Tuesday Treasures - March 4, 2025
It had been awhile since I'd been in the Goodwill at the other end of town. I stopped in after a grocery shopping trip, and was surprised to find several interesting and inexpensive things.
My third Shona carving! This was the expensive item at $4.04.
A vintage puppy trio from Japan.
6" drip glaze bud vase in my favorite blue!
These vintage poodle pups used to be connected to their mother by chain leashes. Originally the family had bows glued around their necks, and the oddest fake fur on the tops of their heads, and their mother's tail and legs. (Search for "vintage ceramic poodles with fake fur on heads" to see what I mean.) These had the bows, and glue residue on their heads, which I promptly soaked off!
I almost didn't go, since I had groceries in the car. I usually go before the grocery store, but I was driving from the other direction that morning.
...I like the bud vase.
ReplyDeleteIt's my favorite color blue, and I like drip glaze, so it was quite a find! $1.34 was a steal!
DeleteI enjoyed seeing your new treasures, which look like things from my childhood or earlier (I"m 76). I'm sorry for your loss of your dogs, having lost many dogs over the years. I still take comfort in my five cats though, and I take it that your own cat isn't terribly old.
ReplyDeleteMy cats are fairly old. Baby Cat, the tuxedo is estimated to be 14 (a microchip with no info was inserted in 2011 - we found her in the backyard) and Benny is 12 this month. He also was found, in the carport! My dog is only 4,
Deletealmost 4 1/2.
That is a stunning blue on the vase.
ReplyDeleteIt is very eyecatching.
