Yard Sale Finds

You could really call me the reluctant yard saler.  A friend called this weekend and told me of this great estate sale (which, in our town, is just a yard sale where the grown children are liquifying the estate of the said downsizing relative)Anyway, the yard sale was full of some nice mid-century vintage kitchen ware.  But, being in the mood for back to school and fall, I spied this adorable little world globe for $1.  I am sure I had one of these when I was a kid, it is a bank and I got the bonus of a 1945 penny inside.

Now, once I was awake and yard selling you can't stop me.  So I have to check out a few more.  I found this adorable little ironstone pitcher for 50 cents!!  I was a happy woman, definitely worth waking up for.  Did I mention it was 10:30 AM when I got this wake up call, well school starts soon and no more sleeping in. 

We hit the yard sales pretty late so hubs mentions we could head up to my favorite antique shop.  Always loving his spontaneity, I am game for it.  I found this 1969 Illinois license plate in the Illini colors which is perfect for a fall vignette.  This was just $5.

More fall goodness in this spectacular paint-by-number for only $6.  Don't you love fantastic finds!
