At left we have 2 sets of Japanese sta
cking mugs. I have no idea why I keep buying these; maybe it's because all the cool girls have them, and I want to be like the cool girls. I don't drink coffee or hot chocolate and they don't sell well on eBay, so I have no idea what I'm going to do with them. The bowl is vintage Color Craft aluminum and was 30 cents. 
Next up we have 2 vintage Fire-King mugs. Both were 60 cents each and both will go on eBay in a lot of FK mugs I've been collecting. The Jingle Bells were in a bag of other sewing supplies I bought a little while back. The 2 vintage pillowcases will be made into dresses, eventually. The pink one in the front is actually the same as one I bought earlier this summer and made into a dress for a friend's daughter. Funny that I'd find another!
I bought these three flower pins a couple of weeks ago. The pink one isn't vintage (it's Joan Rivers) but I thought it was cute and I am a sucker for polka dots. The gold one has little wires in the middle that are topped with little rhinestones in 2 different shades of green. I thought the greens would be pretty for fall. The one at bottom right is special. It's sterling silver and turquoise and mother of pearl and is marked TAXCO. I haven't been able to figure out who the artist was (it is marked with initials) or an approximate date yet, which I'd like to do before I list it on eBay. It's a pin but also has a loop for hanging from a chain. It's pretty, but not my style so I hope it sells well!There's more, but Blogger won't cooperate so those will have to wait until another post.
Great finds. I love those mugs! I also found some like this on Monday. I haven't posted photos yet. I totally agree. I really have enough mugs but they are just too neat not to buy. Especially since they are usually cheap.
ReplyDelete"all the cool girls have them.." LOL! Thanks for the giggle this morning. I like those mugs as well. They are very cheerful.
