Weekend Finds

We had loads of fun going to local garage sales.  We look for unique items that seem to speak to us.  We don't always have a list or anything specific in mind. We aren't seeking high end antiques, but rather the odd or interesting items. 

These liquor bottles aren't particularly rare, but we're going to print some of the online spooky Halloween labels to set up a creepy mantle this fall.  One of the larger ones is marked "Glasgow - Scotland".  It's a reminder of an amazing trip to Ireland and Scotland about ten years ago.  
When we bought the cabin, there were a few bowls from this line left in the cupboard.  Our cousin, Frances, gave us another one from her cabin.  We found this one last weekend.  It's a perfect salad size.  
The color and graphics on this cookbook grabbed our attention.  It's funny to see how so many things have changed and yet so many things have remained the same over the years.  Anyone cooking with lard these days?
 
We couldn't resist this vintage apron.  It's most likely from the 1950.  It's a travel souvenir.  The original price is still stapled on the little tag on the waistband, $2.00.  We wish we knew someone from Texas who might like this.
