The other day I was driving down Stanton Street when I saw some people sitting on their porch, surrounded by stuff they no longer loved. No sign...just items dragged out onto the front lawn. At first, it looked pretty dull, but then I saw a pile of boxes covered with dust and spider webs. I took a peek and my blood pressure went through the roof...vintage gloves, small pottery pieces, carved wood treaures....I think you get the gist. I said to the gal running the sale: "You and I have the same taste." Her response: "It's my grandma's stuff. I just want to get rid of it."
Oh! I think I can help you with that, sista! Here's the loot....
Vintage gloves (Pink! Lavendar!) Italian pottery, never used floral doilies, French perfume bottle, tiny wood clogs and box,
Italian ink well, millinery fruit, M.A. Hadley plate, metal S & P & O & V,
Binoculars, vintage cards (2 unopened decks from the Desert Inn in Las Vegas!), a vintage seashell book for making greeting cards and a Joan Walsh Anglund book for my sister Kathy.
I might drive by this morning to see if they left anything out by the curb...

Wow...you certainly hit the randomness jackpot there. I would have peed my pants had I come across a score like that. The vintage goddesses were very good to you!
You have got to be the Queen of good luck and fabulous finds, the Sorceress of Sales and the Goddess of Great Garage acquisitions.
How sad that they did not even realize what they had! What treasures!
Love those Accidents!!! You got some good stuff! Love the gloves.
Law, what a gorgeous lot of goodies you got...
Lucky one,

Score! I'll never understand people who don't share out taste, but I'm so glad they're out there! Fun stuff!
Those binocs look like opera glasses...good score! Jill
How lucky for you!!! I feel bad when people "just want to get rid of" stuff, especially if it's grandma's. But perhaps they needed some extra cash. One day they may wish they had kept some of those treasures. I know you will put them all to good use...
Oh my gosh! I just found your blog through Shara at Monkeybox and I was hooked right away! I love the way you write! I can't tell you enough how funny you are and I love your treasures! I read through many of your posts and love that you stopped some man along the freeway! LOVE IT!!!

Her grandma would be so happy to have it go to a loving home.
I hope you also found some curbside goodies the next day.
Unbelievable...you did good! :)
