Greetings!
Hit up 3 garage sales on my lunch break today. Came back with a few items:
Donny's Fish Market Glass Mug - I bought this because it looks vintage and has a Nautical Theme. I know where it's from and nautical + knowing where it's from gives me enough information to write up a nice description. I love finding anything nautical themed ... fisherman, ships, anchors, fishing reels, people love that stuff! Paid 50 cents.
Vintage Wilhold brand container. Plastic (not sure if it's bakelite) has a plastic lid with a rose on it. I know the brand and where it was made, it's vintage, a cool color and has nice engraving on the lid. Not sure if this is maybe used as a sewing box, or trinket box or what - but it's cool looking! Paid 50 cents
Awesome vintage yard decor - ghost. There is nothing that will ever stop me from buying vintage Halloween stuff. Paid $3 - this is probably going to stay with me.
Miniature katana made in Japan. This is hand painted with a wood sheath. The blade is actually sharpened which makes me question if this is a letter opener or meant for something else. Seems like more than a souvenir since it's sharp. Cool little item. Paid $1.
3 antique mesh kitchen strainers. People like to decorate with stuff like this. Nice shape. Paid $1.
I haven't dealt with the world of wool much, but I've heard from other sellers that wool is a big seller on eBay. Found 2 100% wool sweaters that look vintage and have no stains or holes. One is Jersild - 100% Virgin Wool. The other is Laurel Ann - Super Soft 'something' Wool. Can't make it out in the photo, will have to look into it more later. Paid $4 for the pair.
Total Spent on Store Items: $7
Hoping to make: $100 - $150 off of these items.
Happy Hunting!
