I have one that was my Grandmother's that always had her snake plant in it. That sort of started the whole search for more of them 🙂

There are no good yard sales in my area. There are estate sales where people line up and bid on expensive items or there are garage sales, where people sell their old baby clothes. I want to see the kind of treasures you found!!

I save those for indoors. And finding vintage glass Christmas ornaments is like finding treasure! Beautiful!

I wish all of the sales here included treasures like the ones you found... Shiny Brites, Santa and that gorgeous McCoy vase. Great finds! Enjoy the Country Living Fair. Can't wait to see what you find!

I did hit one good one earlier in the summer but I think I used up all my luck on that one sale. Doesn't keep me from looking, though! I am heading west this weekend for the Country Living and Springfield Extravaganza, too! Apparently there is also a Fiestaware tent sale happening near the Country Living Fair, so it will be a fabulous trifecta. I have never been to Springfield before, so I am particularly excited about that one!

You have me hooked on thermos now! I am waiting to see which one of mine will become a lamp. I don't want to be hasty! LOL!! Have a great time at the Country Living Fair. I want to go so since I can't - be sure and share some photos. Please. Dianne

Your thermoses (thermosii?) are the bomb! I especially like the one with the diamond 3D design running down the body of the thermos.
Good for you for asking the ornament lady for the bargain. If you don't ask, you don't get, right?!
Kudos for such a productive day.

Our garage sales this year were few and far
between...the neighborhood sales were so early
that they are barely a memory.

The best thing I got at a sale was a White House ornament.
I practically ran from that sale before the lady realized what
she sold and for how much. Thes ornaments are so pretty,
each one is so detailed and intracat.

You just got me excited for Christmas (but I guess that's easily done since I'm one of those Christmas nuts who starts shopping and planning in August...I'm kind of late this year, actually). I love Shiny Brites, you also don't want to know what I spent to have real lead tinsel imported from Austria (lead tinsel being banned here in the 1960s, but I don't have any pets or kids, so whatever to having toxic things hanging off my tree, haha, the modern day plastic tinsel doesn't hang the same).

Also, I was just thinking of you the other day, reading a book called "Collected: Living With The Things You Love" and there was an amazing thermos collection in there. I looked it up online, and I think this it it: I meanhttp://www.acontinuouslean.com/2013/03/20/the-great-american-thermos-hoard/, tell me your mind is not blown?! My jaw dropped a little.
