The tag had $7 on this 'must have' sweater, but I got it down to $5 simply because I showed the lady at the counter a couple of pulled threads. When I got it home, I pulled in the threads with a fine crochet hook - looks as good as new! Remember this tip when you are looking at sweaters. ;)
This is one of those things that left me stumped as to why I bought it. Possibly because it came in it's own cute metal tin? Maybe because the husbeast is into everything that has to do with car racing?? Maybe it was both. I snapped it up for $4. I rarely see metal toy cars at the op shop... they are usually all plastic and almost destroyed by its previous (child) owner.
I did some research on this gold spoon some time ago, and I did find some on eBay going for some astronomical price, and some cheaper. I'm guessing the cheaper ones are/were replicas, but I really don't know what category my falls under. I like to think that I scored one worth a mint. LOL. I paid 50 cents for this elegant spoon.
A vintage Gerber baby silver plated spoon for 50 cents.
Silver can be so difficult to photograph sometimes!
And finally, I just had to have these very sweet marble ducks. At least I think they are marble... and if not, they are polished rock. Found these for $1 each. They measure about 2 inches across. :)
