Like this old camera to add to my small vintage camera collection.
An Imperial Mark VII Flash camera (without flash). It's not highly collectible, but it will look nice with the other cameras I have. Plus for $1.00, I was obligated to buy it.
At another garage sale I picked up some silverplate.
It's marked Community Plate and has a fancy pants design on the fork heads.
And a box on the ends that look like they may be meant to be monogrammed.
I bought those, a bag of wooden spools and one wooden clothespin for $4.50.
Glass not included, just using it for display purposes.
This week I also got a special package in the mail from Sandy at Aging Disgracefully. I had won a giveway on her blog last month and she sent me a package full of thoughtful gifts, plus a poem that she wrote herself all about me! Sandy lives in Nova Scotia and blogs about a number of things along with growing older.
Thank you Sandy!
If I can get my chores done today, I'm hoping to be able to get out to a few sales tomorrow. So I'd better get started on the laundry!

WOWEE Pam! I love everything. Pretty silverware, and the camera is cool for a buck! I just started collecting some old camera's too. Have a great weekend!

that is simply the cutest apron ever! I <3 vintage aprons. I want to collect them, but I want to be able to wear them because whats the use of a collection I cant use? lol
ReplyDeletePam, the pretty silverplate pattern looks like Grosvenor, circa 1921. Love the apron.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the silver ware! I have not seen that pattern, but it's so victorian! Loved all your finds and glad you found the time to get out and do something for you!

Love the silverware...you did good! I just gave my daughter all my old wooden thread spools...she loves them too! Hugs-Diana
ReplyDeleteI love it all. Those forks are so pretty. I've never seen a patter on the fork head itself. The spools are something I'm keeping my eye out for too. What a cute apron you won!

Your silverware is divine. I'm going to attempt to stamp some this weekend. Your past post inspired me to visit Harbor Freight. My husband is now in LOVE with that store. Thanks for the tip. Have a glorious weekend.
ReplyDeleteLook at all your goodies! I've been looking high and low for some old silverware that doesn't cost a fortune...so far, no luck.

Pam, the flatware and the apron, are my two favorites, what wonderful finds.
ReplyDeleteYou did good for just visiting a couple of yard sales! I have a vintage camera collection too and you got a steal on that camera for a dollar! The silverware is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteJane
I especially love the silverware. I think you should call yourself the magic yard sale lady!
ReplyDeleteI love the forks and all their detail. I have a little camera collection too. My heart skips a beat when I see one at a sale
ReplyDeleteLove the forks!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your winnings from Sandy! I adore her blog...she's very witty. Hope you made it to some sales, it was slim pickins' here today, but we enjoyed the weather at least. Best, Vicki
That camera was a real bargain for only $1 and will make a great addition to your collection. Love the silverplate, too.
