Thrift Haul - Rubber Baby and Groovy Beaded Curtains

This weeks haul isn't particularly exciting.  The thrifts were bare AGAIN and it was The Husband and I's 5 year anniversary so we spent a few days out of town in Glenwood Springs Colorado.  We relaxed in the world famous giant hot springs pool while The Mom (thanks Mom) stayed with The Little Dude.  It was a short trip, but it was just what we needed!
I did find a few cool things though.  These are already in the booth, but it killed me to put them there.  I've never found any aluminum cups before, and these were so cute and little, but I just don't need them.  
I was just whining to Heidi at Vacuuming in High Heels & Pearls because I've never found a vintage scrabble game and some people find them all the time.  Well now I can quit my belly aching!  
Check out this creepy rubber baby!  It has "Uneeda Doll Co. Inc. 1967 "Plum Pees T.M" stamped on the back of it.  Did any of you ever have one of these?  It will be listed in the Etsy shop here pretty soon, along with the metal ice tray.  The recipe box and Spring Blossom Dish are already int the booth.  
These curtains are one of my favorite finds from a few weeks ago, I just didn't have time to untangle them (which was a serious job) until today.  I have two sets of these that will be listed on Etsy very soon.  I wish shipping wasn't so insanely expensive because these suckers are heavy!  
That's it for last week except for a few Early American and Woodland bowls.  This week will hopefully be full of fabulous finds and great sales.  I'm trying to be optimistic, but we'll see...
I'm joining the parties at Apron Thrift GirlSir Thrift A LotSumo's Sweet StuffRemnant, Mod Vintage LifeThe Thrifty Groove and A Living Space. Have a great week everyone!

  1. I love those aluminum cups! I have a red pitcher to match in the booth! It's so hard deciding what to keep/part with!

  3. At least you found some goodies. So funny on finally finding a vintage scrabble game as I bet I see one every single weekend when I am out (most of the time pass them by)

  4. Maddie picked up 4 vintage Scrabble games a few weeks ago during one of our sale days. She hasn't decided exactly what she plans on doing with the tiles yet but she wants them "just in case". What a little hoarder:-)

  6. Just love those aluminum cups, I think they are hard to find! Well, I never find them, LOL! I've found exactly 1 Scrabble game in all my treasure hunts, wonder where everyone finds them, yard sales? Don't remember that creepy eyed doll, but good find for you!

  10. Great finds! I love those aluminum cups, too. I have a set (along with a matching tray and pitcher) that my mom gave me a few years ago. It breaks my heart, but I think I'm going to sell it because I just don't use them.

  11. I know this is an old post...but my brother has that doll. He was born in 67. It was given to my mom when she was in hospital when he was born. One of my best friends in high school who was born the month after him had the girl. We would laugh about that all the time because they both had it displayed in their rooms. They both still have them to this day
