After that, we went to a few yard sales, where I picked up these old buttons:
This child’s toy iron from the 1940s or 50s:
And this toy stove from the 1930s. It still works!
The next day, on Sunday, Phillip and I had a rare day off together, so we decided to head over to the Nipomo Swap meet, which is an interesting mix of vintage items, used tools and electronics, and an array of Mexican items from food to clothing to music. Right as we walked in the entrance we found these shot glasses for 50 cents each, which match a set I already have.
The next booth we went to is one we have gotten great stuff at before, and it didn’t disappoint this time either! We got another one of these black cat planters for $2:
I also snagged this nice set of Pyrex bowls for just $15! I already have a set, so these went straight into the booth (but otherwise I definitely would have kept them!)
I also bought a few scoops of vintage buttons. It was $2 for all of it! You can see here that they filled up the red Pyrex bowl. I think I’m going to pick out some of my favorites and then sell the rest in the space by the jar.
This vintage drinking glass was the last thing I picked up in that booth. It was 50 cents. It’s going to look great in the space with our other Asian-themed items.
As an extra bonus, the lady couldn’t find any paper to wrap with, so she used this vintage Christmas tablecloth!
The next thing I found was this cool mid-century serving platter. I love everything about it! I’m definitely keeping this one.
We moved on to another booth and I found this pretty shell bird beaded necklace for $3:
And this weird little snowman baby pin for $1. I’ll put it out in the booth at Christmas time.
In the next booth we found this cute 1950s poodle statue and plastic gorilla. We paid $3 for both of them.
