Valley Girls Junque with a Q Sale




The Valley Girls Junque Sale plans are gearing up and I'm starting to select treasures to send to new homes. I bought this very vintage set of Shell Pink Ware in San Antonio a few years ago...don't know how old it is, but it has tiny little butter pat plates...yes, butter pat plates! It is such a sweet set and I just know it will find a new home with someone lovely...in addition to the serving bowls, there are three different size individual bowls in this luncheon set...a little berry bowl, a cereal bowl and a salad size bowl...certainly from a bygone era! I'm not even sure of the names of that many different bowls...when was the last time you saw a butter pat plate (if ever)?
We have lots of pretty things and tons of shabby chic items and some really rustic one-of-a-kind treasures...you name it and one of us has probably has a collection of it!
The sale will be the perfect setting for a reunion of Valley Girls and our Central Texas friends...

Limping Deer and the Twins

They are still spotted at this time.

Show and Tell Sunday June 15

Flea Market Finds...sounds like my whole house and yard...

Milk Glass Collection

Milk Glass Collection
Who knew that a 25 cent flea market find would unleash such a collecting frenzy? I never pay more than a dollar unless it's a really nice piece. They are great grouped with a single daisy in each.

These used to be inexpensive florist vases in the 50's and 60's. Everyone's Grandmother had bunches.

Mexicana Dishes

My sister found these for me at Bussy's Flea Market in San Antonio, Texas. I had seen pictures in her Fiesta reference book. Mexicana was also made by Homer Laughlin in the 30's. I had been looking for several years without ever finding even a single piece when she found the set...with a promise to hold it for us, she came running to find me and I bought the entire set...60+ pieces for $50.

I've added to the set over the years, but the price and experience will never match that first amazing find.

Vintage Kitchen Hutch

When my hubby found this hutch it was Pepto pink and I was not 100% sure about it. But with a new red back and fresh white paint and refurbished hardware, it became one of my favorite pieces.

Nancy made me save the vine

Nancy made me save the vine
The vine and flowers painted on the inside were in such bad shape that I was ready to remove it all. Nancy -My Crafty Little Page convinced me to keep it and after some touch-up work, I'm glad I listened to her. My husband restores vintage Cushman motorscooters and he tries to make everything "mint" condition again. The Shabby Chic movement came along just in time to keep me from making some terrible mistakes.
