These bowls will be great for soup or salad. There are five pretty nice size bowls, one larger bowl, and two candle holders that match. All for $6.00.
Now this bag was in a small box and I just had to have it. I paid $2.00. But look what was in the box below the bag. I had no idea these were under the bag.
These are beautiful funeral fans. The colors are so vivid.
I imagine they were the air conditioning at one time!
I got these beautiful plates for $6.00.
And I bought these tablecloths at a garage sale for $3.00 each.
I love sailing!

Oh what fun!!! I love the green plates! They would work awesome for salad plates or for a tea with little sandwiches and deserts on them. I love flea markets, garage sales and auctions. Although I have not been to an auction in years. My younger brother use to have an auctioneers license but I don't think he does it any longer. I think between work and being a volunteer fireman in Rossville he must have gave it up.
ReplyDeleteI don't go to very many auctions, but I went to this one because I knew the lady (sort of) and I knew she had a lot of crafts. I could not believe all of the craft stuff. As I said, it's a good thing I had to leave early. I did go "sailing" yesterday with a friend and got some more goodies. Now I'm going to have to get rid of some stuff. I love to buy it, use it awhile, sell it, and look for something else! And I rarely use paper plates because I buy my dishes at garage sales, usually old ones, and I don't worry about their condition. If they get broken, oh well, I didn't have a matched set to begin with and they weren't my Great Great Grandma's plates! Cindy
ReplyDeleteOh yeah - Brenda. Remember when we first talked and I said I had relatives in Rossville. Well, my cousin's husband, Alan Hale, and my cousins daughter Tracy (can't remember her married last name) are Firemen (woman) by trade. Alan retired a couple of years ago. It's amazing how much we all have in common.

Wow Cindy those fans are really neat! I'm so glad they were an extra little surprise for you in your auction! :)
ReplyDeleteLUCKY YOU I REALLY LIKE THE BOWLS AND THE TABLECLOTHES WOW DON'T BRING THEM TO GRANNY BEES OR THEY MIGHT COME UP MISSING. HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT WEEKEND. MARILYN -0}
ReplyDeleteHi B,
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love 'good' surprises. I thought they were pretty too.
Cindy
Hi Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteI liked the bowls too. I got them because I have an entire set of dishes that they match, maybe not exactly, but close enough. I love picking up dishes here and there, and I use them whether they match or not. Doesn't ruin a "complete" set if one of them gets broken! The tablecloths..OMG you should see my stash. It's an addiction. I had a good weekend. Went to see Jimmy Buffet. I'll post it later. Cindy
