After breakfast at Panera Bread with Landon and Don last Sunday, I snuck away to an antiques and collectibles sale in Yorktown while they played at the town’s track field and playground.
I had read about the sale in the paper and was looking forward to going to it for days.
There were only a few tables full of things, but I did find some thrifty treasures. The first thing that caught my eye was this wooden bucket, and after talking the seller down to $20 (instead of $25), it was coming home with me.
I also found this tiny bell for my mom’s bell collection.
I was interested in these vintage wooden spools, but they are more decorative than useful (the bucket now holds magazines in our living room!) so I didn’t buy them.
Instead, I bought a blue Ball glass jar for $2 and this vintage Dutch Masters tin for $2. After just having visited the Pennsylvania Amish, I just couldn’t pass it up! It joined my other vintage tins — I have quite a collection by now.
Pretty successful thrifting trip, don’t you think? I payed $25 for all of this:

Fabulous finds. Well done :-)
What great finds. I cannot believe that you found a trunk for $5.00. That is an amazing thrift score!
