This weekend, Mr. Northstarvintage and I went to what was truly The Ultimate Yard Sale. The yard sale that dreams are made of. The yard sale that Mr. NSV and I will be talking about at the nursing home. It was one of the fabled "old lady who never threw out anything" yard sales. And her nieces, who were holding the sale, just wanted to get rid of it all, so most things were about 25 cents. Plus, we pretty much had the sale to ourselves, and they let us dig through the boxes as they brought them out.
When I die and go to heaven (knock on wood) it will be like this yard sale (or the perfect motorcycle ride).
We filled the car, and could have filled it again, had we not just had a yard sale. I had to leave so much cool stuff behind. But here are a few things
10 place settings of Red Wing pottery in a very cool mid-century modern pattern. And about 30 matching 60's glasses. I've been trying to find the name of the pattern, but no luck. This is our new dinnerware. 
Closeup of the dinnerware.
1950's L'il Abner bank, elf head with removable cap/lid, needlenose pliers, pair of tall ceramic Christmas cats, labeled "Fran" and "Lou" on the back (that made me sad), Don Ho cocktail glass (for our collection), red/white enamel measuring pourer, metal/chrome cannister for straws (?)
This was about half of what we found. It was a very good day
