Yardsale Haul- Trefoil door knocker

This is probably the most unique Girl Guide item found at a yardsale...so far.  I did not even know that such a thing existed.  I have no idea where it was made nor how old it is.  There are no markings on it.  The funny thing is that I was on my way to the Year End Guider Banquet {June 2011} in Sydney and decided to stop along the way at a couple of yardsales in St. Peter's.  I could not believe my eyes when I spotted this little item.  I asked "how much for this?" ...she said $1...I said SOLD! So glad I stopped along the way.

Yardsale Haul- Brownie Books + Guide scarf


This book was found at Mayfest fleamarket last May.  It is full of activities and ideas!



This older style Guide scarf was found at a church fleamarket last May.  The colours are so vibrant and of nice quality designed by Jean Miller for 
"The Girl Guides of Canada".


This 1977 Brownie Handbook was found at Value Village thrift store last spring.  I adore the artwork and colours!
You never know when or where old Girl Guide Stuff will pop up! This is why I love going to Yardsales, Garage Sales, Fleamarkets, and Thrift stores. I have more Yardsale Haul photos from last year to be posted soon!

Yardsale Haul- Brownie Uniform

For those of you who know me , know that I LOVE yardsales and thrifty finds.  I started taking photos of my Yardsale Hauls last year and so I thought I would share with you some of my Girl Guide finds.  I found this 1990's Brownie Uniform at a community fleamarket in the country.  Our current uniform is an orange T-shirt with navy blue sleeves.  Our tie has changed and the badge sash is now navy blue.  We no longer use the belt and pouch which is a shame because they were so cute!  This ensemble was $2.00...  What a bargain!

Once I go through all the pics on my computer then I can post more Yardsale Finds!  Yardsale season will be starting in a few weeks in this town and I just can't wait!  Leave a Comment if you too have found any Girl Guide stuff at Yardsales/fleamarkets/thrift stores.
