Dedicated to Mom and Dad~Garage Sale Treasures

It has been one year today that I have been blogging
 and I have loved every minute of it.
Meeting new friends and learning new things. 
Looking forward to more dreams to come.
Thanks Carly and Justin for making it happen. Love you~

I went to a garage sale 
 and found some wonderful treasures. 
I  spent only $50 for all these incredible antiques.
I didn't know that Valley Farm's named an ice cream after Bing Crosby in 1953.



Found this old measuring bottle.
I added this old iron to my collection.
A 1920 label for
 Betty Ann Baking Powder.


An old Lemon Flavoring Bottle
My favorite find an old Way Rite Scale...
I love the color.

Love the old label.
Spicy Apple Waffle Recipe,
 sounds good! 
Shasta Water Seltzer Bottle

The Uniform Nut Meat Chopper
It dates back to 1940-1950
Can't wait to find a special
 spot for all my new treasures. 
Whenever I would see my mom 
on Saturdays, we would 
go to garage sales together. 
It was the thrill of the hunt. 
Miss you mom...

  10. Beautiful finds! Like everyone else I'm eyeing that scale :)

    I have to wonder what purpose a "nut meat chopper" had in the kitchen!

    Just think, we'd be hoarders if we kept all of the same stuff now, but it's so fun to find that kind of stuff when you're thrifting and hitting yard sales.

    Take care,

    1. The nut meat chopper, at least in my mother's kitchen, took whole walnuts and chopped them up to use in recipes, like chocolate chip cookies, brownies, etc. Mom's had red painting with a pretty border of something I don't remember specifically, and the front panel pulled up. I think from time to time of how I'd love to have this or another item from her home, but my sister got rid of everything :-(.

  11. Oh that scale! You made some delightful finds. So good to be reminded of our loved ones that have past on. Gone, but certainly not forgotten; you've reminded me of my own sweet momma today!

  15. My scale is boring black, but it is old and it is functional as well as decorative. We hit a couple tag sales yesterday too, but no antiques we wanted and had space for. One sale had a lot of antiques, but not things we could use/display. We got more practical, useful things yesterday. You were the lucky shopper!
