Another fun filled Saturday......first we hit the Flea Market and for less that ten dollars I thought I scored "pretty dang good".
A quilt square, two spice tins, four other tins, a box, ruler and set of Speedball Calligraphy pens nibs.
Love the "Ladies toilet pumice stone box", threw the pumice stone away...the box is the best part. Nifty blue pipe tobacco tin and under them is a very cool French cigarette box.
No one should be with out a tin of Nature's Remedy Laxative...I'm not sure how to tie that into pen nibs and a ruler except....great junk is truly in the "eye of the beholder". Then I found all of these medals.
I forgot to take a picture of the lovely crystal rosary beads that came with the medals. Some great jewelry making items here.
A who could live without this.........
this little contraption was used to roll your own cigarettes, back in the day.....my how times have changed!
We finished off the day at the Fairgrounds in Salem, watching our Granddaughter compete in the Oregon High School Equestrian Team District meet.
This is Nicole and her best buddy, Oreo.
Nicole and her team participating in Team Penning. The meet started yesterday and goes through tomorrow, lots of sitting in the cold and waiting for the next event. But, the kids have fun and learn new skills.
Fun way to start the weekend, I am hoping, for a little quieter day tomorrow, however.
Thanks for stopping by, I'm going to link up with Masterpiece Monday at Boogieboard Cottage and Sue's Rednesday.

You made some great finds and all for $10. That was a good or I should say a great day of Thrifty finds. ~~Sherry~~
You really scored big at the flea market. I used to love them but can't do it anymore. Now I have to get rid of.
Love and peace

I'm always a sucker for old tins, so I love all of your finds, especially that gorgeous blue tobacco tin! And that quilt square looks like it would make a lovely pillow!
Happy REDnesday!

Those are all great vintage finds. I would keep them. And. you certainly got them at a good price.
I do like the old cigarette tins
Wow! You got some awesome stuff! Some of my best finds have been the smaller ones. I like the graphics and color of the Edgeworth tin.
Old stuff! Fun stuff! Cheap stuff! Now, what could be better than that?
A RED-LESS DAY?

Don’t you think it’s very clear
That a red-less day’s a drag?”
