Did I pay too much??

17 years ago

It was a good day at my favorite junk place. It is too early to plant here in western NY, but I am itching to get outside with some stuff.

This is my haul for today. I got all this except the beaded lamp shade I already had.

This is a closer look at the fluted bowl, which has leaves baked right into the resin. I thought it would be a cool birdbath.

The grand total was $5.98

The wooden spoons are all for plant markers in my veggie garden this year.

    Good haul. I'd have prob paid $5.00 for the dish alone. Love it.

    NOT too much! The square candy dish with the wavey rim - I've seen those here and they usually go for $2. And the small round ones with the flower petal rim - usually $1.

    The last pic - that bowl is plastic? Real nice! Good idea to use it as a bird baath - no worries about it breaking. And what's that filligree rim leaning against the lamp? Looks very pretty. Are you thinking a BB holder? Good idea for the wooden spoons. And the blue glass is beautiful. Very different color blue - subtle, almost ocean-like in color.

    Can you do those of us with failing eyesight a small favor? Next time, can you please reduce the pics to 800x600 so that I don't have to press my face against the screen to see the pics. HAHAHAHAHA Dang! I wish the clickable pics still worked with photobucket!

    Anyway... GREAT HAUL!!!! You did very well!!

    New here, but not to junkin, and I think you made some GREAT deals to get all of that for 6.00...And I've never made plate flowers, but am going to after seeing some of "yalls", but I can see the leave shaped bowl inside the square one to the left as a flower and.....you'll have fun w/ all you're stuff I'm sure.

    Well the fluted piece would be a great crown....you deserve one after all that shoppin.

    Several of those pieces would go for $2. each, you did great!! That last 1 will be a great birdbath. I don't know if you all use a heavy copper piece like joining 1/2 in to 3/4 in. piece in the water, it keeps it from getting slimy so much(still gets dirty!!) Use a heavy piece of copper (only around $1 for it) because if you just use a small piece a jay will take off with it!! They seem to like "pretties"! Jan

    You gotta sweeeeet bargain with all that for only $5.98 & not a penny more!
    The beaded square dish in the left hand corner, turned upside down, would make a great collar for a lovely garden lady. I like the spice bottles with the stoppers the best. What are your plans for those?

    Cait, I was holding the control key down and rolling the mouse to enlarge the pics so I could see each item better! That will make the pic bigger to look at, but doesn't always help with seeing the details better. ;o)

    Sam, you got a lot of goodies for your money. You'll have lots of fun creating with it.
