My last post was about finding an empty (but fab!) bag while junking in Bend, Oregon. Here's the tale of an entirely different kind of bag.
This little hut/thrift store in Bend was having a "Fill a bag for $3" sale. So I did just that..I filled a bag for $3...and here's what I brought home:
A delicious variety of plastic grapes, a blue spotty enamel bowl, vintage millinery lemons & oranges, a picket fence for a fairy garden, 4 wooden doll forms and a troll who resembles Albert Einstein.
And these sweet, hand carved cartoonish animal...napkin holders (?) These fall into one of my favorite categories of junk: The "objects made by somebody's grandpa a long, long time ago" category. Not a bad haul for the price of a cappuccino. What treasure/s have you found recently for $3. Do tell!

Oh, the napkin rings are sweet. I'd say that's definitely what they are. And yeah, certainly a grandad make.
Great finds! Do you have any crafting plans for those doll forms?
You asked what I've found recently for $3.00. For less than that sum, I purchased two tins and a 1968 McCall's pattern for making vintage crafts. You can see these finds on my blog:

Looks like you found a great little shop. I will be in Bend in May....want to share the address of the shop? The napking rings are adorable!

I love your fun finds and am also partial to the grandpa-made-it stuff. *grin*
I just picked up a fonky (not the fun 70's funky - it was FONKY) green birdcage with even FONKIER nick nack birds in it for $3. I de-fonkied it & painted it white & now its cute as can be!
