Miniature pressed glass items. I really like the small pitcher and dog figurine (which is an old candy container). I have the exact same dog, so now it has a companion. The other's are salt cellars (one is flouescent) and a set of shakers.
Yes, sometimes things just call to you. I am one of those crazy old gals that frequent garage/estate sales. I love old cookbooks and kitchen items. It is fun, entertaining and much better that going to a store, paying full price!!
I look for items that match things I already have.
One of my best finds was a coffee mug new in a box. It matched a set I have and love. Unfortunately, one of the mug's handles had broke so I was lucky to find the replacement!
