Bigger than a Bread Box?

Well, one of this weekend's finds was.  Same size as a bread box?  Yup, got that covered as well!  Smaller than a bread box?  Found a few of those, too.

First, my favorite find of the weekend.  This great mid-century tension pole lamp was waiting for me at an estate tag sale.  I think that it is the perfect piece to have next to the swivel rocker I picked up a couple of weeks ago, and it makes the space the perfect reading nook.  I looked at this thing three times before finally deciding to fork over the $24 they were asking for it.  Thankfully it comes apart, or it wouldn't have made it home in my car!

At the same tag sale I picked up this great chrome Lincoln brand bread box.  I don't get to these sales to stand in line and wait - I always get there about 45 minutes or so into the sale once the initial rush is over.  Sure I miss out on some great things, but it isn't worth the headache to me.  That's why I was surprised this was still there.  $8.

For the smalls, I picked up this Town and Country Pyrex casserole with lid for $2, and the small Early American Pyrex Cinderella mixing bowl for $1.50.  The little Corning tea pot was $4, the recipe card holder with dividers and a stash of blank cards was 75 cents, and the turquoise dust pan was 50 cents.  I love finding vintage items that I can use at these sales.

After the tag sale, I went to an auction because they had some h.o. scale train stuff that I was interested in for a friend.  Needless to say, they were only running one ring, and at the rate they were selling things, they will still be there next Saturday.  So, since the trains were on a table to be sold later in the sale, I had to leave without them.  However, that doesn't mean that I didn't pick up a couple of things.

This vintage Singer sewing machine sold for $2.  I couldn't believe nobody wanted it.  I only ended up with it due to a mercy bid.  Still, it is worth more than the $2 I gave for it.  A little research tells me that I believe I have a sought after singer 15-91 model.  I'll need to have it serviced and get a pedal for it, then I plan on putting it up for sale.

I also picked up this pair of end tables for $9.  They need to be stripped down and refinished.  Another summer project!  However, I have two round end tables that match these, as well as a square one.  I've collected a nice little set!

Did any of you find anything exciting this weekend?
