I usually limit my junking funds to $20-30 for a big rummage sale weekend, I rarely spend that much but sometimes the stars and planets are aligned just right and I hit several sales with great items and even better prices. This was one of those weekend at our city wide rummage sale. Here are just a few of my great purchases, none over $5.00.
 |
| unopened frames, silver tray, stamps, table runner, purple balls |
 |
| crystal lamp, green candle sticks, cool little table, maybe I'll paint it black, distress and replace knobs |
 |
| close up of table |
 |
| brass fly, it's really an ash tray, rose bowl and a pair of bobeches with prisms for 50 cents |
 |
| a giant brass urn, it's big enough to hold everyone in the family's ashes if we all decided on cremation. I can hear the groans of my kids now! |
 |
| three tier display stand for VCB, two silver trays and off in the corner a vintage copper match box |
along with an old spindle
 |
| two wood frames, two wood boxes and tow chunky candle sticks |
 |
| fun purple bottle |
 |
My prize of the week end. Can you guess what it is? It's a glass and lead city street light shade. It's at least 24" tall and heavy as can be. I have been looking for one of these for several years. I paid $3.00 SCORE!!!
You just have to keep your eyes and mind open to find the treasures in all the junk. |
