weekly vintage finds - hawaiian girl

here are a few little trinkets i  picked up at a local yard sale this weekend…

*vintage christmas reindeer - made in japan - $2
*vintage patterned bias trim - $.10 cents
*3 plastic cake decorations w/ moveable legs - $1
*vintage hula doll w/ moveable parts - $2

i am totally in love with the vintage doll, which still has its original rubber band parts attaching the moveable head, arms & legs to the body. she's super fragile so i'm putting her straight into my curiosity cabinet. i love her sea-shell top, green plastic pleated skirt & those adorable white summer sandals. i hope you are all having a great week so far!

here are a few pics of this weekend's vintage finds. i went to an estate sale on '50% off' day hoping to score a porcelain glove mold (no go!) but instead walked away with a few other unexpected treasures:

*vintage cloth doll - $.50 cents

*sarah vaughan double 45 - $.25 cents

*vintage porcelain doll - $1.50

*vintage tea cup - $.25 cents

all in all, it was a great weekend for treasure hunting… hope your weekend has been full of treasures too!

not much garage sale activity this week… but, one interesting thing i picked up was an old scrapbook filled with circus memorabilia, old magazine shots of little girls posing w/ animals (like the ones above,) and several vintage pics of puppies & kittens - adorable!

total cost? … only 25 cents!

weekly vintage finds

since i spend so much of my time attending sales & auctions in search of vintage clothing, i thought it might be fun to start sharing with you some of the odds & ends i end up with along the way. it's officially "garage sale season" around here - my favorite time of year - and, no matter where i go i always seem to come home with some interesting, cute or useful thing (or a combination of them all.)

here's what i picked up today for $6:

*half dozen crochet covered clothes hangers
*vintage christmas soldier boy ornament (made in japan)
*vintage black bow tie
*pair of heavy-duty scissors
*large vintage magnifying glass
*vintage 'ideal' baby crib shoes
*vintage embroidered baby's dress
