A Lego (Japanese company in the 50s) paper mache bottle topper - she looks grecian to me!
This truly adorable girl (chalkware, plaster?) bookend. I love her kneesocks and her hands! There's a sticker on the bottom that says "Given to Bette about 1930" and it is stamped "Genuine Lucas-Ware" copyrighted. She is my favorite thing of the day!
Then Katie and I stopped at some tag sales on the way to Cracker Barrel (we don't have them in NY, so we don't go out of state without stopping for some, even if it is not on the way). One was giant furniture (um, that's a furniture sale, not a tag sale -sorry to sound snotty, but it was FAR off the beaten path and only had TREMENDOUS furniture for sale), and the other was completely overpriced (a $40 pitcher, from your garage?). Then, we went to a tag sale in a lady's basement and it was packed with all sorts of things! My best find?
Tons of vintage cards! In boxes! Never used! With envelopes! And they are AMAZING! Seriously, I want to send everyone to myself because they are so cute-adorable-graphically HAPPY! love love LOVE!
Then we had Cracker Barrel, and belted out Chicago ballads on the traffic-y way home. A magical Sunday, indeed!

Love the lions! I was at an estate with a ton of those Lego paper mache women...wasn't sure about them at the price they were asking..but they were cool!
Where in NY are you? I grew up near Poughkeepsie. (there was a Cracker Barrel in Fishkill when I left about 10 years ago...not sure if it's still there?)
I'm on Long Island! Fishkill is about the same distance as the one that is near Bridgeport, CT.
Lots of lovely finds, I love the cards. Not very often do you run across that many in the box and unused. Lucky you!
Love admiring at your great finds! I especially love thos vintage cards. Thanks for sharing!
Those lion salt and pepper shakers are the cutest ever!
