Last fall I told you about my Rush of Remembering when I saw this clock. I was so excited when I saw not one, but two Fisher Price Teaching Clocks at a garage sale on Saturday. What to do? Can’t leave either one, so I bought both. The lady said that she bought them for her daughters because she had them when she was young. They could have cared less about them. Oh, the stab of the heart. Doesn’t everyone love what I love?
I also purchased this red wicker basket. I drooled over the red exterior. I already have two picnic baskets on sale; this woven one and this Hawkeye one. I sold one. Have to get this one listed this week.
On a Facebook group for thrifting I heard that old hot rollers sell well. I picked up this old set by Clairol, the Kindness 20 Instant Hairsetter Set that looks like new.
Then I saw this Clairol Lock and Roll set too. I have a few things listed on eBay and since this one isn’t that old, I will list it on My Ebay.
Anything miniature is always cute. This sold oak, folding rocking chair for a child or large doll is so cute.
So it was a good garage sale weekend. What was your favorite find?

The clocks are sweet, I never had one and neither did my kids, I wish someone had!!
I love the Grandfather’s Clock it plays. I bet you had a ton of fun tons. 🙂
OOh, I had that Clairol Lock n’ Roll set when I was younger! In fact, I wonder if I still have it somewhere…. Nice finds! I really like old picnic baskets, too.
Love the clocks! I would give one to my Grandson for sure!! Thanks for joining Diann and I at TTF!

I hope that our young will appreciate some of these vintage toys.
I’m wondering if there was ever a blue version of those clocks? I seem to remember a similar one in the toybox at my grandparents place.
I have not seen the blue version of it. Would love to see it. I am sure if you remember it, there was something like that out there. I would snatch it up instantly if I ever saw a blue one.
GREAT finds–I’ve been meaning to hook up with thrifting with the boys-I am already part of stay at home moms selling on ebay which is a fun good group–
They are a really helpful group. Check them out.
I have that same picnic basket only mine is red, white & blue. They are both perfect for the Summer!
