Weekend junk finds: vintage Christmas and linens

The Mister had to work this weekend, so I actually hired a babysitter on Saturday morning for four hours just for the pleasure of going somewhere BY MYSELF. Of course, my first order of business was a little junking, and I found a family-run estate sale not too far away. It was really good--great prices and good vintage junk. Here's what I brought home:

A monkeypod wood tray from Hawaii for my upcoming Tiki party, a pair of salt and pepper shakers destined for Etsy, and a piece of off-white Haeger pottery.

A pretty tablecloth & napkin set in bright green and orange, still in original wrappings! Those are headed for Etsy as well.

Embroidered vintage linens (I never fail to be delighted at anthropomorphic veggies!)

Printed vintage linens

And vintage Christmas! Here we have a large Santa candle (not sure he's a Gurley, he may be one of the other brands whose name I can't remember now), a fancy plastic tree-topper, tinsel, a very old jointed naked baby doll, two very old teddy bears, and a pair of papier mache containers (the little girl next to Santa and the snowman) that I think are much older than the rest of the stuff.

I bought a huge box of old outdoor lights just to glean those fabulous swirly bulbs. I tossed all the cords--vintage electric stuff makes me nervous! The front reindeer on the silver Santa in back needs a bit of glue and it will be good as new. Lots of teeny-tiny Shiny Brites and a handful of vintage ornaments rounded out the lot.

I did drive across town to hit another estate sale but it was a bust, especially since I'd just found all of this great stuff for cheap! Today, I'm linking up with Selena's Thrift Share Monday. Go see what other good junk bloggers found this weekend!
