Thrifting This Week!
June 24, 2012
It's wasn't my best week thrifting but not my worst!
I purchased this wooden ironing board for $2. I think it is homemade. It had this little iron on top of it for 25 cents.
It's a vintage Ohio Art metal toy iron with a plastic handle.
Next I found this!
Yup! It's a scrabble game for $6.50! I thought it might come in handy!
Here is a copper colander that I thought might work for a kitchen vignette. $6, made in Korea, marked solid copper.
For $2, three alluminum vintage Jello ring molds and 8 of the molds on the right!
For $12, seven vintage croquet balls. This wasn't really a set as more were red than any other color. BUT red is my favorite color. I put them in a wire basket!
This vintage metal flower frog and sepia print of a vintage photo were $17. Not a thrifty buy for sure, but how cute is this photo on the week before America's birthday?

I haven't seen the old Jello molds, in a very long time...
ReplyDeleteYour finds are very neat this week....and who wouldn't want a basket of the old
croquet balls in their home...I would love to have those things...
Have a wonderful week.
That photo is absolutely adorable! And I love how you've displayed the croquet balls. It sure looks like a successful thrifting week to me!

ReplyDeleteLooks like you did pretty well. I like the snuff jar and the vintage photo print of the little girl. So sweet. I haven't had much luck thrifting for quite a while..just a piece here and there.

I think you found wonderful thrifty items. Love the look of the croquet balls in the basket. That ironing board is amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat buys...I have a few dozen of the Jello molds that I use to bake mini cakes in...just oil/flour them well.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the photo; it is so adorable! And it looks great displayed in the old flower frog. It is hard to pass up a Scrabble game; they can be so much decorating fun!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun finds. I love the old ironing board! And you are so right, that picture is so perfect for the 4th! Thank you for sharing this with us at TTF. I hope you have a fantastic day!
ReplyDeleteYou find the neatest things and for great prices except for the last one but I'm pretty sure it was your patriotic duty to buy it!
