Treasures!

Hubby and I went to a local estate sale:


I've always wanted a set, but could never afford it.
In perfect condition, too - not one chip on either piece!!!!    



This old cigar box held some surprises, too:





An old corkscrew:


Needles from Japan - not a one was rusty!





Did not expect to see this:

All made in Germany
And inside was: 


This little box was a real treat:



Chicken recipe cards!!



All of the above for only $20.00!!!!

:o)

  1. Wow! What a great estate sale. I love the pitcher and bowl set and the needle cards speak to my sewing soul. But my favorite of your treasures has to be the chicken recipe cards. Well done.

  2. What a find. All I usually see is either junque or over priced but I am usually at an antique store or yard sale. Need to start checking out estate sales more often. I REALLY NEED more good stuff. :)

    1. This was at an old house - the guy's parents had passed away and he was moving out of state but wanted the items to go to people who would appreciate the older items.

    1. You would have loved it Gorges - plenty of old farm tools in the barn!

  6. Nice finds and only $20!!! I always look for old tea cups. I remember an old needlebook like that from my childhood. Must have been my grandmothers..I am fairly certain my mother never sewed anything!

    1. It was odd - no dishes whatsoever. Maybe someone got to them before we got there.
      I was surprised to find the pitcher and washbowl just sitting on top of a work bench!
