Saturday Auction - The Finds

Shabby Junk, Debbie and Ginger were so right about my new kids - aren't they the sweetest? 

Only Tamara guessed the other one...the crow!  I fell for him head over heels! He'll be decked out for Halloween and make his first appearance at Junk Bonanza.

The tiddly-winks game was really charming but someone else loved it waaaaaaay more than I did, so it did not come home with me.  I did however get this wonderful circa 1925 "portable office typewriter". It needs a cleaning and a ribbon; I'll be taking it in for that this week. I've had a hankering to type lately.

Who can resist a baby ring?  
(This one is now available on etsy.)
 

Some random silverplate pieces are now mine...

...and the creaminess of this circa 1880s stag pattern brown transferware won me over.
 I just love a good auction!

  1. Hi Jan, I loved that crow, so glad it was one of the items that you did buy, and the mannequins were also my fav. Fabulous! The transferware is also wonderful, Tamara x
