Your three sided white piece is a flower pot holder. The beautiful glassware is by Jeanette and the pattern is Iris and Herringbone. I had quite a bit of it-it came down through the family,so I gave it to my great niece. It is pretty valuable. You hit the jackpot, girl. A lot of those pieces are valuable, but I know you will do the research and go accordingly. You are so lucky and Donna is very generous. Happy for you!

[@tinamcallister3241]

The little glass dishes (the ones she referred to as ice cream dishes) I'm pretty sure are Tiffin Glassware. Probably dates back to around the depression era. All the glassware was a great find.

[@susanhaggart3675]

the clear glass items is called Jeanette Glass Iris and Herringbone from the 1930's

[@brendagaliher5457]

This kind woman must have had a booth or store. What a score!!

[@kathrynshelley3806]

Sonnet! Don’t stack old glassware! It scratches and sticks together!

[@leisapullar3312]

What a lovely person Donna is to give you those treasures for free ❤😊

[@karens3209]

I believe the bag of what you said were eggs, are sock darners. You put a sock over it and makes it easier to sew on while your holding the handle. How generous and great vintage items.

[@jadestone8552]

The transfers are for embroidery. Iron them on a pillow case or cotton towel, scarf then embroider the pattern. Would one of the divided drawers fit in the table?

[@mariecerny1518]

The white painted three sided is the bottom of an small table from India. The top would have been natural wood with some white inlay and had slots that the "legs slid into with brass strips to hold in place. Lucky you, great haul!

[@gingerklees8696]

Sonnet that pie tin with the holes make the very best pies I collect them. The holes are so the bottom of the pie get evenly done and crispy not soggy 😊

[@candacebornstein9421]

That was a very very nice lady to give all these wonderful finds to you! She deserves a big shout out.

[@sherryarnold3629]

The white 3 sided is a base for a small table.

[@susanlandin4485]

What a sweet lady to think of you! The wooden "eggs" are used for darning socks. Beautiful glassware!

[@conniesanders9755]

The 3 sided item is a plant stand. Yep it is. Great haul, such a nice lady. Know everything is going to be beautiful. Looks like she must have had a vintage booth somewhere.

[@cynthiagray4864]

What an absolute Treasure Trove of gorgeousness! I can't believe all those things were free. Super nice lady to do that for you

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

PS. Didn’t mean to come over as a know-it-all, but I am OLD and have loved old things all my life. For instance, I have a 3-legged cast iron pot that I found at a tobacco barn when I was 13-I asked the lady I was helping barn tobacco could I have it, she said yes and it has travelled with me throughout my life and still sits on my fireplace hearth and I still love it!

[@lorriedowns2623]

Wow! I’m impressed not only with the volume of things she gave you, but super amazed at the quality of the items she gave you! She had a very good eye! You’re gonna have to google lens all of that glassware!

[@cLyon-xi9os]

You are gonna have to do an online store or auction, Sonnet! I would love to buy some of that stuff. I bet your other subscribers would, too! Btw, I love the peek of your neighborhood when you do this type of video.💕😁

[@libertygiveme1987]

My VERY FAVORITE item is the Little Upholstered Chair. It is REALLY PRETTY!!!! Don't think it will take long to sell that. The other items have to be those little Conestoga Wagon Coffee Mugs!!!! My Grandsons, ages 3 and 6 would be CRAZY OVER THEM!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@suemccarty316]

The wood drawer dividers are silverware and utensils drawer dividers. The iron on transfers are for embroidery. They are highly sought after if they are vintage. Look on the package for a printing date. The three side cream divided item is the bottom to a plant stand. It can hold a large pot so it is not on the ground.

[@dorismartinez8337]

What a blessing that was bestowed on you! It's also a great way to decluttered when you know the recipient would be so grateful. Looking forward to your DYI on the chair!!

[@crystallbell5545]

Maybe 1 of those wooden trays would fit in that little cabinet for drawer. That wooden fold out thing looks like a butterfly.

[@amandabarnhill6173]

The triple base that’s white would be cute taken apart and used as angles wings for Xmas with some kind of spindle for the angle body 😃

[@zullo3529]

So sweet of this lady to give you all of these things. You must have been running back and forth to your truck like a mad woman. You got so many beautiful things in an hour. Thanks Sonnet

[@yvonneannibale5980]

Wow so many great things! It was like Christmas watching you empty your car. I was so nervous watching you that you were going to drop something or that it was going to start raining.

[@peddlinpatricks]

I LOVE monkey pod wood. Those mushrooms are awesome!

[@lsop8847]

The footed tumbler with the iris was made by the Jeanette Glass Co., in the depression glass pattern Iris Herringbone, as were the stemmed glasses. Lovely!!

[@MAGAcatmom]

Utensil drawer organizers also check your peach colored glass with a black light, looks like uranium glass, it will glow.

[@geraldinerodriguez6290]

Lovely items , so glad you will enjoy them.

[@boomerabilia]

Sonnet, I just love your channel and I've been following you for like 6 months or more. I look forward to all your goodies... You scored that is so cool! Give that lady a great big hug... Maybe remake something for her and give it back...as a gift

[@carmenlheureux5435]

I’m happy for you; you deserve a gift from time to time. You always know how to make me smile.

[@susanhaggart3675]

the round wood handled item is a donut and biscuit maker too for the inside has a smaller round insert the comes out to make the biscuits

[@kittykatty2898]

I love that hoard ! What beautiful old things , I'm so happy they were given to you, you will make the great use of them either for yourself or for the others . They need to be appreciated, loved and cherished , and displayed ! I can't even say what I love the most, there were so many . Greetings xxx

[@charlotted6247]

Well let's all give a giant thank you to the kind lady Donna!!! I. So happy she thought about you. ❤️❤️❤️ The wind is crazy Sonnet!!!! I'm anxious to start making ornaments. Since time is so precious, I have to start early. 💗💗💗💗

It's a base for a table. Pretty. Nice finds.

This is the most amazing free haul I’ve ever seen! You are a lucky girl. Have fun with it all and thanks for sharing. Bless the lady who gave you all this, what a sweet thing to do!

[@gracegrasso9376]

Loved all the red kitchen stuff my mom had a lot of the red.

[@joannpilgrim1425]

Hot iron transfers are to put on cloth and then embroider on. Those are for darning socks, the eggs. Red and blue were popular in that era.

[@mssarahc4085]

Sonnet the glass decanter with green on it ,and wine goblets are from the 80s, I had them I am pretty sure they r from Avon, I love how excited you get over your hauls, It’s cute, I really like you, you are fun lol

[@kazapthegreat5306]

The mystery item is the foldable legs for a wooden Indian folding tea table. It’s missing a round ornate top table.

[@flippintreasureswithcindy]

Omgosh. Did you look up Robert wood artist painting? Girl. 💥 you scored some major treasures. What a sweet lady to gift you such amazing things.

I don't know what the three-sided white pieces, but when I saw it I immediately thought angel wings

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

Wow! You are going to have some fun!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

What a blessing! Such an amazing haul and FREE!?!?! Glad you just cleaned out the garage and were rewarded almost instantly!

[@hwoodred]

Wow! How kind!

[@jackieblodgett2799]

The pitcher and glasses are Hazel Atlas brand

[@annfrechen995]

The tall footed glass may be an ice cream sundae cup, the wooden eggs are darning eggs for darning socks. Nice haul😄

[@nacnud1]

the little white thing with three sides is supposed to have a top. it was used in japan to carry as a little table you could set up anywhere. I used to have one

[@jeaniemarkel360]

It is a base to a plant stand. Usually made of teak wood.

[@janeg5491]

The bag of “eggs” is a bag of darning eggs. They are used to hold the shape of a sock toe or heel while you repair it.

[@crystaldarrow9914]

The 3 sided white thing is a wood pedestal to put a candle or something on. I have a smaller one almost identical. Its missing the top piece. The table top.

[@murpesc43]

Girl, I don’t think you know what a jackpot you hit!!! If I lived closer I would be broke shopping your booth! 👍🥰

[@charlotted6247]

Isn't the butterfly thing a base for a table???

[@debrabell2604]

You should look up the Fenton bottle we sold it in the 80's at a Pharmacy I worked at could be worth $

[@carolyn8033]

What a wonderful gift from a wonderful lady. So generous. She knew you would appreciate it probably as much as she did at one time.

[@starmead283]

Base for a small table probably a brass tray (the three sided wood item).

[@dawnweeber6400]

I have one, it is a base for a round table top normally a side table or plant stand. there was probably a round table top there somewhere.

[@rhondasales5176]

Great free haul. Thanks for sharing.

[@teresaweaver1012]

The Salmon Falls chip/dip was a great score. Their pottery is quite pricey and the older the better. The clear crystal perfume bottle sure looked a lot like a Lalique piece....$150-200 resell value, possibly more depending on rarity. That looked like of the 1980s pieces. It will be signed in a very small "scratchy" signature but clearly marked "Lalique" usually on the bottom.

[@Rebelhomeland]

That was the left overs? WOW! You hit the mother load, gold! The clear decanter with the green stopper & the little green goblet is a Avon set, collectable. There was a green tray it sets in. I have one & broke one. Look on ebay to price it. They are all over the place in price. I love mine so much I broke the first set & bought another. But some if the green is much better than others. Not sure why. Seems like some is flash & some are not. My original set was a much better green not like flash!

[@kathrynshelley3806]

That bag full of egg shapes on handles are sock darning eggs. You slip it in the sock instead of your hand so you don’t jab yourself with the darning needle. People don’t darn socks anymore, which would save you so much money. I do, but I’m old and socks are expensive. The pie pan with the holes, apparently it keeps the pie crust flat while baking. No bubbles.

[@annfrechen995]

Also the three piece scrolled wood pieces I believe are legs for a table.

[@floramcplant129]

Congrats to Donna for the huge load lightening. That's a boss move.

[@gailterkelsen7282]

The eggs were used as farmer forms for farming socks.

[@lindasnyder5048]

Make sure you check out on line what some of the prices are ...some of those things have some pretty good prices on them...like that fenton perfume bottle specially with the top ...most are missing things like that..and some of that glass wear...good idea on that door knobs adding a bottle brush tree to them...
