Vintage Thrift Shopping - Looking for Vintage-Inspired Treasures for My Cottage Home June 1, 2024


Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a new purchase this week!


I've been watching this 4 pieces set of 'Currier & Ives' dishes for more than two months. They were priced at $3.00 to $5.00 a piece depending on the size.
***
Today I got the small set of 12 pieces for $4.00! 

4 - Dinner Plates



4- Bread and Butter Plates

4 - Soup Bowls











4 - Cup Saucers


Unfortunately there were no coffee cups


 



However, I had picked up a coffee cup a couple of months ago from my local thrift on half-price day.

So now I'm on the hunt for 3 more coffee cups!
I hope I have given you some ideas of treasures you can keep your eye out when thrifting.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found out thrifting this week. 

 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post...... 
May God Bless You and Your Family.

Vintage Scotch Tins PLUS a Couple Other Interesting Treasures



Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a few more treasures that I won at the on-line auction.

Check out these wonderful 'Scotch Tape' tins, that I paid $8.03 each.


 I can not wait to use these awesome 'Scotch Tape', tins in my Christmas vignettes along with these wonderful thermoses and the picnic bag I thrifted last month.

I placed the 'Cloverine' salve' tin on a bathroom-shelf, that I paid $6.03 (shipping included in price)

***
The next couple of treasures I just couldn't refuse to bid on! I just don't see treasures like this in my neighborhood.


Look at this wonderful 'Hostess Fruit Cake' tin box.
I did a little research is was possibly from the 1940 - 1950's I won the bid of $16.03. 

The tin is quite rusty, I just use a Clorox wipe to wipe off the rust, but I was worried I'd rub off the graphic. Still a very cool tin. 



I placed the Hostess tin above the kitchen cupboards
stacked on another vintage tin.
***
Check out the graphics on the straw box, I won the bid on for $7.03, I love the smiley clown, so wonderful. 

I squeezed the straw box closed to my cookie-cutter jar on the shelf above my kitchen cupboards.

***
This super great box of 'Collins on the Rocks Cocktail Pics'.

I have place the picks with my pair of  Old Fashion Cocktail Lowball glasses in the China Hutch.
