Lookee, Lookee!!!

As I've mentioned a few times on here, my mom and I both volunteer our time at a local Methodist rummage house.

Mom volunteers waaaaaaaaay more than I do, but then again, she's retired.

At least once a week, I make a run up there with her to help sort and stack the new stuff that's been donated and to get it ready for pricing and/or storage.

Mostly clothes are donated, but there are lots and lots of other things as well.

I've found all sorts of neat things there and decided that from now on, whenever I find something neat or interesting (at least to me), I'm gonna share it with you guys.

Maybe some of these things will bring back some memories or make you smile.

Last night, we went up there and there were 3 HUGE boxes filled with books and puzzles.

I was going through them to see what they had and look at what I found. I snatched it up right away and bought this bad boy. I couldn't resist.




It's a Disney puzzle from back in the late 50's/early 60's. They're selling for $20 on eBay!

But look at what the previous owner paid!




Yeah, 29 cents from Woolworth!


I love finding stuff like this. It totally makes my night!


I also found this puzzle and remembered that I had an old book that had to have been illustrated by the same person that designed this puzzle.


If anybody has any info on this illustrator or if it the design rings a bell, let me know, will ya?


The puzzle states it's from 1974. Which makes sense. I would have had book and puzzles from that time frame.



Have you ever found anything cool in rummage houses or junk stores?


Later,
