Towel Bounty

Just a small sampling of the vintage towels coming to sosovintage over the next couple of days.  I have *finally* gotten through the tower of towels on the photo couch... now I can replace it with the tower of towels in the laundry room!

Each towel is in excellent condition, $10.  As always, if you see one here that you must have, just let me know and I'll list/reserve it just for you :)

~*~

psst, Mom- since I lost your hair towel, let me know if you see one you'd like to replace it with.  These all have that ultra-absorbent quality that you don't find in "new" towels.

Memorial Day Weekend Colors

In honor of Memorial Day, I've poked around in my "need to list" goodies to find some patriotic~colored prizes for the shop.  Here are some of the things I found:

~*~

 ~*~

Super cool red on blue vintage bath towel.  Maker unknown- I've been calling it "tattoo".

~*~

 ~*~

Mid-century Ward & Ward skinny bowtie still on its card.  Love that swanky diamond pattern!

~*~

 ~*~

Bright, bold standard size pillowcase by Stevens Utica

~*~

 ~*~

Another red and blue vintage bath towel- this one's by the JC Penney line "Fashion Manor".

~*~

~*~

Twin sized Strawberry Shortcake ruffle bottom coverlet from 1980

~*~

Hope this weekend inspires us all to remember our loved ones who fought so hard, and to appreciate the freedoms we often take for granted.

Friday Fun: Price is Right Game 3

Welcome! Come join the fun- the more, the merrier!

The Game: I show you my thrift shop haul from one recent outing. You leave a comment with your best estimate of the total amount that I paid. For you sticklers out there, this does include sales tax. The person who comes closest without going over wins!

~*~
The Rules: One clear and definitive guess per person- no amending your answer. Please do not choose the same answer as a person who came before you- check the comments before leaving your guess. Game goes for 24 hours- I'll post the receipt and winner here. Please be sure I know how to get in touch with you- either through email or Etsy shop name. Play nice and have fun :)

~*~
The Prize: The satisfaction of winning, AND $5 in "soso bucks"- can be applied to any purchase in either of my shops. Can be saved and spent at a later time, up to one year. Can also be combined with future "soso bucks" wins!

~*~
The Stuff: This week the loot is from a hospital charity thrift shop, non-sale day. Prices here are inconsistent, and I promise I'm not just saying that to throw you off. I am always surprised at how high some things are, and how low others are.

~*~

From left to right, top row we have:

1. sweet aqua and orange teacup and saucer

2. antique wood handled (green paint!) kitchen utensils

3. Yellow enamelware plate with floral detail

4. pinwheel Lansing button card

Bottom row, left to right:
