Chickens and Plate

Yard sales are starting to slowly pop up in our area.

I couldn't pass up this rooster and hen pair. You can't tell by the picture, but these are old and they have crazing on them, which I think makes them pretty. On the back it has USA 465. I love them, I haven't been able to find any like them on the internet.



And, I found this Fenton Bicentennial Plate, #1 in a series of 4 that they made. It is milk glass, which everyone knows I love. It came in it's original box. I love milk glass and things patriotic, so it was a fit for me.


You all notice that green lamp sitting in back of the plate. I posted about this lamp before, but no one knew much about it. It looks like it was made out of green vintage plastic bowls and candle holders. Do any of you know anything about this type of lamp? Were they  manufactured or did someone hand make it?
You can go here and read my 2009 post about it and see more detailed pictures.

I spent a total of $5 today, which I don't think was too bad.

Any yard sales in your area yet?
