Super goodies. I bet Home Depot could match that green.
We stopped at a sale on Saturday and picked up some steak knives
still in their sleeves, a "meatloaf" baking dish and a cute little teapot that
looks like a sunflower with a ladybug on top.

I had a good venture out into the estate and garage sales on Saturday, and I wasn't even trying. This post made me laugh out loud for real. I, too, pick up cool old scissors and once found a pair that look like yours, but a bit longer. There was a super cool note attached to them that explained they had belonged to the lady's father and he was a wallpaper hanger, by trade. I snatched em up and left the note on them. What a sweet story! I just found your website and Pinterest.... guess I'll be up all night! <3

I think that the scissors are tailors scissors and the spatulas are salad servers! xx

Could the "spatulas" actually be for serving salads? I have a vase very similar to the one you bought (without the handles) and use it all of the time. Looks beautiful with blue hydrangea blooms in it.

That green is the best color! I bet it could be color matched. Then you can sell it exclusively on your blog and become a millionaire. Good idea, huh?

You always find cool stuff. I agree about that color green. I have always wanted to go to that World's Longest Yard Sale--I think it would be heaven. :)

My Dad has his Mother's dressmaking shears. They look just like those - big and heavy. He still takes them somewhere to get sharpened. I was never allowed to touch them and I am still kind of scared to get near them I have that same garden tool hanging on my garden hose wreath on my front door. The chippy old handle is the exact same. Also, pottery for a quarter? YES!

In reply to Joanne Noragon. Maybe even a little steel wool too. They're a little rusty.
