Junk Shopping

Set out this morning to the local church rummage sales! Found the first one…didn’t buy a thing. Spent an hour driving around and couldn’t find church number 2. Finally I just gave up. Headed back to town for church number 3 (I knew where it was). Stopped for a yard sale…

Scored the black and white enamel bracelet. Thought it was cool! Did all my shopping today at church number 3. The hand crocheted bag above…

An added bonus – the hankies were inside! A set of embroidered napkins…

A shopping bag full of books and a fruit basket.

And my absolute favorite…LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this coat…

A vintage coat from a store that closed its doors at least 40 years ago and IT FITS!!!

A happy, happy rummaging day!

Hope you had a happy, happy day too!

  1. Jackpot!!!! What a beautiful coat! No blingy buttons??? ;)
    I laughed when I read you got lost finding Church #2...remember how many times we almost missed a turn (or did & had to turn around) when my car would automatically stop at a yard sale sign before we even SAW the sign??? You need to train your Ford to do that!!!!
    I miss you!
    everything vintage

  3. Very nice finds! I love it when you get the little extra gifts tucked inside. My favorite find was a sewing basket that included the vintage buttons and sewing notions :)

  5. I love the fruit basket. Don't you love after a day of shopping going home and spreading out all of your treasures to see what you got all over again! Fun day.
