rummaged

Twice a year, the Visiting Nurse Association of Somerset Hills has the most amazing rummage sale.  They take donations for about a month and then have a huge sale that takes place over three days.  They have several tents and you travel from tent to tent looking at TONS of things for sale.  Today, I was at the sale for about two hours.  I went into their Kitchen, Housewares, Furniture, Vintage, Office, Toy, and Appliances tents.  I came away with some good deals and spent a total of $60.  Here are a few of my treasures:

clockwise from top left: 1.  some toys and things from the 1980s (the Mr. Sketch markers will be blogged about soon)  2. Little Twin Stars Kiki & Lala dolls from 1976 (not in the best condition, but I have never seen them before)  3. various kitchen and household items (the white dishes are ceramic serving dishes from Eastern Airlines; the little enamel teapot is an addiction of mine - I buy them every time I see one)  4.  a three tier corner plant stand (I have wanted this exact stand for quite some time)  5. some plush tomato or apple guy (anyone know what it is?)  6.  some string art from 1967

There are a few other items, but I didn't get around to photographing everything.  Now I just have to start my countdown to the next VNA sale!

Thanks Josie! This paticular sale is about the only one in NJ that is consistently good. That being said, good or bad, I love going to just about any rummage sale. I think it is the joy of the hunt :)
