A Pony For Tony

From the estate sale last weekend.  We wanted to make a special frame for it, but there's not enough time.  We wanted to have it up for the party this weekend.  He LOVED it!

Today's Estate Sale Finds - North Hills

We had not planned on stopping at this sale, but MDH saw the sign while we were out so we decided to stop.  I went this sale yesterday, and left empty handed.   I think I was too focused on getting home to clean up our new lamps:)  He always seems to see things that I don't, plus the sale was about to end, so the prices were super cheap.
I found some bells...


Already hanging in the garden...


A bowling ball...


In the box...


And these tins to store our craft supplies in...


MDH found these patches...


A box of old light bulbs.  One is dated 1958, and they all work...


This little metal guy was in the bottom of the box...


A horn...


And an old projector...


He took it apart to clean it and t works...



Now we need to keep our eyes open for a film...
