I had some fun finds this week! Garage sales have begun to slow down now, but the thrift stores are always open! I found some nice vintage wood hangers... you can see one of my first posts, where I featured them here . I showed this fun use...
The tablecloth under the hangers is a nice light ecru color with a rustic finish~ it has a few tiny flaws, but lots of fabric for pillows, runners, or chair seat covers! Look at the nice fabric texture...
My favorite find this week is this lovely French glass bowl, in a charming silverplate basket stand. It has a great twisted handle with crosshatching and embossed flowers...
I love the basket decoration and the glass is marked Reims France...
Another fun find this week is a vintage hand mirror and this great chippy tin!
The tin is for Super Extra Marshmallows! I love the crane decoration and even though it is quite chippy, I love the charming look!
Vintage scenic linen postcards are always something I like to find...
and I love these romantic plates... the first is a hand painted Bavarian...
And I'm always looking for a pretty piece of tole... this silent butler has an unusual shape, and lots of pretty hand painted florals!
I'm linking up to My Cottage Charm's Treasures and Trinkets Thursday
and Debbiedoos Garage Salen Party
Watch for my next post~ my blogversary is coming up and a giveaway!!
Until next time...

Linda. you found some very pretty and vintage things. Love the glass bowl with the silver rim and handle. Why would someone get rid of that? I always wonder.
ReplyDeleteHad I been thinking and obviously wasn't I would have taken the tall can of hundreds of old hangers so many with cool advertisements when we were helping a relative move.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your finds but especially the hangers! They're wonderful and what a great idea to hang photos from them! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless,
Kathleen
Great finds Linda! I love how you put the pictures of the dogs with the hangers, and that bowl is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOf course I love the dog hanger idea. Very cute. Who in the world would put that glass bowl thing in the donation pile. I wonder about people some time. Great finds.
ReplyDeleteWow, you really lucked out this week! I am beginning to have withdrawal symptoms as garage sales are winding down for the season! So I will be visiting thrift stores more, too! My favorite finds of yours are those neat wooden hangers! I really love your idea of displaying artwork and photos. And I am in love with the silent butler! That is a gorgeous piece!
ReplyDeleteThese were great finds. Wow, the garage sales here are just starting to pick up. It is too hot in the summer. I love the french glass bowl and the chippy tin. Glad you liked my chicken post! Did you say giveaway! Sounds like a party...can't wait.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. How is your arm?
ReplyDeleteMy dad has lots of those hangers...I have a couple!
ReplyDeleteLove the handle on the glass basket.
What wonderful finds!
What great finds. Love the idea of using the hangers for your photos. You've definitely put me in the mood for thrifting...unfortunately no good places near me!!! Loved all your fall photos too!
ReplyDeleteI've been buying those hangers when I run across them too. I think I noticed them on your blog as well as Nancy's over at EllaElaine. Somewhere I saw the edge decorated with paper or lace also...it was really cute.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to stay out of the thrift stores for awhile! Nice tin and sweet dog photos!
Warmly,
deb :)
Hey Linda....!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for your note Lovey....The best thing with the chairs was that they were FREE....My FAVE four letter word....hahahahaha....!
I LOVE your coat hangers & the way you've used them as hangers for your pooch pics is GORGEOUS....I'd LOVE about four of these with dark text on them....If you find some would you let me know.... :o) !!
I'll be keeping an eye out for your next post to help celebrate your Blogiversary....!!
Cheers form Oz,

I love that basket, and the plates are very cute too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds this week friend! I love those old hangers too, I have several from the shop...you're idea for hanging old photos from them is sooooo cooool...I think I'll do that too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to Disneyland with me & for liking my family portrait in front of the magic castle 100 years ago. I adore that photo, it's priceless to me!
Hugs,
Susie
I love those vintage hangers, and that crystal bowl with the silver is to die for! Great finds :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your fun finds! I have wanted wooden hangers like that for awhile now. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will find some fun finds soon too!
ReplyDeleteWell, look at all the treasures you found! I love that mirror. And those little hangers could be used for so many different things!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Thanks Linda for joining me...have a great weekend. Getting cold here now!!~
ReplyDeletegosh, you just keep finding cool stuff, love the hangers. Lezlee
ReplyDeleteYou found some awesome pieces. I love toil thingy with The roses!
ReplyDeleteYou did very well in the thrift shops. I love the French basket. I agree with cottage charm, our thrift shops are not as good. In Savannah the dealers know when gw and other thrifts restock and they are there at opening.
ReplyDeleteSavannah antique shops are pricy because of the tourists. You got lots of GOOD stuff.
I must have seen that original post with the old wood pants hangers. Cute idea, I've been looking for some hangers like that. I should look at my Mom's house, I know we had some like that when we were kids and she never throws anything away.
ReplyDeleteSusanne.
Love the way you used those hangers!!
