Junque, part 1

Old Ball canning jar, $.69 and two pillowcases, about $1.00 for both. I was totally excited to find the canning jar, and for so cheap. Now, if I could only find some old marbles to go inside! The pillowcases are to make into pillowcase dresses.









Vintage Halloween cake picks, $.99. I have these up on eBay right now and there are no bids, but a couple of watchers. If they don't sell I may wait to relist them until the fall, when people have Halloween on their minds! I figured for a buck I couldn't go too wrong with these, even though many of them are broken. Hopefully some Halloween collector out there will want them.






Two old cookbooks, $1.29? and one old pattern, $.29. The title of the cookbook on the left cracks me up! It was put out by Slovenian Women's Union of America in 1951, on the group's Silver Anniversary. I love that there are handwritten notes and recipes throughout the book. There are probably some really good recipes inside! The middle book is another 1050s cookbooklet-type with fun illustrations and scary-looking food.




Old aluminum cookie cutters, $.99. I haven't decided to keep or try to sell these. I don't think they'd bring very much as they are; I'd have to wait and see if I could find more to combine into a larger lot. The scottie dog is probably the most desirable of these, but I love the Santa as well. Wish I could find more of these, but this is the first time I've ever found old cookie cutters at a thrift.






Old utensils, $1.00 each and cookie cutters, $.25 each. These were from a really great garage sale that my mom and I found. I love the wood-handled utensils, especially the icing knife and the chopper, because they're unusual.








Vintage Christmas Tablecloth, $3.00 and vintage dishtowel, $.75. These were from the same garage sale as the items above. The seller must have either been a collector or had all her mom's or grandma's stuff, because she had a ton of it, lucky for us!









Old child's gloves, $2.00 and vintage embroidery transfers, $1.00. These were found at estates sales when I was out with my mom. The little gloves are sweet; I soaked them in Oxyclean and they came pretty clean. I have a couple of thrifted shadowbox frames upstairs that I might try to put these in, we'll see.







I also bought a couple of board games and a puzzle to try to resell. So far only one of the games has a bid, but it only cost me $.69 so if I make anything I'll be happy. I need to do the puzzle to see if it's complete, and if so I may try to list it with some other puzzles in a lot. They seem to do better that way unless they're very desirable, like the round puzzles I'll post in my next grouping!
