Flea Finds But Not on Me

I don't have no crummy fleas!


Is that scarecrow moving?


I might need a piece of him.


Oh, he's just a dummy!


I've been looking for an old wire birdcage to use in the garden. All I've been seeing are cages with plastic bottoms. Yesterday I finally found what I wanted though it was covered with gaudy decorations. It was so bad I actually ripped most of them off and left them in the store. $3.95






This stuff got thrown away fast!


Good deal and it is in great shape.


Now to figure out what to do with it!


I found another working barometer to satisfy my weather addiction. This will just hang in the garage. $2.50


A sweet little jam pot for $1.00. I buy these when I find them because I give away lots of homemade biscuits and jam and these are so much nicer than a plain jar.


A brand new pair of rooster S&P's for $1.75. These are now on the potting table.


Another owl. This one was $2.00. The paint is very one dimensional so I will touch it up to make it look better. Another Halloween decoration!


Hmmmm....maybe this little guy would be happy in that birdcage. 25 cents


This was a cute find for $1.00. A Gold Medal Flour recipe box.




With all the original recipe cards.


Jake's hat....$1.00.


These very heavy shabby chic candlesticks were $2.00 for the set.


More wooden candlesticks for Halloween decorations. $3.00 for all of them. These were popular in the 1960's and it seems that everyone has gotten rid of them because I am finding them everywhere I go and they are always cheap. Though I am using them for Halloween, they could be painted any color and used for all sorts of centerpieces or decorations.


This giant, heavy oak candlestick was handmade on a lathe and signed on the bottom. $1.75....once again, so much for artistic appreciation!


This heavy metal miniature chair was $1.75. It will look cute with a pumpkin sitting on it.


Who remembers this game?


I played this all the time when I was a kid.


But I sure never knew it was a backgammon game from India. $2.00


This pair was $1.25. These will work so well with all of the other Halloween items I have been hording.


This is too cute! A depression glass corn crib.


Filled with what else??? $8.00
