I have tons of photos from my trip, but I wanted to show you some of the other items I was lucky to find, most right in Eau Claire….
Remember these?????
Yup, plastic puzzle key chains…I think 1960’s maybe????
I saw this one and had to have the bag…..
All in really good shape….I think I will be selling most of them on Etsy….
A bag full of bubblegum machine trinkets….for $1.95
And look what else was in there……
Yes, you are seeing two tiny pocket knives! Imagine these in a bubblegum machine today???
And this sweet piece is one of my favorites because I can use it!
The fun towel underneath came from Deb….I just love it!!!!!!
Washi tape!!!!! Perfect storage…:)
Here is that wonderful towel in all of it’s gory….it is going to be on my yellow metal kitchen table/island.
And here are just a few of the fun things Tammy gave me…..I so love Mary E !!!!!
Of course, blow molds……:)
This was also in with the gum trinkets…it is really tiny, I think it is a vintage game piece….maybe Monopoly? I don’t know but it is old…..:)
Oh, and one more item we got on our trip to Minnesota…..Deb found it in the clearance area of Touch of Home…..I am not a pink girl, but this lovely tablecloth just had to come with me….it will be pretty with my red Fiesta ware on Valentines Day….
And….drumroll please……
This is what it cost!!!!!!
I am still putting items away, as I have to get ready to decorate for Autumn, but I wanted to show you that there is DEFINITELY more out in the Midwest for us vintage loving folks that here in the desert!
Have a great weekend!

I love the key chain puzzles! I remember them when I was a kid, I think they may be 1950's. Love the colors. Great finds.
Wow you really found some cute things here. I love that baby shoe and have seen that before I just don't know where, maybe like you said a game piece.
Yes, the shoe is a monopoly piece...:)

The bowl...the bowl...the bowl. I have never seen anything quite like it. I remember those plastic toys and loved every memory you brought back...smiles..Renee
My Little Grama worked as a cake decorator at a bakery. Once someone knocked the gumball machine over and she saved every one of the charms out of the crashed machine! We played with them for hours...happy memories!
Hi Sandy! What fun to see the puzzle key chains. I had an elephant one that I just loved in the 60's. All the bubble gum pieces are wonderful. I used them on my Rolodex. Too cute. It sounds like your trip was well "worth" the visit. Love the rose table piece! E
