I’m running out of room for these things!

It is a sad time for me. Nothing that I want to write about though. I have spent so much money within the last few days. I bought quite a few groceries the past few days. Then today I somehow managed to spend $37.00 at Dollarama.

I went to a garage sale this morning but it was cancelled. I was rather annoyed that it wasn’t announced online that the sale had been cancelled. And I just went to a garage sale a few blocks away, a while ago. I bought this little Kewpie doll. Mine has a blue outfit though.  http://www.etsy.com/listing/73784564/sleeping-kewpie-doll-w-yellow-crochet  it was 50 cents and I saw some on ebay for around $12.00 so that isn’t bad.

My brother and sister in law like simple toys for their kids. So I bought one of these for my niece. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WALLY-WADDLES-Marionette-Mr-Weavers-WALKIN-WOBBLERS-RARE-NEVER-USED-/310685976446  The name of the one I bought is Fluffenpuff which sounds so dirty. She is too young for it at this point. It was $1.00 and still in the box.

One of these for 50 cents http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Anchor-Hocking-Fire-King-Blue-Floral-Flower-Design-Mug-/121130895958

And another Fireking mug http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-FIRE-KING-Collectible-Coffee-Mug-GREEN-Kimberly-/390600051667 for 50 cents.

A similar style framed picture by this artist. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Little-Girl-Indian-Wild-West-western-artist-Oxborough-Framed-Print-with-mat-/230849649387  for $2.50. There were about 4-5 of the pics but I didn’t think that I had enough room to get them all.

And I bought this bowl. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PYREX-442-WOODLAND-BROWN-1-5-Quart-Cinderella-Casserole-/380658461285 for some reason the lady at the sale thought that was a valuable item. Not so much. I told her if it was a set maybe. It isn’t a rare pattern though. She wanted $4.00 and I set the price at $3.00. So $7.50 for everything.

There was some lady at the sale (another customer) who pissed me off. The items were in the garage so it was crowded. I had the mugs inside the bowl. And  she bumped me without even saying anything.

Last year I bought a painting at a garage sale and thought maybe it was potentially valuable art. I looked up the artist and couldn’t find him. When I was doing this entry I found that it is an actual painting but the person copied this picture.http://www.ebay.ca/itm/CANADA-CANADIAN-INDIAN-CHILD-No-3-BY-D-OXBOROUGH-MODERN-POSTCARD-CC0313-268-/171028790922 ah well.

I used to collect milk glass stuff. I have tons of it. I’m waiting until I meet someone who collects it and I can give it all to them. When you get to my age, you start thinking about downsizing your life. I want to move out of the house into something much smaller. Possibly a trailer or apartment. So all of the collectible stuff has to go, along with 90% of everything else.

I love all your pyrex and vintage cups and things. Do you use them all or display them? I have started buying vintage dinner wear sets. I like them a lot.

RYN: Thanks for the suggestions! 🙂 Normally, I would have cropped the pic, but I was trying to capture reaction to what he was doing. The guy, whose name is Darin, actually posted on my page about the pics and ended up using them. I was jazzed.
