TREASURE AT THE AUCTION


When we decided to move (which hasn't happened) I swore off on-line auctions. Downsizing, ya know. That didn't last very long. Here's my latest finds


All this jewelry for $17.


 The beaded pin is from West Germany


 

Added to my camera collection. I didn't have one with the flash attachment.


This was listed as "assorted vintage items". It's all sewing items. I waited until the end of the auction and won this for $5.

 The oval shaped needlepoint item is a tape measure. I need another skirt hemmer (that makes 3), and I've taken the little pincushion to work. It's next to the lady's head and has a bluebird on it.

 Maybe this key opens the brown suit case.

Three vintage suitcases. Can't get the brown one open, yet.  Also got the Doctor an old pair of binoculars, which he put somewhere. And weird dolls. Stay tuned for them.
