Thrifty shopping weekend

This past weekend Ken and I went to a few garage sales. It was fun, but we really didn't find much. I think the weather reports made people afraid it was going to be cold so they put their sales off. Quite a few of the sales that were advertised early in the week had their ad pulled late Wednesday and on Thursday. I didn't find anything 'shareworthy' so I am sharing a few things found in the past month. First up is this pretty coffeepot. It isn't really all crooked, I don't know how I manage to take such awful pictures sometimes! I found this at the same estate sale where I found last weeks birds. I think the reason it didn't sell earlier is because the previous owner had written 'Germany' on the side with some other words. When I rubbed it with my finger it didn't come off-but I thought the old Magic Eraser would take off the writing, and it did! Another find at that same sale: a little metal dogwood bloom and bird tray (?). It's about 3" long. I am using as a tray for by my sink when I need to take off my rings. And finally, one of my favorite recent Goodwill finds. How cool is this flour shaker?? So retro and the neatest color and font. I can just imagine the great things a baker did with this. It's about 4" tall and just feels really cool in the hand. I am hoping for it to find a happy home with an industrious baker who loves it as much as I do.
