came from a quick trip to the SST on my lunch hour Friday.  I need to Google about Blenko glass and try to figure out if this is the real deal or not.  Do any of you collect Blenko or know about it?  It will be added to my DIL's colored glass collection.

 The very crusty old typewriter and the keys are from Nina and Joe's (Division Street Antiques).  It was a last chance purchase before they head east on their annual month-long buying trip.  It is still sitting on my work table because it weighs about a MILLION pounds and must be made of lead.  The keys are not frozen but it is in pretty rough shape but will still make an interesting display piece.  For $6 it can be a doorstop!

 A few little bits picked out of the button sack.  The napkin holder was brown from age but some Oxy worked it's magic and it is ready to add to someone's blue cottage kitchen..

 I have so many keys already and it is time to start passing them along.  There are some really neat shapes in this batch..

 There are some great buttons in this lot and I promise I will not forget to photography my favorites before I put them away this time.

I was delighted that these buttons were clean and had very few strings.  Clearly a button-saver who respected the buttons.  A woman by my own heart!
I went out again today but that will be another post.  I really need to put myself in time-out until I get some of this stuff listed!!

Just A Little Bit

 I was exhausted from the week so the only junking I ventured out for was the old, reliable VOA.  Okay, I went twice, but who's counting...  On the first trip I came home with the Faberge hankies in original box and the little padded picture in the plastic frame.  That will go into the pile of fodder for future wunderkammers.

 I passed on the glass ball and the metal purse on the first pass.  The little purse was $7.99 but I don't think it is very old so I waffled on it. On the way home I stopped at the library to pick up my stack of picture books that came in on hold.  I got 4 Steampunk books.  When I quickly flipped through them I realized I NEEDED to own that glass ball and the little purse.  Just in case I might NEED them, you know?  I was glad I went back because the green ball vase had magically appeared.  I gave a DIL the two blue one I had last weekend because she said she wanted to collect colored glass.  Well, now she has three and you know what that means.

I am positive this crackly glass ball can be the start of something remarkable.  Or at least cool.
