Great finds today

Today was the first day we've had more than just a couple of garage sales. Weather has been cold or baking for many people to want to be outside. Today the weather was warm enough although there was a light rain coming down. That means not as much competetion though.
I found vintage sterling silver ice tongs at an estate sale. DD found some books on local bird watching. DS's Scout troop had been trying to build a library of books on local flora and fauna so a donation is headed their way. I also found a cook book from a local restaurant that went out of business a few years ago. Total for every thing was $1.75.
Next stop wasa multi family raising money for a loacl chartiy. DD got a shopping bag of vintage looking clothes for $5. Some 60's era stuff, a couple of designer pieces and a gorgeous hand beaded silk dress with tags still attached. A
very mod 60's looking chunky pink bracelet too.
I found several pieces of jewelry, a bumblebee pin, a silver necklace and a black and silver necklace along with earrings, along with 2 cookbooks and 2 coffeetable books, one on antiques, on on Erte. $7 for all.
Our favorite thirft was having a sidewalk sale today too. DD found a Banana Republic sweater and a beaded green silk halter, $1.50 for both. I found some interesting kitchen gadgets for my wall of useless kitchen gadgets. A butter curler, and a vegetable peeler with a handle shaped like a potato. Hard to hold onto but cute enough to display. A cookbook called Cooking with Love and Cereal. Anyone for a nice juicy burger that is half All Bran? Sounds yummy huh? Can't wait to try that one (not!) Some still packaged drawer handles, two necklaces, and a mixology book. Not a big drinker but hey who can resist a recipe called ahem (turn away if you blush easily) a Bosom Caresser. May have to try that one to see where it gets me.
