This week has been busy, busy, busy with my son's school stuff, so I haven't had a lot of time to do a lot of thrift store shopping, but I did manage to make it to two garage sales today and picked up a few items.
Like this old camera to add to my small vintage camera collection.
An Imperial Mark XII 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.
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!

Look 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.

You 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.

I especially love the silverware. I think you should call yourself the magic yard sale lady!

I 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

Love the forks!
Congrats 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.
