Here are a couple things I got at the same rummage sale where I bought the box of postage stamps.  

I thought I'd done well finding this Westmoreland milk glass rooster.  It wasn't until I got home I discovered a chip and crack hidden under the masking tape price!  As a friend said, "Not very churchy."  It was a church rummage sale.  At least you can't see the damage when the top is on.  I wouldn't have bought it had I know. 

I got another piece of milk glass there, a Hazel-Atlas candy dish in a diamond quilt pattern.  

Then, this little cutey came from the Goodwill Bins.  Just something someone made with nuts and bolts, but I like it!  

Speaking of the postage stamps... would you believe I have a list of 147 countries?  I do!  No, I have more.  I added three or four over the weekend.  Some will be countries with changed names, but I think that still counts.  If Bechuanaland became Botswana who I am to only count the stamps as one country? Bad example.  I don't have any Botswana stamps, only Bechuanaland. Ever heard of the Orange River Colony?  I hadn't.  It only existed for ten years, as a British colony in southern Africa. There was occupying and annexing, several Boer wars involved... 

I've sorted through the box once.  Now I have two boxes, U.S. and foreign (which will have many mistakes) and a group of interesting ones that have been photographed and added to my A to Z list.
