Junque finds, Saturday

With Quin gone, I haven't been able to go out yard-saling as much as I'd like because I'd have Maren in tow, and it's just too difficult with her. I'd be getting her in and out of the carseat every 5 minutes, and trying to hold her while I shopped would be a nightmare for us both! This weekend my Dad is visiting, so I took advantage of a free and willing babysitter to get up EARLY yesterday morning and hit a few sales. I found some good things, nearly all for resale. I hope to get them listed on eBay on Tuesday evening, so if I do I'll post here with a link to may page so you can check them out if you're curious!
Vintage 1967 Spirograph game. I remembered reading on Yardsalequeen.com that someone sold one of these for pretty good $$ so I snatched it up! When I got it home I noticed it is missing some parts, so that will most definitely affect the value. Maybe someone will want it for parts though, so I'll list it anyway. In the box there was also an unopened package of scratchboard and 3 unopened packages of Solar Print paper, which I'll be using for my Cub Scouts! Even if the game doesn't sell for much, I think all that stuff was worth $.50!


Vintage 'Hip Nip' flask, $.25. I'm not a drinker and I think this is pretty darn ugly, but I'm hoping to find a flask collector out there who will think this is great! It is kinda funny.










Very old ViewMaster and 5 reels, $5.00. This is very cool! I'm guessing this is the original VM. The reels are marked 1946. There was a set of 6 and I'm missing #3, but I'm guessing it will still sell well. I hope so! This was priced at $9.99, but the thrift where I bought it was having a 50% off sale.







1979 Disney Lil Yakkers toy, still in package, $5.99. I'm worried that I paid too much for this one. I thought it would be 50% off, but when I got to the register it was the only label price that wasn't discounted. Grr! I gambled and bought it anyway, hoping that the facts that it is still in the package and Disney will make it desirable to somebody!






Old baby quilt, $1.00. This has a few stains, but I'll soak them in my trusty Oxyclean and cross my fingers. I loved the printed fabric on this quilt! Too darn cute. Not that I need another baby blanket, but I just couldn't pass this up.









Length of Michael Miller fabric, $3.00. I haven't measured how many yards of this are there, but I can tell it's quite a bit, probably 4 or 5 yards. MM fabric is cute, it's meant to be retro-looking so that's why it caught my eye. Even though it looks kind of Easter-y, hopefully it will still sell well, as I don't want to hold onto it until next spring. My Strawberry Shortcake fabric did so well last week that I bought this hoping for a repeat performance!





Peanuts Christmas cookie cutters, $2.00. This was probably priced a little high, but Peanuts stuff usually does pretty well. I sold some Snoopy cutters earlier this year that I'd bought at a garage sale a long time ago.








1981 Fisher Price Teddy Bear music box, $2.00. Vintage Fisher Price stuff is collectible, so I hope this one will sell! It was made to strap onto the side of a crib and plays a lullaby.
















Two old patterns, $.50. This was the only thing I bought yesterday to keep for myself, and I bought them on a complete whim! I was inspired by all the smocks over at Angry Chicken and when I saw these two patterns for smocks, I got a wild hair and bought them. I don't know how difficult they are--hopefully Simplicity will live up to its name--but I think I may give one a whirl! If I manage, I'll be sure to post, because it will be one for the record books for certain.




Old embroidered linen fingertip towel or napkin and packaged baby buttons, $.50 each. These were actually from earlier, but they are to keep. The napkin will go in the dresser with the other embroidered linens that I love but am too afraid to actually use, and the buttons are really cute but I don't think I can bear to rip up the packaging and remove them, so there they'll stay!
