I took these pictures at the Treasure Mart when my daughter Kathy and I were there last Saturday. Here's a cute little play toaster for children . I thought it was in good shape and pretty.
This is a toaster from Fiesta ware....well who knew ? Not me. I loved the curved top.
This is a real treasure. It looked new, but did not have a power cord with it. I remember my mom's friend gave her an old toaster like this and it worked, so we used it for years.
Here's some different kinds of toasters. LOL. Toby ale steins. I guess you could make a toast with these.
This metal goat was adorable. Someone is very talented. It was about two feet tall and three feet long.
These are the treasures I came away with. Silver plated place card holders in the shape of birds sitting on a branch.....the silver had been stripped off. Someone wanted the silver I guess. Two friendship cards, a wee dish from Washington's Mount Vernon home. A sweet cow creamer, that I remembered Linda of Isty Bits and Pieces had one ...so I thought I have to have one also. :):) You know how we are girls.
So look how cute it really is, I love it. It says cream on the other side.
Plus who would not want this tin. It must have been filled with hand tools for Christmas season. It says Sears Roebuck & Co. also has a craftsman decal. Looks like a dark haired lady is driving. On top of the tin is a decal of screw drivers and wrenches.
My daughter got herself a couple of bags full of fancy buttons and sewing trims. Right up that girl's alley. She purchased a metal scrolled fire screen. So pretty. Kathy says she is putting it in her flower garden. That will be cute.
Hope all of you are getting ready for a wonderful fun filled weekend. June is slipping by my friends. Let us enjoy all this good summer time. XO
A good haul. I haven't seen those Fiesta ware toasters. They are neat.

ReplyDeletecute treasures..i haven't been thrifting in awhile...better go before I lose my touch...lol
ReplyDeleteBJ, I do not bring home as much as I once did. I do love just looking too. Like seeing the old fashioned toaster...made me think back to when I was young and home with my big old family. I miss those days...those days that used to make me half crazy from want. Days I thought I would never miss, funny how our lives change. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteYou found some good things! I just love the thrill of the hunt! June is just about over! It's just 66 days and a wake up to my all time favorite day of the year - September 1st!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am about to think auntumn will be better than this spring/summer has been for many of us. I am sick of our rains. We may have some flooding and that does not make me happy. Take care of yourself and LD..Love, Susie
DeleteLove the old toasters..Those Steins have been around a long time..If in perfect condition, they could be worth something to somebody....
ReplyDeleteMissy, I liked that fiesta toaster's shape. I have seen Toby steins on antique shows before . Hope you have a good weekend, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Susie, I love your treasures you brought home. It was fun to see the different toasters, too. Walking thru antique stores always jogs my childhood memories too. Have a nice weekend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteMildred, There's plenty of dishes and glass wares in the mart. I like seeing old jewelry also. That would be a good place to get started if you needed some furnishings. xoxo,Susie
DeleteThese are all adorable, Susie. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, I am glad you stopped by. I have been visiting your blog, but unable to leave comments. I liked your pictures today. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

Kris, I think I am going to paint the card holders white , then I can use them with any dishes. Hope you are staying dry...I am so tired of all this rain. :( Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI do so love seeing your finds.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time I would have bought more....but I try to not get too many things. I try to find things with a true purpose, or that I can re-think a purpose for them. xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat fun you had! We are staying in a lot here! The high temperature today was 95 degrees - too hot for outside fun! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteNellie, This is not the June I have been longing for. I am amazed at the hot temperatures forecasted for the US. I understand why you are staying in more. Me too. I think the mosquitoes will be keeping us in also. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIsn't that little toaster cute? What great things and I am glad you dd got some buttons and trim. I love that cute little car /tool holder at the end. Hope you have a great night- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Diana, I like looking at all that stuff. I am anxious to see what my daughter does with the buttons. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Deletealways fun to go treasure hunting and to bring some new goodies home! have a great weekend!

Deletethe toasters are beautiful aren't they and that goat! I love it, the sound of the fancy buttons makes me smile, I love buttons,, I hope you show us her creations, you always show us the best treasures!!!Have the best weekend!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, I am going to take a picture of a purse Kathy made for her sister Angie...she's very creative and like I said so good with sewing. She has sometimes used buttons in her jewelry. Blessings , hug the new baby for me. , xoxo,Susie
DeleteThe first toaster is very art deco which I like very much, and you never know when you need a fake goat.
ReplyDeleteB.B. Fake animals are the best...they do not shed, bite, eat your good things and poo in the house. Plus they do not bark all the time. LOL. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI love to go to those places and look, even if I don't buy something.

ReplyDeleteLook at all the treasures! Yes, those are steins, and they are a large mug for beer. Jess brought back one for her dad when she visited Germany. They are so cool. Love the little cow creamer too. It looks very vintage.
