Looking for Vintage Treasures
September 24, 2013
I think I have mentioned a lot on my blog that I visit thrift shops, and consignment/antique shops on my lunch hour every day that I work.
This week I found the following:
This vintage frame was $11.25. I love it as it is.
I love dog collectibles. I started with pugs only, but have branched out to include other breeds. This pitcher is from Holiday House, Manitoc, Wisconsin. $2.
These are bright gold candlestick and candle salt and pepper shakers with cork stoppers. $3, unmarked. Thinking about Christmas vignettes.
These vintage Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty metal thermometers are, I think from the 1960's. I paid a whole dollar for each of them, and I may put them on my desk as decor.
This little white enamelware funnel that I purchased for $7.50 has already appeared on my blog, in a candy corn repurpose with other funnels.
And this square potato masher that has already been repurposed too.
As a wire cloche.
And finally a graniteware colander for $7.50. Colanders and funnels are becoming a new collectible for me!
This week I found the following:

Lots of fun goodies, Carlene...the frame is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteToo fun...great finds :)
ReplyDeleteHand over the frame and the funnel too, I need a tin man hat.
ReplyDeleteI love it when you go shopping! Love, love, love the candy corn funnels!
ReplyDeleteLove the jug. Those funnels though are so darn cute. I pin your stuff all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul, love the picture frame! Love what you did with the funnels!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Beautiful frame...can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage oval frame.That's so great i would hang it empty and maybe put something smaller in it. Or not.
ReplyDeleteSweet finds. I still use a wire potato masher on occasion. Guess that makes me vintage. :)
ReplyDeleteYou always find the greatest things! I love that vintage frame!
ReplyDeleteLove the frame Carlene. You will have a lot of fun decorating with that. That masher is the neatest one I have ever seen. Fun re-purpose.

Carlene, love the frame! What a great find. I know you will create some magic with the gold candles. I love going to thrift shops, but don't get there that often. How fun that you have one so close. I love the candy corn funnels! I picked up a bunch of funnels over the summer. I may need to copy. Hope you don't mind. As always, I will give you credit.

Forgot to mention, I have three pieces of granite ware. One is a colander that I have had for years. I have not gotten it out lately. Need to do that! Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeletehugs, (again, lol)
