All week, I've been looking forward to the Fall Rummage Sale at the Hourglass. I was supposed to go with a dear friend, but she wasn't able to go due to family tragedy. I had to brave it alone. I arrived promptly at 7:50 this morning to find that there were few parking spaces left and a substantial line had already formed.
After a short wait, a lady came out of the Hourglass and asked were we ready to shop. OF COURSE everyone answered yes and they let us in! Here's an idea of what I saw as I perused the vendors.
There were too many things to take photos of. I just had to start looking!! And did I find some goodies :)
In no particular order, first I found this gorgeous trifle bowl (it's larger than it looks) - $5
a vintage Japanese bread and butter plate with a springtime scene, complete with Sakura blossoms - $1.50
a set of 6 vintage Japanese rice bowls and a gorgeous enamel hair comb - $2.50
a pretty little saucer with pink roses that I'm sure my daughter is going to try to steal from me - $0.25
just look at that subtle yet beautiful detail :)
a vintage shaving brush with Badger hair and a set of antique hand painted Czechoslovakian porcelain salt cellars and s&p shakers - $4
a pre-1900s JP Masonic Flask - $0.50
this one has a crack in the side from lightning, but
here is one in non-cracked condition listed for $227.50!!
an antique apothecary-style bottle complete with glass stopper - $2
of course, some Scentsy in Sticky Cinnamon Bun and my fav Simply Irresistable - $7
a vintage jasper-esque avon perfume bottle - $3
a tan hand knitted hat and scarf set - $2
(I had to have this because my grandmama has a hat very similar to this one:)
I also bought a ginormous frame which I haven't taken a picture of yet. It will be used to make another massive chalkboard that of course will be for sale:) Keep posted for it.
So there it is folks...my spectacular haul...all for under $40. Drop by
The Hourglass in the morning when they open their doors at 8 for some more great deals :)
