Yardsales, Finds....

The other day I was giving my sister a ride to work at the school....after I dropped her off I noticed a bunch of stuff sitting out in the yard. It looked like a yardsale over the weekend I had missed. Oh well, then out of the corner of my eye I spied something, maybe it's worth turning around and a second look.
I circled back around and got out of the car and rang the door bell. No one was home....just then someone came around the back and I asked if these things were for sale, yes he answered let me get someone. A women came out of the house and I asked if she was moving or having a yardsale?

Yes, she was moving and had a yardsale and not one person showed up...Hum your kidding I said.
I asked the price of the desk and she said a ridiculously unbelievable low price, I answered I'll take and she seemed shocked. She said if you like that I have something else you might like...
 
She showed me another Victorian piece and I said I would like that too. I have always wanted an oak side board and this secretary desk, I don't think I have ever seen one like it...
 
It does need a little refinishing and restoration, but I think they will turn out beautiful

Well while moving and deciding what I am going to keep and what I have to part with to make room for my new treasures I became a little distracted....I found this little box tucked away in a corner

On top was this cute little pillow with a satin envelope on the back...maybe a tooth fairy pillow, wouldn't you love to sleep with that under your pillow?

Next there were a stack of cards, oh yes I remember this shopping trip to my favorite shops with my mom

This valentine card has a watered silk ribbon for the dress, well I couldn't leave that behind

And these hand embroidered cards...

Pretty Easter Cards..

   I love postcards, I think you can never have to many...
 
I love going to this little store, It's called Barb's Bygones...I have been going there for a while now and have never left empty handed. She has the most wonderful collections of treasures...

I love trade cards too...

Sweet little cherub...

Next layer, crocheted sachets and silk roses...

Oh, I almost forgot about these but how could I?

Silky tassels and alittle bling...

An old fashion brooch

Rhinestone buttons in my favorite colors of course...

I love this guiloche pin and this beautiful lady, I asked about it and Barb said I have had that forever and you are the only one interested...its a broken lid of a box or compact I believe, you can have it...

More vintage jewels...

Darling baby shoes...

Vintage rhinestone tiarra...

Pretty German cup...

And more baubles....
A girl can't have to many jewels or bling. Enough time spent, better get busy and back to work. Hope you enjoyed unpacking my treasure Pinkie
