My Top Ten Finds in 2012
January 01, 2013
In 2012, I shared the loot on most of my thrifting and garage sale trips. Here are some of the highlights:
In July I purchased this Cram's Terrestrial 12 Inch Globe for $10 at a thrifty consignment shop. I loved the silvery colored oceans.
Also in July at the same thrifty consignment shop, I purchased this Hanson 2060 Model vintage scale for $8. It was in great shape.
At the other thrifty consignment shop in my town, I purchased this Royal Quiet Deluxe portable typewriter in April for $20. Like new condition.
At a thrifty consignment shop in August, I purchased this Art Gift tole tray for $4.
In July, I went garage sale-ing and purchased the Brownie camera for $1.50 and the Baby Ben clock for $1.00. This was the start of both a camera and clock collection!
This Godinger hand clip stand was a great find in October for $8. Perfect for cards and photos.
This $3 Enesco vintage dog figurine was purchased in the fall at a consignment shop. This purchase expanded my pug dog collection to include other dog breeds.
Loved the Infant of Prague chalkware figurine that I purchased for $4 at the consignment shop.
I purchased this Buckeye vintage gas pump in early 2012 for $6 at a consignment shop. The pump was added to my garden junk displays.
I hope 2013 will bring with it some great vintage finds as well!

Amazing finds. Love them all, but the hand stand is pretty cool. I've never seen anything like it before.
ReplyDeleteDon't you wish the gas pump was attached to a tank?! Great finds, Carlene, and I love the new header, too. Does that mean I should change out my Christmas header? :@
