I had an extremely busy weekend. A full day on Saturday and my cooking class on Sunday.(post coming tomorrow) As I was getting ready for the class, I realized I was out of cilantro and tumeric powder. Opps both important things in cooking.
I decided to head out to the desi store with 1 hour to spare before the mums started arriving at my house.
As I driving, I saw the bright neon sign. A rummage sale at local school and we had gone last year. I thought , I will do a quick spin through.
Drove, parked and as I walked through the entrance of the gym, the person announces, its a bag sale and everything is up for grabs.
Child in the background claims she is sick and stayed home Monday morning.
I paid $15 for the entire thing. I had no time to go around to all the different depts. It was a very well organized sale but I had no time at all!!!
Pretty cutlery
Calla Lily napking holders
A very unique teacup
A really heavy silver teapot, an aromatherapy burner
The teapot(i think its a teapot) has a strainer in the spout and weighs about 12 lbs. Ohh I just googled the markings at the bottom and it might be a vintage cocktail shaker. I dont have the time to go google more, but if anyone is interested. Its Meriden S.P CO 311 Patented Jan 11 1927. BL, any idea what it could be?
Before I get trolls, saying wtf am I going to do with everything I bought. I will just show how I already have put mostsomeof the things to use.

Cute! Waiting to hear about the cookery class and how it went
Neat stuff re..and that teapot/shaker weighs 12 lbs??Wow! Must be a lot of silver!
H went for a spin to check out garage sales last weekend and am proud to say we have a couple of silver-like trays and some very pretty glass vases bought at dirt price.
This sure feels happy
Me:YAY!

The headers are pretty !! And how pretty are the napkin holders and the teapot?!
Me: My fav is the one of Neil. Look at his goonda hair.

Seems like alot of ppl have the same engravings oh their stuff
Me: Hmm I bought all that in 15 mins. I left for Indian store and was home by 145pm..:)Antique cocktail shaker… Weird… So heavy how to shake.
Pretty teacup all in blue….come hither and I promise to love you !!!
Great find there !! The trays are very beautiful too..
Me: Hai na? So pretty.I dont know whether you can see the pretty jagged edge. Very different.
You have a great eye, S. I hope someone approaches you with a ‘Thrifting for dummies’ book deal
Me: rofl. I am quite a virgin at it. You should check out some of the other blogs. Click Linda’s(coastal charm) blog,she has a thrifting party going on.
Your house is not cluttered at all when I have been there. It looks really nice and you incorporate everything into your decor so well. So let them ask what you do with all that stuff!
I want you to go couch shopping for me. I need a 1950 style retro couch.
Me: Oh oh…I would love to do that. We need to get together on a Thursday again.
Great treasures you found here…my favorites are the calla lily napkin rings and the aqua teacup Hope you have a FUN week:)
Blessings,
Linda
Me:Waves hello at Linda. I love your blog.
Great finds! I like the way you used some of it at your house.
Me:Thanks Katherine!
Awesome stuff. Tell me something, do you sort of plan out how you’re going to put to use what WHILE shopping, because you find very interesting ways to use them almost immediately after!
Me:Sort of, I usually know what and how I am going to use said piece. Sometimes I’ll walk around with it and if I cant visualize it in my eye, I put it back.
Also, I totally heart that quirky pale blue cup
Me:Me too. Made in Bavaria Germany and very delicate.
You found some wonderful things in less than an hour! The napkin rings are really cute, but ♥ the teacup.
Me: Waves hello. Isnt the teacup pretty.
