This weekend's thrift scores!

I found a few things this weekend - not a ton, but some fun stuff, including a mystery item I need your help with!

I FINALLY found a Burwood word clock (not the CLOCK one - I will keep that if I ever find it!). I haven't tested it yet to see if it works, so keep your fingers crossed for me! Besides that, I scored a Betty Crocker's New Picture Cookbook (check out some of these sold prices and you will see why I never leave one of those behind!). The gingerbread man cookie jar, lighted Christmas tree topper, and Josef Originals Santa & Mrs. Claus shaker set were fun finds all from the same estate sale... And finally a box of 1970's Chemex coffee filters - hopefully someone with a vintage Chemex coffee maker will want some original filters to go with it!

Hiding in the back behind the cool glass bottles with cork lids is a really nice Denby coffee pot, and a Sun Tea jar. Up front is a neat vintage mirror/brush/comb set, and a West Bend slow cooker. The final item is the one I need some help with:

It's a quite large vintage Orange Slice serving tray - it is made of either paper mache or a very lightweight wood, and looks hand decorated. It is signed, but I can't make out what it says:

I did some searching around but couldn't find another one like it - if any of you have any ideas, please do leave a comment and let me know!

As always, if there is anything here that you are interested in, just drop me a line at vintagegoodness@gmail.com!

New goodness on eBay and Etsy this week!

I got sidetracked this week and didn't get a chance to do a haul post showing what I found out at the sales last weekend - but luckily, I got almost everything listed this week, both on eBay and on Etsy. So settle in, I've got quite a lot to show you! Have I mentioned how happy I am that sale season is finally here? ;)

New goodness at auction on eBay this week!

I got most everything listed that I posted about in my thrift score post last weekend, except for a couple things I set aside to list on Etsy, before I promptly lost the inventory sheets for them. I'm sure I put them somewhere "safe" so I wouldn't lose them, and now I can't remember where that "safe" spot is... So I'll have to write up new sheets probably, get them listed - and then immediately remember where I put the first batch.

I also listed a few other things that I've had on my would-you-list-me-already-I've-been-sitting-here-for-months shelves, but those shelves are looking pretty bare as of now, as they do every year at this time. Of course I have a metric ton of paper waiting to be listed on Etsy, as always... Plus, I had another good weekend shopping some estate sales and church sales, so I'll have fresh new stuff to list next week - stay tuned for a thrift score post on all that tomorrow!

This weekend's thrift scores!



It's church sale season - hooray!! I hit 3 this weekend, plus 2 estate sales and one thrift store. I didn't come home with quite as much as I was hoping for, but not a bad bunch of goodies when it's all said and done... :)

Forgive the terrible photo, I was having trouble with the lights glaring too much on the globe and the bowling bag... The embroidered flowers in the back are WAY cooler than they look here! And that is an original 1986 Jenga game you see there - did anyone else think that was just the best thing EVER back in the 80's?

Those brass deer are HUGE - they are by far my favorite find of the weekend. The Raggedy Ann and Andy bookends come in a close second though!

I'll probably be getting all this stuff listed this week, but if there is something you are interested in, just drop me a line at vintagegoodness@gmail.com! :)
