Found This Week (June 5) - A bit of Everything

A cartfull

A ton and a half of sheet music

Great kiddie books

And

the most AWESOME

yellow

Skyway

train case

Complete with VINTAGE tag

It's going in the shop

And it will cost ya

but I'll refund a chunk of the price

If you open it up

And shoot me a photo

of what is inside

Something is in it

Alas, I don't have the key

And I kinda don't want to just bust it open

But I'm also kinda curious...

Sellers Remorse | 2011 Spring ROA sale

Sigh. 
The annual spring ROA community sale was awesome.

Friday,
not so much.

Saturday - told everyone
everything
was 50% off

And stuff FLEW

The things I MOST regret selling:

Look closely.

2nd shelf

far right bookshelf

that big wooden button on a stand for $1.50

sigh.

This gorgeous writing desk and chair

which I scored for

(gulp)

FREE!!

and it still pained me to part with

the lovely writers desk for $80

she wanted it so bad

she probably would have paid $150 for it

if she had the cash on her.

Leaning up against the chair

is a white knobbed

shower curtain rod

That was sold to a lovely lady

who also took my waffle weave shower curtain

(true enough)

I have like 14 waffle weave shower curtains

and only two bathrooms to hang curtains in

but still

$7.50 for the rod and curtain

Tomorrow

I'll show ya what I got in exchange

for my sacrifices

Note to self

Buy a TON of DVDs

because that is what folks want to buy

As a sweet aside,

thank you tons to Sarah

who said that my sale was the most interesting

most beautiful

most gorgeous

on the ridge

Ahhh.

Said one of TWO people

(I kid you not)

who stopped by on Friday.

Next time,

CL ads for reals.

Saturday only

3 hours then shop.

And DON'T FORGET CVES ONE STOP!!

Right.

Found This Week (May 8) | Kiddie School desk

I found lots of great pieces this week.

My fave find was this kiddie school desk

Now. This was not anything like

the Great Estate Sale Find of all Times

But.  I did find it at the Renton Goodwill

They also had (still have I think)

a bigger kid vintage school desk

This one (and that one too, when I bought this one)

was 50% off if you took it home with you

at the time of purchase.

If you had to come back for it, it was only 30% off.

It is really REALLY beat up

But that makes me love it more

On the fence about refinishing it

or leaving it as is.

Linking up at Rhoda's Thrifty Treasure Monday @ Southern Hospitality
Linking up to Funky Junk's Themed Vintage Link Party

Maybe they'll have some ideas

And I'll get ideas of what else I want to start collecting.

Vintage Finds | Two French Hens - Bingo Cards

I love some bingo

Not like my mom and auntie do

but it reminds me of my granny

and how I got to spend lots of

quality time with her

at the bingo hall

I love the blotters

but I imagine

that if I would have had these

really unique, reusable

very sustainable

bingo cards

from back in the day

Vnacouver, WA antique bingo card

I would still find my way

to the bingo hall today.

Two French Hens

is a great little store

right next door to my

fave thrift store of all times

It is in Burien

right next to the Salvation Army

They also have a nursery

right next door

That I think I may have to visit

this spring.

What are some of your fave antique markets?
