My latest junktique journey...

Last week I visited Fairground Antiques in Swanzey, NH (I love that place!). I'll show you what I got in tomorrow's post, but here are some things I didn't buy!


I thought this was the neatest dress... Wouldn't it be perfect as part of a Halloween costume?


This little guy looked like he'd lost his best friend. I would have gladly taken him home, but he was more than I wanted to spend (besides, I was on a mission to find something else)...


This vintage postcard caught my eye... such a peaceful design...


Sweet melodies being played by my daughter...


... on this vintage child's piano.


Well I love the word Enchanted - and I love animals - and you know how I love children's books, but I just couldn't justify the price...


And what a cheerful looking house on the cover of this Little Golden Book....

WARNING... I know some people do not like old dolls or doll 'body parts,' but I couldn't resist photographing them... So if doll parts creep you out, you might want to stop here... (although the next two photos are pretty tame)...

These little ones actually looked very sweet in their basket...


And his little dolly doesn't look too scary....


But - Oh-My-Gosh - look at these!!! Can you say creepy/scary?


I have seen doll's heads displayed, especially at Halloween time, and I think they make the coolest decorations if you're going for a spooky look... (I have to admit I am drawn to them even though I find them a bit scary!)

I'm sure she was very well loved 'once upon a time'...


It's too bad I didn't squeeze these photos into an October post for Halloween!!


Now this little doll has such a sweet face... She doesn't scare me.


But look at that price! That is scary! Or maybe that's a fair price for a doll like this? She does look very old. I guess I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to the value of older dolls/doll parts...
So stop back tomorrow to see what I was searching for - and actually found!!
