These were 3 of last weeks finds. Braydan and Tes actually used their allowance money to buy their things. Braydan has been non stop on this scooter he found at a garage sale, he thinks that he is pretty cool.
Tes found these beads at the yearly Yreka antique flea market. I wish they fit me, I love them. she also found an American Girl Bitty Baby at a garage sale for 1$ almost perfect. Nice finds for Tes. :)
And this is my find... of the season, I think. I just look at this quilt and it makes me happy. It was at the flea market and was marked as a cutter quilt. I don't think that I could ever cut it up I just needs a little mending on one side, and a few thread bare spots and it is perefct. It is so bright and cheerful...I love it. And just for FYI as I walked around the rest of the market I ran into an appraiser who saw the quilt tucked under my arm. She asked to see it and to make a long story short....she said it dates back to about 1915, hand quilted and worth between 50-75$. Score. I got it for 10.
