10. rummage sale report

Gee.

The sale today wasn't a tenth as good as in years past. Much less merchandise was donated, apparently.

That said, I did manage to score a beautiful large Bauer mixing bowl; green. It's exactly like my grandmother's. I had already passed this table twice, but on the third go-round I picked up a large lid to see what was underneath. Bauer bowl!! Happy dance!!

I had to fend off two people who tried to take the bowl out of my cart.

No linens, dammit, except a dozen cutwork napkins.

No mid-century stuff.

I did get some red-handled vintage kitchen tools for a dime apiece.

And I missed on a very cool vintage kitchen scale. I saw it just as someone put her hand on it. Gah!

I picked up a hand-painted tray; sort of folk-ish. Normally I would pass that by but this one looks as if the tray is hand-hewn underneath. Interesting. No sticker. And how can a person lose for fifty cents?
