Goats like these? >>>

~

 

I like those goats, preferably without the Jamaican curry powder. It would gunk up the carburetors.

I hit a flea market this morning; it hit back. A sort of local historical society threw it, and I scored some gold and black coral earrings, an unmarked sterling bracelet, a pile of random beads, and a seriously cool music stand that probably cost me more than I can get out of it. The stand folds up into about a 1x2x8 inch size, On the way home I stopped in a charity thrift and found some plates @KingofThings would have jumped on too - US Navy china. For a buck.

 

And does this look like anyone we know?

 

Who ?
Who ?
C'mon, you can let the cat out of the bag !!!!

 

Bagkitte
Bagcette

 

Carbs would NOT like that one bit.

Currbuerators...maybe.

 

Got this today. Seller had it marked as McCoy. Can anyone confirm?

 

I have no idea, but it's cute! Maybe you could post a thread about it in Pottery, Glass, and Porcelain. ...

Only you got that Lloyd.

 

Thanks for the link. There is some traces of yellow paint left on my piece. I think that is a good sign for authenticity. So many fakes/reproductions out there for McCoy .... makes me really nervous and for good reason since I believe I have fallen for a few in the past.

 

You are right in as much it's Grays Pottery who Susie Cooper worked/ designed for but it only says Sunbuff and the Grays logo underneath.

 

I'm getting to prefer the Jumble/rummage to the Charity shops and boot sales now. I normally get at least one good item in the bric-a-brac. Some of the old fabric is good too.
The charity shops round here aren't as they were in that the Managers want the shop to look like boutiques so I think a lot of the old stuff doesn't even make it onto the shelves.

 

Since this is a FINDS thread, I just "found" this image buried on my computer!!!!! It's of what my Mom called her mostly "Dump Bracelet"!! ALL of the items on it were found in the Block Island DUMP....ahem....now known as the "Recycling Center"....in the late '50's and early '60's when old houses were being bought and emptied out!!! We'd all have to traipse to the dump with Mom and start pickin'....of course we were interested in kids stuff and she had the 'eagle eye' out!!!! This is the best I can do for an image until I get it out of a SD box to look under a microscope!!!! NOW I'm remembering all the fun we had!!!!! She'd keep the 'dump gold in a box......all but the two X's were found there......and there was more, but this just made up one great bracelet!!!!! And Yes, guys, the wrench works!!!!!

 

How cool is that?

 

@Bakersgma, thanks!! I think it's VERY cool.....to make it a little more (if you like strange!!) interesting.....short version: the top red X 'blob' is a gold casting of the 32 cal bullet that Mom shot herself in the leg with one night after she and Dad had been out partying.....she had a habit of sleeping with her hand gun......I got the gold copy, one bro got the real item...........BIZZAAARRRRO!!!!!!! At times we were an interesting family, but then what family wasn't!!!!!
