REDNESDAY

Welcome! Mister and I went to the semi-annual auction of our favorite thrift store. I got lots of "good stuff cheap"!

We bid on this box of old rotary dial telephones for a friend who is a serious phone collector. Nobody else wanted them, so we stole them for $2.00. I'd love the red one!


Two knee huggers, a Santa (made in Japan), and a ceramic bird salt shaker.

Some wonderful vintage hankies ~ one with a "K" for my Katherine!

This is, I believe, a child's suitcase. It measures 10-1/2" x 14" x 5-3/4", and has a cool faux snakeskin pattern on it. The metal tag says "Shortrip" and it was stuffed with doll clothes and accessories, of which I'll have to sort through. I love old cases - they're great for storage!

This is my favorite item, that I got for $4.00. A 1947 little portable sewing kit. It is sooooooo cute! Awesome bright, bold graphics that I love. It's in very good condition, especially since it's 64 years old! (Hmmm, reminds me of a Beatles song!)

I wish it still had the scissors, but beggars can't be choosers. There's some fabric scraps under the cardboard that someone was practicing on - looks like 70's type fabric.

Here's Betty! She comes with the case, so I assume you got to make doll clothes with this kit.

That's all I'll show you today. I have more reds from this auction that I'll show next week, and some pretty figurines and stuff that I'll show you in between!

Now, heads up everyone! I'll be presenting my Christmas Tag Swap in the next day or two, so be on the alert!
