Vintage Thingies Thursday: Vintage Yard Sale Hunting
This Vintage Thingies Thursday I'm showcasing some of the vintage pieces I've picked up at the yard sales I've visited in the past few weeks. I absolutely love browsing yard sales. My dad always said he wanted a bumper sticker that said "I Brake For Yard Sales" and I've totally followed in his footsteps! I see that neon colored yard sale sign and my car is whipping a u-turn in the blink of an eye. Anyone else a die-hard yard sale person? I know I'm not alone!
So here's what I've found in the past few weeks:
10¢ measuring vase. "Italy" written on the bottom, six sides for rice, sugar, flour, mL, fl. oz., and cups. Rice, sugar, and flour are all written in 3 languages. (Blue paper inside to try to show off the markings, didn't work well!) Picture doesn't do this piece justice...
Pyrex container. Air tight seal. $1
Gemco sugar and creamer set (50¢ total). Green votive for size comparison. I think I'll put maple syrup in the creamer.
Anchor Hocking 3-piece Avocado Chip & Dip Set. Like new condition with original box. $3
Pristine Autumn Harvest 1.5 pint casserole dish. $2 (This is the third and last pattern I collect. The other two are Spring Blossom and Butterfly Gold).
Vintage avocado green Tupperware Pick-A-Deli, 25¢

I HAD a pick-a-deli BRAND NEW back in my newly wed days. Hmmmmmm wonder what in the WORLD ever became of that thing.
I actually really LIKED it, since we consume tons of dill pickle slices around here.
You sure found some treasures at unbelievable prices. Way to go!!
I am a junkaholic....yard sales, GW, TS you name it I love it.
Nice items you found there.
I am a yard sale girl too! hehehehe.. love the measuring vase.. and i can say that you got a really good find here! thanks for sharing & happy VTT
After dinner at your place, I saw the big bowl from your chip/dip set all by itself, no dip bowl or holder, for $14.00 at Four Corners Antiques. I thought you'd get a kick out of the killer deal.
I'd put syrup in the creamer, too. It's the first thing I thought of.
wow what fabulous things..bring back lots of memories!!..i love that red pyrex casserole dish :)
Amazing that they still had the original boxes for the dip dishes! Guacamole here you come:) Happy VTT!
I like the 3pc avocado chip and dip set.

I've never seen a measuring vase. Very cool. Love the Autumn Harvest bowl. Great finds.
That measuring vase is very interesting.
I love Pyrex casseroles. I have a couple sets in different sizes and patterns that all nest together. They have flat covers that can be stacked up too.I bought them when they were new.

I enjoyed your garage sale items very much. The measuring vase was my favorite and I do not recall ever seeing one like this.
That first one is so unusual! What a great find. And I love the red bowl with the wheat. I'm a sucker for anything red. And green. Be it the environment or just my own personal garden.

Wow - some great finds! I love the measuring vase - what a treasure!
I had the tupperware deli keeper and used it for my bread and butter pickles. Love all the autumn colors of your finds.
I'm impressed that you got so many comments--and you're not even giving anything away!
That's the beauty of the internet dear hubby (Stephen). And yes, there are others out there that love "junk" just as much as I do!
Great treasures at fantastic prices! Love the dip bowls...I remember my Mom would set out pretzels, chips and dip for her ladies card games! I was also struck by how the dip bowls were made with those nice dips on the rims :)
I love the little Gemco sugar and creamer. If you put it on Itsy I will make you an offer you can't resist.
That "scrambled" Fritata looks wonderful.
Hmmmm, that measuring cup is so perfectly vinatge, beauty!
