Lately, the yard sale treasures seem to be pretty few and far between (although I do love that vintage embroidered towel I got last week for just 25 cents...that I posted here several days back). Yesterday I got two things that really pleased me and I want to share them with you. One was this Jim Shore Easter figurine. (Sorry the photo is blurry.) I got it for just ONE dollar!!! I was tickled pink about that, I can assure you, because it goes for something like $20 in the store or online! This will look very nice alongside the Jim Shore Easter basket I already have in my collection.
The other purchase was this tin that has a lid that looks (both inside and outside) like the top to a blueberry pie....and the inside of the can looks like a whole bunch of blueberries in a pie. It was just 50 cents and I had to take it home with me. I really like it!

Ooo lovely finds Pat. I love the tin too, makes you wonder where people pick this stuff up originally. I've never seen anything like it in a store.

Too cute. I love them both, but the tin is the best. You can hold a little hand sewing project in there. Thanks for sharing.

I've collected tins in the past and had to purge my collection because I just didn't know what to do with so many. However, if I had the blueberry pie tin, it would have be a keeper!
Great finds! I love that Jim Shore figurine. You got a deal!
Aren't yard sales wonderful? Those are really great finds. I'm looking forward to a big yard sale in Gaithersburg next Saturday. wish me luck!

WOW, Jim Shore!!! Lucky Lucky! Those are a couple of great treasures and for such a small investment. I can see why people go to yard sales. Enjoy!
