Sometimes you find things at yardsales that seem to be meant for you. I bet a bunch of folks passed these pretties by. I practically dove on them.
My grandma kept these in the pie safe and we drank out of them all the time as kids. These aren't those of course, but I like to think that some other sweet old lady held onto these for years and years. I bet they were stacked in the back of her pantry and never used.These plastic treasures used to come inside of oatmeal. Gosh, why don't they do that sort of thing anymore?

I love treasures that bring me back to my childhood, especially those that invovled my grandparents. Enjoy your cups and the sweet memories of your grandma. :)

I get the same way when I see those old little jelly jars that double as glasses with the cartoons on them.
What a great post!!!
I love them! They are so pretty. Glad you found something to connect a great memory with! Stop over and visit me soon. :)
I remember those, too! My grandparents collected them. Most of ours were yellow. It was exciting to get another color. :)
Thanks for your very sweet words about me and my new blog layout. You are wonderful!
These are wonderful!!! I would have grabbed them, too. They were meant to be yours!

I have so many things that I got because they remind me of my childhood. Great find for a great home.
Isn't it great when such simple items bring back such wonderfull memories. The pictures are so pretty too!
I love finding memories at yard sales! These are cool!
My favs from my grandma were those aluminum tumblers. Mawmaw always let me drink out of the magenta one; today that magenta tumbler sits proudly on my kitchen windowsill so that a part of Mawmaw is there with me!
In these tougher economic times, you'd think they'd bring back some of the nostalgic trends of old. Like adding a treat in bought goods. You're probably too young to remember green stamps. Hell, I'm almost too young to remember green stamps! Love your sweet little glasses!

I love that type of glass. Great find!
I remember seeing those..but I don't remember who in the family saved them. Grandma? Probably my Mom. YOU got LUCKY!
I have also been doing garage sales and have had great luck. We look forward to it each week!
My grandmother made us use those colored tin glasses.. they always made my teeth zing sort of like when you scratch your fingernails on a chalkboard. Oooh I hated that.

Oh my goodness, you are so lucky when it comes to yard sales! Where do you store all the beauties that you find?
I'm looking forward to Saturday, and hit a few myself.
Have a great day.
