Whoa doggies!!! (That's Oklahoman for boy, did I have a good day shopping at garage sales and Estate sales.) I even had to take two pictures to show my treasures.
In this first picture, going from back left I found: a planter with a girl in a red hat, a beautiful blue saucer, a dish with red and white polka dotted bow, two little chalk dolls, a Humpty Dumpty, crocheted glass cozies, two cream colored little birds, a trio of small white pieces - a salt and pepper shakers and don't know what the other piece is, a birdhouse wall pocket and a tiny box of darning and mending spools of thread.
The blue saucer is stamped "Mason's 'Bour Bells' English Ironstone". The three piece set has a little base that the pieces sit on and it is marked "Marutomoware - Made in Japan", and the two bowl with the red and white polka dotted bow is marked "Shawnee".
These two little chalk dolls are barely 2" tall. Aren't they cute?
Look at this little box of darning and mending thread. It only measures 2" x 5". So tiny and cute.
This is my second "bunch". I found a mannequin that I need to recover, a beautiful white china planter that has china roses all around the top, a snowman plaque, a cruet set, several salt and pepper shakers and a whole bunch of vintage post cards. SCORE!!
I was so afraid that I would not be able to find things while the flea market was closed, but.....
Enjoy!!
Till next time, Judy

Really great finds today. I like the girl with the red ribbon and hat trim best. Good vintage stuff. I had a good gs day too, not stellar, just good.

Such sweet treasures! You did really good! We're purging and cleaning right now, so I resisted going to a couple of yard sales today. Now I'm really regretting it, after seeing your wonderful finds :)
All great finds - congrats! Love the plate and the two little dolls, the s&p's. Mary
You DID score in a big way, Judy! You can't go wrong with Mason's ironstone, Shawnee and chalkware! I love that wall pocket, too!!! Congrats!
How do you do it? You ALWAYS find awesome stuff! Well, from one shopper to another, GOOD JOB!
Have a great weekend!

I love all your little vintage tresors! I actually picked up a few things this week at a yard sale, and I am having a great time trying to think up ways of re purposing them. xo's Pam

Wow! You like the same things I like...we better not shop together! heehee! I LOVE those precious chalk dolls and the mending thread is wonderful! I think I have a little saucer with that blue design! Great finds...sweet treasures!
That blue saucer is GREAT! Have fun with your finds. It's been ages since I was at a sale (we don't have garage sales here).
Great finds and great Halloween decorations, too. You have been busy. I just found your blog and I am your newest follower, How do you feel about becoming mutual followers? I would love to invite you to join my lovely bunch of blogging sisters. Have a great day, Connie :)
You did make quite the haul. Now where are you going to put it, Lucy?

I LOVE the little dolls...you made out really good! I wish we had more yard sales around here...there are so many in the spring but it dwindles down by fall. It's really nice that you found so many vintage items...good for you!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you are having a wonderful fall weekend!
XO,
Jane
Wow... a successful weekend! Sweet finds, love the teeny chalk dolls and the thread. Very cute! :)
Hi, I am your newest follower. You have some great finds! I also love yard and estate sales. I am also love "treasure seeking" in thrift stores. You have a lovely blog. I look forward to following!
I love a "fine" - it's like treasure hunting, isn't it?! I didn't realize you were a Tulsa girl - I was born, raised and lived there my entire life until 9 years ago when we moved to Louisiana. Much of my family still lives there and we go there often to visit with them.
Thank you so much for visiting/following my blog. It is great to meet you and I appreciate your kind comment.
I love garage sales, thrift stores, etc. I adore vintage post cards ad those little chalk dolls are cute as can be. You really found a lot of great things! I'm following you, also.
What fun treasures! Thanks so much for stopping by Buttercup's. Please come and visit often. I enjoyed being part of the Sunday linky and will definitely be back again. Have a great week.
holy moly judy, you did great! love that little three piece hive set....maybe little jam and honey jars for the breakfast table? so sweet. guess i wasn't the only one who had fun on saturday. thanks again for stopping over to Mercantile Muse. It means a lot!
Wow! I want to go to the same estate and yard sales where you shop. You found such wonderful treasures. I would have been grabbing for exactly the same items you bought, so maybe it is a good thing I wasn't there. Enjoyed seeing all of your finds. laurie
Great finds!

Great finds, Judy! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment about my bird bath. :-)
I love the white pot with the roses!
Really fun stuff. I love the lady planter and the chalkware the best but it was a great outing.
Ooooh what lovely finds! I collect vintage salt and pepper shakers - love the red and green topped ones you found!
Love those chalk dollies, Judy! And the darning yarn and all those salt and pepper shakers. (I like to take the tops off and use them as little vases at each place setting on the table.) What a great haul! Well done, you!
