Rummage Sale Finds
On Friday morning, my sister and I went to a local rummage sale. I wish I had taken a picture of the place and the crowd. It was insane and just to say the least, kind of gross.
But we braved pushed our way through the narrow aisles and I came away with these fabulous finds. I’m hoping that Kelly will post her “finds” soon, so I won’t steal her thunder. Let me just say that she got some super cool stuff AND we each only paid 4.50!
I’m always on the lookout for “Sunday books” including anything about animals or Bible stories. My Mom always read Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books to us when we were little, so I snatched this one up fast!
I bought this vase because it matches one that I already have so now I have a pair. The cups and saucers reminded me of my Granny’s china, so I had to have them. And the birdhouse was just so-cute!
My very favorite treasure from the sale was this book. It’s called Susie’s Babies. And this copy is from 1960! Susie’s Babies is a fantastic way to “teach” kids about the birds and the bees. I remember reading this book when I was probably around 10 years old. Things were just pretty obvious to me because I grew up on a farm, but this book was great in answering any questions. It is about an elementary school class who has hamsters…and you all know what hamsters do really well! Ha!
Anyway, I’m pumped about having this book in my own possession!
These candleholders did not come from the rummage sale, but one of my clients bought them for me for Christmas. I love them and just had to share a picture of them with you!
And yes, yet another picture of Fall!
God’s creation is just beautiful!
Prince Charming and I are getting our house cleaned and ready for a missionary reception that we are hosting at our house tonight. The missionary that’s flying in today is from Kenya. Africa has always been a burden on my heart and someday I want to go there on short-term missions. So, I’m really looking forward to learning more about the mission field and my heart is probably going to melt even more towards Africa!
Happy Monday, y’all!
Great finds! The cups and bowls remind me of one of those 'Mom and Pop' BFast type places! 🙂
I wish I could find good rummage sales around here. What great finds!
Those candle holders are marvelous!
what excellent finds! I love Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle!!
I love great finds like those! That birds and bees book sounds great! Looked like it was in great condition. Have a great night tonight. What a hospitable thing for you to open your home this evening! Can't wait to see what Kelly got :o)
What awesome finds!! So cool! Glad you all had fun!
Great finds! 🙂 And I LOVE the candleholders!!
I love all the stuff you got! The candleholders are amazing…so sweet of your client to get them for you! I will post my finds tonight, hopefully! 🙂
I love getting books at rummage sales! On a TOTALLY different note. I LOVE those curtains and chair!!! Sorry I am very random today. 🙂
Love, love, love the books you found. I love children's books…you can never have to many and you can never read to many to your children…
Hey there, Myra. Thanks for sharing your heart about short-term missions (among other things). You might want to check out Adventures In Missions (www.adventures.org) as one possible way to get to Africa. Blessings!
Such fun finds! Wish we could go rummagin' together!
