So this sale was indeed inside the garage. Not the house, just the garage. What a weird way to describe a sale. Why not just say garage sale? Regardless, there was some good stuff!
Why can't I stop buying these Empire Halloween candy buckets?
Just in time for my bathroom remodel! I am unsure of why the handle on the lid is painted red so I'll repaint it.
I was so excited to find this cake carrier! I have coveted this for so long and have almost bought it online a few times.
I have a huge stack of these Hazel Atlas bowls but in the ivy pattern. I'm happy to start a new collection of the strawberry ones.
The cute duck cup will go with my stash of baby dishes for a future niece or nephew. I never set out to collect Thermoses but now I can't pass them up. And the raspberry tin is a cute way to store whatever it is I need to store!
Hopefully I will find the other pieces to this Miller chalkware fish.
The story behind this sale was that the lady who lived in the house was being moved into an assisted living facility so her family was scaling down on some of her housewares. If she was leaving all this good stuff behind, I'm dying to know what she was taking with her!

Great cake carrier. Love the handle and the flowers on it.
ReplyDeleteWow! Caon't believe you found all that at one sale! That carrier is on my "List" too! Congrats finding it!
ReplyDeleteCountry roads lead to good junking. Definitely made lunch with Alex a worthwhile trip!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you found some great stuff! Perfect for linking up with my new linky party I started today (to be continued each week on Tuesdays) It is called "Let's Talk Vintage!" You can link up your latest finds, your stories about your Pyrex collections, etc. Would love to have you pop on by!
ReplyDeleteNice cake tin! I think you did pretty good at the sale. I remember pumpkins like those when I was a kids!
ReplyDeletewarmly,

I'm completely smitten with that cake carrier and your thermos collection is over the top awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your cake carrier!
ReplyDeleteEverything is great but the fish is the best!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!! Love the cake carrier, so pretty and the thermos will be perfect for your collection and display!! :) Yay for cute things!!! Have a great day! xo Holly
ReplyDeleteThe cake carrier is awesome! As is the raspberry tin! Actually, it all is. :) Thanks for linking up at Vintage Bliss Tuesdays! Jo
ReplyDeleteBeware the spell of Miller Studio fish! You start with one and end up with an entire bathroom of sea creatures! And I know what you mean about the Empire blow mold pumpkins... I'm tempted to clean Goodwill out and use them as lanterns in the back yard for our costume ball! Great finds, was worth the drive!
ReplyDeleteLove the cake carrier - I have canisters in that pattern. I sold off my whole collection of Empire plastic pumpkins and Christmas figures. I have a heart tug when I see them. Thank you for sharing with us at Make It Monday!
ReplyDeleteI have a hamper/trash can (people around here call them both names, so I'm not really sure if it is a hamper or a trash can) and I use it for my yardstick collection.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Love the pumpkins. Thanks so much for sharing at the Make it Monday Party! Hope to see you again next week.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I not follow my instincts? About two years ago, my husband and I were at a thrift store, and I saw a set of those fish and I wanted them, but Sander teased me so I didn't. NOW they're all over Instagram and Etsy! That one is cute, even if he is single.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
