Hold on to your seat the best find ever........for me that is!

 I found this German spice chest 
at a yard sale today for $50
I was shaking caring it to the car.
I have wanted one of these forever.
I have seen more elaborate details on them
but I'm so Happy!

I
 each of the drawers are stamped.
 then Mimi and I found a Fisher and Price house
 one like I had as a little girl.
 in great condition for $2
 I had to have this I had one as a little girl and would pack it for all
my sleepovers......50 cents.
 I loved this picture for a $1
and last but not least this old metal stool
which I can't wait to change the top fabric out
for something with a little more color!

Its amazing the exhilaration of a 
Fab Find!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

    Oh Darling,

    the V & B spice holder is super fantastic amazing! I want one too! And the price is absolutely great, it is really a steal. In germany the sellers want 180.- til 280.- Euro for such an item. I´m really enjoyed that you found such a wonderful piece for your home.
    I made a bargain too - some wonderful and really old french spice pots with roses on it. Will show them next week. At the moment I´m very busy and my husband leaves me for one week, he is so far away and I miss him. At the weekend I work again in my two jobs so I leave the house in the very early morning and come home in the night.
    But next week I will make some posts and I have some really beautiful enamelware breadboxes for sale - will show them in my blog.
    I wish you a nice and happy weekend and much joy with your wonderful finds.

    much kisses,
    Tanja

    Woweee! I look up the spice rack on Bing.com and here is the link I foundhttp://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7434446 just thought you'd get a kick out of that.

    My sister had a suitcase just like that when she was little, she was pretty proud of it too. And you can tell that is an old FP with how sturdy it looks, how cool is that for your daughter to have just what you did...Great shopping day for sure!! xo

    Villeroy and Boch??How posh!What an amazing find as are the rest of your treasures. I know a little girl not very far from here who would love a doll`s house like Mimi`s. Must go and see if I can find one. The stool would look great with a colourful crocheted top. Well done Heidi.xx

    Your german spice rack is so nice!! Love the little suitcase you found. I used to have a similar green one when I was a girl, that I used as my carry on case on the airplanes.

    Heidi what amazing finds, you clever girl!!!!
    love the spice chest, wondeful!!!
    And the dolls house and sweet little case, so cute!
    Love the painting too.
    In my minds eye I can see that wonderful stool covered in a whole range of things! A bright stripey crochet top, or simple fabric, or something equally lovely - whatever you do will be perfect!
    No wonder you're excited - great finds!
