More Great Finds!!

I decided to share some of my latest finds for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday with Coastal Charm!

The garage sale angels are still looking out for me and led me to another wonderful sale this weekend!!
I picked up this cute little alarm clock and gorgeous hand mirror with a wonderful embossed design on the back!
I love this white ironstone vitamin jar ~ would be wonderful in an old medicine chest!!
Also a nice wood box with great old label!

I felt a little like one of the "American Pickers" at this sale! The old gentleman had alot of things hanging on his garage walls that weren't for sale ~ but I talked him out of a few!!!

This old tomato advertising piece was one of them!! I love it!!

Some old globes
...and how is this for a fun lamp???

made out of a parking meter!!

Or what about this one???

-made from an old candlestick telephone!!!

Lamps are a good seller at the Red Rooster ~ especially as unique as these two are!


This brass display shelf is my favorite find of the day!

Wonderful patina!

Very versatle for displaying treasures!!


The old guy told me it was a cigar display case ~ Sweet!!

Thanks for stopping by today! I appreciate you taking the time to check out what I've been up to!!

Now I'm off to check out all the other nifty treasures found out in blogland over the weekend!!!

Thrifty Finds

I paid a visit recently to my local Goodwill and found a few sweet little things! I love this lady figurine which I do believe is the top of a pincushion. The little Japan cup and saucer is just as cute as a button!! Also found this embossed pot ~ again I think this may be a Mc Coy!! Also scored these nice restaurant china bowls too.

Sweet pieces of vintage jewelry ~ a pin with lovely baubles and a souvenier bracelet from Washington D.C.

Then on Friday morning I stopped at about 5 or 6 garage sales--and I was rather successful!

These are such fun! Vintage store display pieces for sunglasses! I just wish I had a slew of old glasses to display on these!*! I paid a whoppin' 25cents each for these cuz the lady was cleaning out and wanted to get rid of them!! Happy day!!

At another sale I found this awesome old paper umbrella! I LOVE the pretty graphic blue & white!



She also had some lovely china pieces ...

wonderful biscuit tin with great color and a lovely old comb!

I found a few other things, but I'm saving all the white stuff for my next White Wednesday post!


But for today, I'm joining Linda at Coastal Charm for Nifty, Thrifty Tuesday!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Thriftin'!!!

Vintage Clocks

A short while ago, at one of my favorite junk shops, I found two old clocks that I thought would make great junk projects! My original intent was to take all the "innerds" out and then use them as display cases.So far I haven't had the heart to take this one apart. I cut the old cord off the back, but that's as far as I've gotten! I'm presently using it for a book-end!
Maybe someday I'll find something cool to do with it. But for now I'm enjoying just havin' it around!

This next one is in kinda' rough shape, so it should be an easier target for a make-over!

First, I took the face off and will save that for future use, or just sell it as is. Clock faces have really become a hot commodity!

Then I "stuffed" it with some vintage goodies that I had laying around. It really makes a cute little nook for what-nots!

I toyed with the idea of painting it black, but I may just stain over the scratches and leave it at that!

Pretty cute I think!

I'm linking up for the first time with Linda at Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday! Since I found these clocks out junkin' one day, I thought that qualifies!

Thanks for stopping by and now I'm off to get my linky and visit all the other thrifty blogs!!
