Weekend Finds

First I went to this antique estate sale here in town and everything was great old stuff. I had no intention of buying any more dishes however this green transferware covered casserole dish was priced very reasonable and I liked the pattern. So home it came with me to set on a shelf and collect dust.
The ladies pictures in the background is my Grandmother on the right and some of her girlfriends when she was young and not married. She was born 1907. The brown transfeware pitcher was her sisters born 1905. My Aunt Ollie loved antique dishes                                                          
Then this lamp was my surprise for the day.I love the lamp shade pattern. I have several old books with this pattern on the covers and page ends. I have it setting on a small leather book. It's a very small lamp.
I had been looking for a large wooden dough board and maybe this is a knockoff maybe new? however I liked it size. I might add some lemon oil to darken it a little. No white paint for her now?
This cool Fox pin has a rhinestone tail and head and collar then enameled red tongue and ears. I got it at a yard sale where 2 ladies had everything vintage or antique. I wish I had made it to their sale earlier. I did get a lot of little things there, like lot rhinestone jewelry for projects. He was priced to come home with me. All the jewelry was 25 cents to $2.50. He reminds me of that song out last summer What Does The Fox Say. Remember it ?

That is some of my finds for last weekend.

  4. Janice, I love the green transferware and fox pin! So what if the dough bowl may be a little newer, who knows for certain? It's a great shape, and the lemon oil will be good for it. Enjoy your new treasures!

  11. Janice,
    Great finds! Transfer ware of any color always appeals to me. My grandmother's name was Ollie Bee so I was happy to see your Aunt's name was also Ollie. That is one of those names that is no longer in style.
