Oh my, just when I thought there were no yard sales to be found. I ventured out into the farm areas around where I lived and found two fantastic sales! Then I went through town and found something amazing at "Carol and Nancy's Sale". I need to do a blog article on those two, they are fabulous. Time to start selling...I'm out of $$ to make yard saling and thrifting "free" and that IS my goal.
At the first sale I found this adorable cake carrier. It was dull and dirty, but with alittle Bon Ami, it's shiny and beautiful. The acorns make it perfect for Autumn. I LOVE the wood acorn handle on top! $4
The next sale was waaaaaay out. I almost turned back but I'm so glad I didn't. I got out of the car and this adorable 4 year old boy comes up and asks, "Do you want any of this stuff, lady?" He ended up being quite the salesman. His grandma was a dear lady, selling some of her mother's things. These two coffee cans were in the bunch...my first. LOVE THEM!

I lived up to my nickname (Thermos Girl) among those vintage thrifter enthusiasts today. I started to hyperventilate when I saw this really old Thermos...so unique!

Then, I about passed out at this sight. At first I thought someone stuck a cork in it....then I saw the faint "Thermos" on the cork. It's a very early Thermos bottle! It's also perfect to complete my Patriotic display that I just finished today!
The dear lady was so excited that I was excited. She took me into the house to show me her collection of extremely old glass bottles. She was so sweet. On the way out the door I offered $8 for the whole lot, and she said yes! They little boy in good salesman form said, "Can I have that, Grandma?"
On the way home I saw the signs in town for Carol and Nancy's reoccurring sale. These dear older ladies used to own an antique shop and now liquidate their garages on a regular bases for a great deal! I couldn't pass up this 1940's French Arcoroc brand refrigerator dish for $6. So cool!
Enjoy your holiday!

Hey Thermos Girl!
I'm thrilled for you for finding that super old thermos. What an amazing score:-)
That acorn cake tin is perfect for Fall. I'm sure you will work it into some sort of cute display.
Have a lovely weekend,
