Mostly 50cents each... Flea finds

17 years ago

I decided to try to stick to a 50cents or less per item idea at the SA. Everything here was 50 cents each, except the blue vase for $1.50 which I had to buy cuz it fit the bud vase perfectly and the glasses and alum shot jigger were 25cents - I got 4 glasses and already broke one, sigh. I am very excited about the jar opener. I have an older one with a wooden handle and it opens absolutely everything. I never thought I'd find another, going to give this one to my Mom. Hope the plastic handle holds up.

    Very nice collection. Yes, I would flip that wire thing with the cute feet over..lol Love the etched glasses, and the flower. Nice plate too.
    Make sure you follow up and show us what you do with all that good stuff.

    You did really good, Kathy! Love that blue vase, it was worth the extra $

    Our SA had some .50 cent racks last week, found the GKs 2 cute little jackets, couldn't pass them up. I should stop more often because the good stuff goes fast and you just have to be there at the right time.

    I wish they would put their housewares on clearance, but nothing on that so far, and much of it is overpriced. I do best at yard sales usually on my garden junk stuff. ~tenderlee

    Great finds and great prices! I want to go junking with you! Love the cobalt blue piece! Can't wait to see what you create with your treasures! Bear Hugs! Kirk

    Can't believe the prices! You lucky girl. After the cobalt, that plate is my favorite. What are your plans for it? Top piece on a totem birdfeeder would be mine, LOL.

    Great buys!! I too love those jar openers, the long Foley one is good too, it's old also, turquiose colored handle on it. I love the wire thing with feet-great BB stand (how do you cook chicken with that?)I'd have to pass on that. Once had a roast cooked in beer-ugh!! Never even liked the smell of beer. Love smell of coffee but can't stand to drink it so I'm just odd I guess!! I see a totem in your future with the pretty blue vase!! Hoping Kudzu's Hoss is dong OK after surgery, can't even bring anything up on conversations!! Anyway treat us with pics when you make up some pretties from all this!! Our SA went out ofbusiness so have to drive 8 miles to another one. Don't like it as well. Not much in glassware. Jan

    I can see the SA wanting the best price they can get, but a lot of the stuff at the local one has been there for Months! After a month they should mark it down. It takes up a lot of space and makes the shelves so crowded. Its too bad because some nice things have gotten broken in the mess. A very pretty tea pot that didn't sell for $10 for many months is now $3.50 because it is broken. Even I dont' want it now lol. (Well ok maybe if it was 50c)

    I can feel your excitement as I've been there many times! I love glass stuff so it's difficult to resist when it's so inexpensive. Looks as if you have a good start on a garden totem! The rose colored plate is very pretty as well.

    GREAT PRICES!!! They're raising prices here... they're now charging $1 for a stinking mug - I was getting them for 50cents.

    You found beautiful things. Especially love that flower! Usual price around here for similar flowers is 5 bucks! The plate is beautiful, too. Love that it's embossed. And the stands are really cool. Ah heck, I love 'em all!

    It looks like the cobalt blue vase, clear bud vase and that pretty flower are destined to be together forever! I like that pink plate too - great color and texture! I never tried the beer can chicken. You stick a can of open beer in the holder and then stick the whole thing up the chicken's butt. lol! The chicken is supposed to stand up on the beer can and holder. Doesn't always work as planned from what I hear.
