Jammin' Weekend, Final Act

Been bad about posting and have to put the curtain down on the estate sale weekend since ANOTHER weekend has come and gone. And whoa doggies, wait til I show y'all what I unearthed at the flea market. Yes Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus and he has a booth at the A-1 Flea Market/RV Park!

Here are the cool hats, the White Grandma Goes to Town hats. I am old enough to have had grandmothers who would not have been caught dead beyond their front lawn without matching dress, bag, shoes & hat. Of course it goes without saying that the hair had a weekly appointment with Mr. Fredrick or Miss Olga at the local hair sa-LON (remember that perm machine?).

Black velvet, includes a matching hatpin

Also black velvet, with a pretty red satin band.

The fur is real and no, I don't wear it. It belonged to my mother and besides, how else could I use that incredibly fabulous Art Deco clip? It's actually a dress clip but let's not quibble. Here's a clip close-up:There is a pin in the Warman's book that, other than having 4 flowers on the top row instead of 2, is exactly like this, other than being a pin. The clip mechanism on the back has some beautiful engraved scrollwork and the metal is very obviously pot metal. The pin in the book: valued at $165.

I saw the pin last weekend but went back and bought it this weekend. Here are a few other estate sale goodies:

Handpainted porcelain lemon dish signed "N. Tolbert"--can't find anything regarding this Tolbert person, think he/she may have been the former resident of the "estate".
Set of four thickly gold-encrusted tumblers with carrier. I think the outer holders are for napkins?Porcelain cake plate marked "Decor Meissner Streublumen". This is a beautiful piece.
