Thrift Share Monday :)

Vintage "Get Well" Cards - Unused

Here are some of my finds from the storage/estate sale over the weekend. I was going to rest all day, but I needed to work on something after a difficult afternoon, so this was what came of it.

Dean's Childplay Fabric

This is fabric to reproduce antique dolls. There's no date on it, but I'm hoping it's desirable. Dean's Childplay dolls are really expensive if you find originals (fyi).

Victorian-esque Crewel Kit

So pretty :) I never get tired of finding vintage crewel kits. I did leave a bunch behind because they weren't pretty, or cool, or neat, or whatever it is that I look for. I'm glad I have a discerning eye of some sort.

Upholstery Top - Chair (3)

So I paid $0.50 each for three of these. Um...I don't know how old they are, but vintage upholstery? Ah-mazing. I know we had a super old chair like this when I was a kid. The seat wasn't attached to the chair, so you had to know just how to sit in it. The chair had a dark finish and lovely engraving at the top.

Well, my success over the past few days (I use the word success loosely, as almost everything has been listed, but they've only been up for the afternoon) has shown me that it is highly likely that at some point, I could easily end up with too much good stock. I am just now beginning to see how people end up storing stuff in the garage, and pulling it out as-needed. And of course, I am loving it more and more every day.
