I love his wooden trawler and have been wanting one for a while, and it was only $6 but...I remained strong. The wooden pitcher beside it is pretty cool too.
The gumball machine - the Metaxa bottle - the glass canisters.. so much temptation.
Pretty blue and sunflower pitcher, would look nice in a blue and white collection.
I love earthenware.
If it didn't say golf fund... and the sake bottle beside it is cute. They also had a huge assortment of white milk glass vases, including some large ones that I had the strength to take out of my cart - Shannon - I thought of you!
So many mason jars! Big and little - I came home with 3 big ones, couldn't help it. I love that they said Dominion Jar and Canadian made.
Um, amazing! The price tag was ripped so I can't tell you how much but it IS Value Village so it couldn't be much...
I wanted all 3 of these - the little person wicker chair, the brass magazine rack, and especially that rocker! In fact, I am still thinking about it. $15!! May have to go back...
So many tempting books - I ended up with 3. I passed on the ones here - I have a ton of William Morris that are better quality and didn't know how often I would consult the sewing book, although it was great. And the kids encyclopedia set from 1970 was beautiful.
So what did I end up with? Well, this lovely pottery pot I thought would look pretty in the kitchen full of wooden spoons, an ironstone creamer, that pretty plate I thought would be nice under a plant (My in-laws have all their china from the Czech Republic in that pattern), and the glass and silver serving dish - something I noticed I was lacking when we had our Christmas party! I also got a small brass planter, 2 woven leather belts, 3 books, a brown corduroy blazer, and a whole bunch of Ukrainian (or maybe Polish?) linens - I will take a picture when I get them out of the freezer (I got paranoid about bed bugs on the way home!!) But I am still thinking of that rocker...and I forgot to check for yarn...maybe I should go back? Anyone want me to pick up anything? :-)
What a fun day off! You have sooo much will power!
ReplyDeleteYes! I want the trawler - seriously, if you go back, please grab it for me. I love the pottery you got (surprise, surprise). Hope the press approvals went well. Miss you guys.
ReplyDeleteNice to see that TSO water bottle finally show up in a place where it belongs.

Wow! you did stay strong. I couldnt have left without the gumball machine, magazine rack and sewing machine. Way to go! xo
ReplyDeleteI would have also picked up the gumball machine and the magazine rack.
ReplyDeleteI still have my Childrens Encyclopaedia Britannicas - pretty much mint condition. Hanging onto them for the nieces and nephew. I loved them growing up.
