Crazy Finds - Antique Kimono

An old Kimono from the 1950s popped up in a local thrift store.  They were looking for several hundred and valued the kimono at a couple of thousand in value.  If I had a museum, this would be an awesome display piece.  

Not Your Grandma's Pyrex

Pyrex is in.  The beautiful designs have attracted the attention of people again.  They collect them, use them to bake in still, and display them.

However, there's a new "pyrex" in town at Walmart along with some cute ceramic baking dishes.  They are adorable. I may go back and get some.

Beanie Babies

 

Beanie Babies were created by Ty Warner in the 1990s.  They soared in value/desirability but have lost value since their popularity.  Still, some can catch a good sale on ebay and there still is interest.  They still are very cute.

Liberty Falls Collectibles

 

Liberty Falls, Colorado collectibles were created by Ralph Gadiel for a fictitious 1870s mining town that Ralph created.  Each building had a story attached to it.  His company sold millions when the product was released in 1991.  Ralph Gadiel passed away in 1998.
