Buckets, ornaments, and a chippy hanging light thing.
Do you see what I see? Cloche potential!
I'm also glad I asked about these black metal boxes. Maybe I'll add a little bling and use them as plant holders. What could they be? Care to take a guess before scrolling down?
Payphone coin boxes!!
They fit inside the locked pay phone and had tops on them with slots for the coins to drop through.
I bought nine of them complete with their carrying case.

It's been ages since I found yardsticks at a price I could afford, so I didn't hesitate to grab this bunch before someone else discovered them. Before I got out the door at the estate sale, I had a man offer me double for what I paid for the windmill. I turned down his measly $4 offer.
I think the jeweled shoe clip is the only embellishment this old scoop needs. I'm thinking it would make a great candle holder.
I bought these beauties from two women who had just inherited a massive collection of vintage jewelry from their neighbor. Of course, I was more than happy to help them unload it. I see another corsage bracelet making marathon in my near future.
I'd love for you to stay connected with My Salvaged Treasures. I'm just one click away.

Oooo so many cool treasures!
ReplyDeleteOMG Betsy, I'm drooling over here! This is for sure a haul! I'm totally in LOVE with the chippy yellow cage light fixture. Everything else is fabulous too. How cool to find these payphone coin boxes and the tripod adjustment knobs. What rare finds! I wouldn't have let the windmill gone so cheap either. It's such a great decoration piece.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend :) !
Hugs,
Julia
Betsy, you do have the best eye! I love that yellow cage light also. What fun you will have with that. The telephone coin boxes are so fun!!! Love to see when you get new bling! Happy Weekend!

Oh the coin boxes & the windmill!!! $4 bucks? Not.A.Chance.....
ReplyDeleteI love the black bucket with the fruit on it! I'd use that as a waste can. And I adore old Christmas ornaments. I was going to guess the payphone containers had something to do with photography. . .
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I especially like those payphone coin boxes! Great finds. Hope you enjoy the weekend with your new treasures.

Of course it is a haul -- with or without a trunk! Small, sweet, lovely, clever things needn't be large -- just "right!"
ReplyDelete& this is why we all have to stop at estate sales, garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets..... thrill of the hunt! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI would have never guessed what the black boxes and red knobs were.
ReplyDeleteLove the pile of bling.
Saw lots of sale signs when out yesterday, but did not stop at any.
Enjoy the weekend.
Nice haul!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted one of those windmills. I agree with you about the yardsticks, Betsy, it is really hard to amass a group for a project when they are selling for 8.00 each at auctions. The collectors of yardsticks seem to get them and maybe that is the way it should be. As usual, I am inspired by your fabulous and creative mind. I think you are the best out there.

Betsy, what a fabulous assortment! I would have never guessed about the payphone coin boxes--things like that intrigue me. The jewelry...sigh! Thank you for sharing your treasures @Vintage Charm! Blessings, Cecilia
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite thing is those metal boxes.
ReplyDeleteYou bring home a lot, but you do such fun things with them and then you sell them. It's a win-win.
Great junk Betsy and it will soon be treasures once you get your hands on it!
ReplyDeleteLove those old metal boxes...would never have guessed phone booth (thinking something to do with photography)...how cool is that!!! So many altered option with these babies. Don't you just love finding something you need to restock with at a decent price and isn't it wonderful when someone wants to double the price of an item you just snagged? You did good...nice haul!!! Have a lovely week ~ Mickie
ReplyDeleteGreat haul, Betsy!!! I need to go with you one of these days. I was too lazy to go to the Sacramento flea this morning :( and then when I see your haul . . . there's always next month! Love the phone booth coin boxes!!! So cool!
