Mixed Bag

I have not had much luck at yard sales lately with the awesome vintage things but here are a few things I liked..

Squirrel Salt and Peppers!! I thought they had the cutest look on their faces!

 Poor Pitiful Pearl Doll. SOLD this is a newer version from the 60's maybe. My grandmother had my mothers in the original box and it sat on my shelf through high school.. dang I wish I had that one.

And this is a quilt top.AVAILABLE It was cheap enough to buy, but I have no clue what era it is from. It smells old.. lol. I would guess 30's-50's but I don't know. It needs to be turned into a quilt. It is about the size of a twin bed.

Cookie Cookie Cookie Jars!

SO, I have not been to any intersting sales as of late. Oh, I went out there but nothing has been awesome for weeks. This week, in fact, there were so many people out at yad sales that they were too picked through. Even for me. I usually can find treasures after everyone else has been to a sale. Not the last few weeks.

This week, I am showing off some cookie jars. The first one brings back memories for me. My mother died when I was 4 and one of the few things I do remember is her cookie jar. It looked just like the one below. I received this one as a wedding gift in 2005 when I married the love of my life, Eric.

These were made by a few different makers in the 60's The most sought after is California Potteries, this one was made in Japan but looks exactly the same. The next cookie jar I found a few years later at an estate sale and have not been able to find one like it. I think its a perfect companion to the one above.

The final cookie jar I found two weeks ago at the same yard sale as I found that old Madame Alexander Doll(sold on eBay finally) I bundled a bunch of stuff together and got a deal on the bundle. I want to list this on eBay next but have not found any that are similiar and this one looks more 1970's

I love the little elf, it is almost Keeblerish.. AVAILABLE

I can not resist showing off these adorable elephant teapot Salt and pepper shakers too.. These are going up for sale, because I don't collect them, but if they don't sell, they may go in my cabinet after all.

SOLD

If you see anything here you want let me know.. I can sell direct if you would like, or if you are searching for something specific, I can't promise Ill find it, but I will look!

The Awesome, it's Rad!

Here are a few of my more recent finds. I pick things up that interest me, are unusual or i have a feeling they may be worth a few bucks. I guess it's a smaller scale of "American Pickers" but I've been doing this for about 12 years on eBay.
This is a 1979 Rub a Dub Doggie. They were quite popular, you can make him shake the wate off of his head with a knob on his collar. He came with a bone shaped sponge originally.

This is a few salt and pepper shakers I found. I usually spend all summer searching yard sales for cheap pairs (like .25) and then sell them as a lot on eBay. They are fun..oh yeah, i have a pair of Salmon S&P's in the car.. I need to get organised.

This 1971 Charlie Tuna "Sorry Charlie" Scale. SOLD Has already been shipped off to Japan. I found it in a barn sale, on a shelf and behind some rusty crap. It didn't work but I bought it for $1 and sold it for about $40 if I remember correctly. It is super cute...
