MORE Treasure

The problem now with having this little space in the store.. is everything I find.. I want to keep!

How do I part with stuff I find that is so wonderful?

Yesterday my friend Karen and I hit an estate sale near my house. On saturdays everything is usually 1/2 price so if you find something the day before that you don't want to spend a chunk of change for you can play your odds and go back on Saturday to see if it is still there.

Karen bought this beautiful red and black magazine holder for cheap!

We came away with some great finds! Then after the estate sale we hit Bayview Antiques where we found more goodies! OH.. just too cool to part with.. I definitely need to "deal" with this issue! :)

This is a fabulous old sewing bag, old safe,and old doll & stuffed animals I bought.

 

The dolly is so ugly she's cute.. and from the looks of her (all stitched up in the back) was well loved and well worn.

Typewriters and Crappy Chairs

Some treasures,,,,

I picked up this chair at an estate sale today! It will go in my store.. I got this one and another just like it. They are SO crappy they're beautiful! It speaks of good use, several room painting projects, probably lots of family functions, and the stool to grab the maple syrup out of the top cupboard!

I have 3 typewriters displayed in my living room. I never consciously collected them, but they seem to be breeding. Something I just love about old typewriters, their black regal look, the concept behind them and how they completely turned a century upside down or around, and OHHHH the stories THEY could tell! Although I LOVE the keys.. I don't think I will ever have the heart to saw them off to use in my artwork.

These three typewriters (now that makes 6) I recently acquired. The one on the left was given to me by my absolutely adorable neighbor as a friendly gesture (after seeing the 3 I have in the living room) the one in the front is one I picked up at the thrift store for $9.99 and the back one I bought today at the estate sale as well.

Another little treasure

Little girl doll

I found this little girl doll along with her little brother and sister recently. They are the cutest things! I am not sure what kind of dolls they are. (??) They are bendable but their faces are harder and covered with some sort of material. Does anyone have a clue? Or has anyone ever seen these before??

Here is her little brother and sister..
