This weekend I attended a well rounded mix of garage sales, estate sales and a rummage sale. I found some good things! Above is my favorite find of the weekend. It is a sterling napkin ring engraved with the name Clara. My grandmother's name was Clara. It is well worn - and tarnished beyond repair in some spots, but I love it.
This is a brass frog salt cellar set, with spoons. It looks very bright green in the picture, but it is a more worn and brown/green in person.
A cake server with a bakelite handle, and a gravy ladle.
The ladle is "birds of paradise" pattern.
An assortment of vintage pillow cases, most of them have embroidered designs. I am planning to make more pillowcase dresses, and hopefully eventually list them on etsy.com
Two sets of book cards - to write your name on and place in your books. If you lose your book, it will be returned to it's rightful owner (hopefully!)
A large ceramic cat.
Fall is coming soon! Some potential fall/halloween decorations....A wood tray with hand painted pumpkins.
A little stone mouse.
And a large skull - it is open in the center, you could sit a candle in it.
A scary little witch sitting on a bench with a bat watching over her.
