Tuesday Treasures - May 27, 2025

 A few things from a few different places.

I am not "into" brass like so many I see online in blogs and Instagram are, however, this brass hen and chick and fence napkin holder was only $1.49 at Goodwill!  I don't use napkin holders for napkins, and I don't think I'm alone in this, as they are also sold as letter holders.  They are perfect on desks to hold mail, and to hold my postcards while I'm working on my collection.  This seems to be dated to the 1950s.

Peppy the Penguin, a lone shaker, is from the Goodwill at the other end of town.  Of course, the price sticker peeled off black paint!  Common sense would be to put stickers on bottoms and backs. 

I made a quick Goodwill Bins stop for reading material.  They had plenty, I got 14 books.  A pair of sandals my size, like new.  A few holiday items you have to wait to see.  

I found this watercolor of birches.  Unfortunately it's an odd size, and no frame (evidence it had one, which was probably broken in the bins).

I may have found the artist's initials carved into a trunk!

My cats have a lot of beds already, but I couldn't resist this cupcake!  

Baby Cat crawled in before I had a chance to turn it right side up!  I was going to clean it too, but she had other plans. 

First there was a slight scuffle over ownership.  Benny didn't really want it, he just didn't want her to have it.  He's that way. 

It's missing a pompom, but for the price the cashier charged me (25¢ since she said it looked like a pillow to her, and had a pillow inside, and pillows are 25¢) it's fine!  Especially since this is sold on line from the company for $79.00  and Amazon for $65.00!  For a cat bed?  At least I learned on the company site it's fully machine washable.  Which I was going to do... if Baby Cat hadn't had other ideas.  For a few days solid she only left it to eat, drink, or use her box!

Come back next Tuesday for more "Treasures"!
