I think some of my best pieces were found in box lots at local (not my local! LOL) auctions.

Oh, my!! The goodies I have found in those $1 box lots. Where you get 30 boxes for $1.00! All they want to do is get rid of stuff so they don't have to haul it off! I bought an old Singer treadle sewing machine year ago, I think it was something like $35.00 and it was in pristine condition. When I got it home and opened the drawers (you know how they had little drawers to keep sewing notions) it had sewing notions that were from when the machine was new and still unopened. And little sample lipsticks from the pharmacy and all kinds of cool stuff like that!

I was totally blown away. I still have them, right in those same drawers. I have no idea why I left them there, but, it was like part of its charm.

Now glassware. Oh, I used to love finding a cool piece. Still do, but now I have no extra space to put these things! I must need a bigger house!
