Yesterday morning (before babysitting) I passed by a sign pointing toward a yard sale.....I made the turn.....and was rewarded for my effort! I found this charming little red pump priced at $4 .....perfect for the lake house.......
This large wicker covered jar was in great condition and a steal.....
This crock stands 17 inches tall.....it was the same price as the number on it.... $5!
Two weeks ago at the sale at the school across the street I found these apothecary bottles.....I am kicking myself now because they were in a box with beakers and other lab equipment.....I should have taken the glass beakers too!
Also at that sale were 2 pretty blue plates and some striped ticking fabric.........
At our church sale I found an old jewelry box with green velvet interior....sealing wax (note the price sticker..25 cents), an old brass and enamel flask and shapes for a cookie dough press (also 25 cents)....
These two very old mourning cards below were a bit sad.....the two men were so young when they passed ...but the die cut was interesting and the flowers sweet....I had to rescue them.....
So those were some of my recent finds.....actually I dragged a dressing table with a large triple mirror out of the dumpster after the sale across the street......
another little project for Rob....
Have you found anything special in your junking journeys these last few weeks?

Beautiful things, but such sad little cards. It's so good that someone is going to preserve them, though. I have few prospects of more finds until French Mothers' Day (7th June), so I think I can hold out until then, just looking at everyone elses' wonderful hauls...
