Fun Weekend Finds
I spent the weekend at my Grandma’s house and we did a little antique/boutique shop crawl! I didn’t go too crazy, but found a few great deals. The Golden books were $1 each. I seem to be collecting books with old cat illustrations now. I got the entire spool of heavy red pet leash-type material for $5.25. I have no idea what I’m going to do with it, but it seemed like such a good deal… The old blue canning jars were $2.50 each - I think I’ll be using them for craft supply storage! As for that bag of beads, when I first spied it, I immediately thought they were plastic due to the bright colors. I poked the bag, and was surprised to find that it was rather heavy. A big bag of Czech glass beads for $2!! The yellow depression glass sherbet glasses were $5 each. They are in a desirable parrot pattern, and I was informed by my father-in-law that they are worth $30 a piece.
The pretty clear cut glasses were only $2 each.
When I lived in PA, there were all these farm houses being bought up by the DOT and they would sell those beautiful ball jars for .25$ a piece. Dang! I wish I had bought more. I see them around for like 7$ a piece!
