Estate Sale Finds- Randomness

Warmer weather means more opportunities to snag some thrifty treasures.  Today's collection of finds is quite a random mix of things, acquired over the last few months.  If you are a long-time reader, you might think I have a thing for deer.  It is true that I have featured a few deer on the blog.  But I bought this piece because it is cute (of course) but also because it is mint in the package.  These cardboard wall hangings are from the 1950-60s, and this one is in great condition.  Would be pretty cute in a nursery.

Another piece from the past....a vintage radio.  This radio has nice color and texture. And it looks like the Mercedes logo is on the front.  I wonder if there is any connection...I might have to research this.

These old fans are so neat, and I always wanted to own one myself.  This one came from an estate sale.    It is inoperable.  The cage is bent, so the fan blades don't turn.  But I like it for display.

Estate Sale Finds- Dollar Edition

It's that time again...where I share the stuff I found while thrifting. Today's items come from both estate sales and flea markets, but no item cost more that $1.  Let's take a look shall we...

First up is a little birdie salt/pepper shaker that is made to rest on the lip of a bowl. I guess there are occasions when you need easy access to your seasonings.  This little cutie only cost $1 from the flea market.

I purchased this puppy s&p shaker from the same dealer as the birdie. They were next to each other on  the table and seemed like friends, so I bought them both.  He was $1 too.

 I found these vintage mid-century table legs at an estate sale in the garage.  They are a little worn, but could be refinished with paint or stain. I always buy vintage hardware or table legs when I find them, because they are such versatile pieces.  Another buck...are you sensing a theme?

Finally this jadeite bowl.  At least I think it is jadeite.  It isn't marked, so it might not be authentic.  However the estate sale that I purchased it from also had other pieces of vintage glassware, so it is a possibility.  I only spent a quarter for it, so if it isn't the real thing I am ok with it. The color is fabulous.
