Garage Sale Finds

I found some treasures at a garage sale this weekend. It didn't look too promising at first until I started to dig.

I found a box of craft supplies and started digging. I picked up a bag of (maybe vintage) daisy lace, 5 yards for $5 which seemed expensive but I've been looking for this so I held onto it as I continued to dig.

I found a baggie with crocheted rosebuds made out of mohair yarn.

I'm not sure if these are supposed to be bows or butterflies. They are made out of velvet ribbon tied with seed beads. Very petite and in Christmas colors.

These crocheted cats and Scotty dog were so cute. There is so much handiwork in each piece. There are also five round flowers and one small lacy bit of crochet with three pink flowers.

This is a napkin ring but I am going to take it apart and use the pieces as centers for flowers. I love the colors.

I fell in love with the ladybug on this purse. The bead purse is 5" x 4" and the ladybug just makes it so cute.

That was it for the craft box. I then found a box of books. There weren't a lot of books but I found some gems.

I picked up two Bobsey Twins books copyrighted 1921 and 1925.  I don't read music but I found a "Laurel Music Reader" Special Edition by C.C. Birchard & Company copyrighted 1910 to use for altered art projects.

My favorite book was the "Picture Dictionary for Children" by Garnette Watters and S.A. Courtis copyrighted 1948. The illustrations are adorably cute.

We got all of these treasures for $12. And when it was all added up the daisy lace cost less than $1 for 5 yards. I love thrifting!
