Kitschy Yard Sale Finds!

Okay, so I love to find unusual, somewhat strange items at yard sales. The people who hold these yard sales are probably happy that I come because nobody else would purchase these odd items. :) My sister and I hit the jack-pot in kookiness this weekend. At a church sale I bought an entire 10-gallon tub FULL of vintage cupcake toppers and little decorating bits such as baby rattles, rocking horses, gummy babies, mini brides and grooms and SO MUCH MORE! I think the lady was shocked when we carried the entire tub to the front and asked her for a price. I had to have them...ALL!

Then at another sale, I found a box labeled 'Clown Making Kit.' I looked inside and there were five clowns with handmade cloth outfits and felt assembled faces. They came with ric-rac, pom-poms, felt and more material to put together your ideal clown.They were so cute I couldn't leave them behind and I think I know a good home for them to travel to. ;)

Some other odds and ends I picked up, A pair of vintage salt & pepper shakers, a pretty floral pillowcase, a cute little Christmas caroler, an owl figurine, In the little bag is a porcelain doll head and arms...I got tons of these! The clock and candle sconces are just some pretty things I picked up for our shop.

My sister snatched up the pair of velvet paintings for her new home where she plans to do a gallery wall of fun vintage-style art. Last but not least, I picked up a container full of all different colors and styles of seam binding and other sewing supplies. All in all a fun day of treasure hunting.
