It was another rainy Saturday here in sunny California.... which meant zero yard sales. I did however attend an outdoor antique show & sale in the next town over. I like to see what antiques are being sold for now-a-days-- especially the jewelry. Yikes, things are pricey! I came across tables and tables of shiny bling only to be devastated to hear that they ranged in price from $20 and up. What? geeze..... That being said. I did manage to get this huge lot of jewelry for $10.... I know right?... I'm lucky like that. These two watches are my favorites out of all of it.... love 'em! I then came across a huge wooden box of keys... the asking price was $15, I paid $8 for the lot. While looking at them, my husband asked me, "What do you need all those keys for?".... "Ooooooooh shut up," I said...... he carried my bags of keys to the car. Of course I had to weigh them when I got home.... they came in at six pounds. Six pounds of keys! While placing them on this tray, I found a vintage Ford key. This one I am going to make into something special to hang from my '66 Mustang's mirror. I love-love-love that car! Not to shabby for a rainy, overcast weekend. I've linked up to "Thrift Share Monday" Also, "Her Library Adventures"
I'd say you did all right! I love to see what you do with your treasures. You are very creative.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you do with that Ford key!
ReplyDelete"What do you want all those keys for". Snort. Just like a man, huh? ;-) What a lucky girl you are!! All the keys and all the jewelry for $18?! Woohoo! And you have a '66 Mustang? Yep. A really lucky girl. That was one of the first cars I ever noticed. My cute, older neighbor drove one. It was butter yellow. I have such fond memories of seeing it ride past my house.
ReplyDeleteI love your play yard! Thanks for the tip about the tat!!! I had no clue-yikes!
