So, I emptied out my memory card and spent the morning in the basement getting some more auction goody photos!
I don't know what it is about a tin of water color paints that makes me smile!
This chip and dip dish was in one of the boxes with the Santa Claus. It was a convenient bowl to grab when we found the stash of eggs beside the heating unit. Cora told on Shakira when she went over to add an egg to the pile! Thanks Cora!
This piece of metal rests against the ceiling with a chandelier hanging from it. Any kind of funky shaped metal goes into my pile for my future whirligig. I have to learn how to weld first! My pile is getting really big.
Vintage Christine, are you paying attention? I didn't want you to feel alone with your horse themed posts this week.

I have no idea what the heck that bird thing is, but I am having some sort of palpitations over those kitty cat planters! What a great haul of goodies!
What a junker's dream!!! Did you just die and go to Heaven from the excitement of going through all your goodies when you got home from the auction? I really have enjoyed all your posts, but the last two had me drooling. Must get a rag to wipe off the keys here...

I am having some serious envy here! I love your treasures. The little ceramic creamer is too cute! I also love old restaurant dishes. Something about them just evokes comfort to me. Ok I could go on and on about your finds. Just know I'm having to control myself right now from jumping in my car and heading your way!
Fantastic goodies!
I have a collection of vintage art supplies and quite a few of the old watercolor paint tins. They are adorable!
The green box will make great storage space...
Wow! Does Tony know how much you spent? Not that's it's any of his business! LOL Just kidding. Anyway don't know what that bird thing is, but I'd agree that it's kinda neat. The painted glasses reminded me of when I was a kid. I had a collection of Muppets Take Manhatten and other Muppet glasses from Mickey D's. Don't know what ever happened to them, but I'd suspect they prolly got broke at some point. I miss those buggers. They'd prolly be worth something some day.

Anna! Wow look at all th neat stuff you got. I think my favorites are the Tin Horse plates : ) Between you and Christine you've both got me wanting to Do a 1950's western bedroom! haha I have a chip and Dip set similar to yours! Mines Emerald green with matching candle sticks.
Well, I love your stuff today! The paint box is sweet. I, too, love the old restaurant dishes. Anything by Syracuse or Shenango is sure to make my socks roll up and down!!!! I love both of those painted glasses as well, and I have the turquoise scoop along with a couple of red ones!
I have no edumacation for you in the winged friends department... but DANG woman! You made off like a bandit from that auction!!! I love the teaspoons and the pitchers and the plates... oh heck - i love it all AND the hats! LOL
Okay - I'm watching to see who can tell you about the birds...

As for the cat planters - snake plants and those weird snake like succulents...pointy tails and droopy tails!

When's the next auction? I'm comin' up, gol darn it! I want those kitty planters more than life itself--my first thought was that they were McCoy stretch but on closer exam I don't think so. Did you Google "cat planters with no cat butts"? That last thing is undoubtedly something someone made under the influence of LSD. I think you should accidentally drop it . . . And of course I adore the horsey stuff (although I've already moved on today to circusey).
I love the kitties and the spoons!!! I have no idea what on earth that last pic is. Strange! I need to go shopping with you!
I think the ceramic thingy with fake birds all over is is simply......drum roll please......A BIRD FEEDER! Looks like something that you would hang out of a window and put seed in it to watch the birdies chow down. Maybe some one lived in the city and felt they needed to adorn it with facsimile birdies. Thats my guess and I'm stickin' to it! What a wonderful bounty!
I love all your things!
I think that your 'strawberry pot' is an egg seperator though.
The cats are brilliant :o)
