Boy oh boy did I luck out yesterday! As I was driving to the grocery store I saw a garage sale sign and decided to check it out. I drove back a road some ways and then saw a large garage with 1970's furniture and kids bikes out front. I got that "Oh there is nothing here for me" feeling, if you frequent garage sales you know just what I mean.
Well boy was I wrong! I walked inside the garage and what did I see among lots of outdated clothes and ugly lamps, but this beauty! I couldn't believe my eyes and it was only $5!
I have lots of yellowware bowls but none in this soft creamy white color.
It is right at home on my kitchen island and call me cheesy but I talk to it every time I walk past it, I just love it so much. It made my day and to top it off I got free fish to cook up for dinner from the guy at the antique place I stopped at on my way home (that's another story).
So the moral of the story is...if you go to a garage sale and all you see are kids clothes and toys don't be scared off you just never know what might me hiding in there!
Oooooh, that is a lucky find! It is a beautiful bowl and such a great price!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure. . .it's a beaut, it was cheap and it *needed* to be in your kitchen. . . and since you talk to it all the time it probably feels right at home. . . Have a good weekend Megan. . .
ReplyDeleteGreat find. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great score! It looks perfect in your kitchen! (Good thing you didn't turn around and leave right away :)

That is such a pretty bowl and what a fantastic price. No wonder you talk to it! I too ventured out today to a garage sale I saw on craigslist. They were holding it, " rain, sleet or snow." Yes it is 32 degrees in Minneapolis today and snowing. We have never seen this before! I saw some things in the photos online and didn't think I had a prayer of getting them, but I did, even when I arrived rather late. One was a gorgeous white ironstone covered (small) tureen ($5) and two white ironstone serving bowls that were $1 each. I also picked up 3 vintage plant "frogs" for $1 for all. There wasn't too much competition in this weather!
ReplyDeleteI agree, that is one mighty sweet creamy bowl, feels good huh!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find.
ReplyDeleteAnd at an amazing price, that makes it even better.
Looks perfect in your beautiful kitchen.

Score!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous yellowware bowl. Awesome find! Janice
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful and it looks perfect in your kitchen! I have to remember your advice, even if it looks like it's all 70's stuff, maybe grandma left a few things, too!
ReplyDeleteXO,

What a great find! My 14 year old son and I are headed out in the morning. One of our favourite activities this time of year.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely found the diamond in the middle of the coal!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous. It is beautiful! What a great find. I also love the pretzel rods in the glass jar. I'm going to copy that :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! I'm envious. Hubby is always saying--just by driving by--that a yard sale is not a good one. I don't listen! I make him turn around and go back. Most of the time, he finds things he's looking for. You never know!
ReplyDeleteOh my,just a beautiful early yelloware bowl...five dollars
ReplyDeletewhat a steal! Corinne
The bowl is a real beauty...and such a lovely color combination!
ReplyDeleteOooooooo… I LOVE yellow ware bowls. I have found a few at garage sales, but they are very hard to find anymore for the CHEAP price I want to pay. You will have to check out my "collections" post that I just did on yellow ware! (-:
