I went out to a thrift store yesterday and had some fun finds! I love this great old scale~ the dial is so graphic...
This Italian Florentine box is a beauty... wouldn't it be lovely with Christmas pretties inside?
I always love finding old books...
especially finding my favorite~ a white book with a beautiful cover...
This aqua covered book was pretty...
but I really wanted it for the beautiful end papers~ it's hard to tell from the photos, but they are a golden metallic print, fun to scan for artwork...
Vintage seam bindings and trims are always fun...
But my find of the day was this beautiful antique Victorian silverplate castor/cruet set for $7.99!
I love the ornate work on the piece...
and the decoratively etched glassware...
You just never know what you'll find! And the same goes for the mail!! I received the sweetest gift from my friend Cindy Adkins , such unexpected fun! She made me this lovely blue crystal bracelet~ the stones sparkle like aurora borealis! If you haven't met Cindy, check out her wonderful blogs and her etsy shop full of goodies, too! You'll be glad you did!

ReplyDeleteWow what wonderful finds, I never find much vintage at the thrifts! Especially old books, I'd love to find more of those! ;-) My cousin got a scale for the shop in October and I wanted it so bad, but just couldn't reason where I'd put it, my kitchen is so tiny!

ReplyDeleteLove all your finds...especially the books...my biggest weakness!
ReplyDeleteThe cruet set was such a find...and what a price, you lucky girl!! I bought a scale yesterday too. Not sure exactly where I'm going to put it but at $2.00 I couldn't pass it up!
