thursday's junk

a garage sale, a thrift shop and a junk store - this is what i found in 3 short stops today. i like the colors of the cigar box - and the masking tape reads "cranise's tea set when little girl".



natural finish shoe inserts, and 8 inch (why?) ruler, glass insulator, vintage photos, and the loveliest old box with old bandage wrap intact. i love the graphics and the printed instructions on the box. i tried to get a detail shot to share, but alas, the photos are all blurry.




a complete, vintage 1948 scrabble game! i'm thrilled - and it was only 2 dollars; can you believe that?!?

  1. I have one of those OLD scrabble games too! We played with it when I was a kid and I still have it, PTL. mine is not from 1948, I was born in 1957, so sometime after that. But still vintage, lol

    Enjoy and I also love your other goodies!!
