Scoping the Globe...

For the past month,

I've been scoping the globe,

at least my little part of it...

and  to no avail have I found any good junk to resale in my booth.

I was getting a tad worried with the junkin' drought I'd encountered.

I suppose it's just too hot in our parts,

for anyone to be cleaning out closets and hauling their goods to the thrift stores,

let alone have a yard sale in the oppressive heat!

But over the last week,

my luck seems to have changed.

I hit a few good yard sales in our area, 

{three to be exact! ha!}

and picked up some interesting finds at the local thrift stores.

The burlap handmade doll is the real deal.

Authentic old tobacco sheet burlap, found at an estate yard sale.

And I just love the dog statue, below.

 ...one of my favorite finds of the week.

He's made of a heavy resin material,

but has a bronze look!

An interesting old picture...

A George F. Cram Co. Globe,

and clean, like-new wicker large tray...

The milk glass cup and saucer set was made in France,

by Arcopal .

Really pretty, this was a name I wasn't familiar with.

The beautiful red scarf, was a SA find!

And a midst a table of nothing but dollar store junk at a yard sale, so not the good junk,

I found the great mod orange daisy print Sugar, Salt and Pepper set below for 75 cents!!!

I scanned the sale so quickly, I almost missed it!

The large battenburg lace tablecloth and ten napkins

is in pristine condition!

It was starched, straight from the cleaners,

and the saleslady at the SA started bundling it up to stuff in a bag 

before I could stop her! 

I cringed as I counted the wrinkles! :(

Still a super deal, at $4.99 for the set!

At the estate yard sale,

I also found the old ladder, tobacco basket,

and two sets of mule harnesses and single tree.

Got it all for $40!

Not bad for a week's search, if I do say so myself!

And the prices were good, can't beat that!

 As I was unwrapping my wares when I got home,

which is just like Christmas to me,

I found that someone has been passing the hot days

with the puzzles in the paper.

I'm ashamed to say, I've never seen one completed! ha! 

I was impressed! :)
