Fun Finds...


Yesterday my husband and I took a day for some relaxation and stopped in at a thrift store.  Thought I'd share some of the fun finds of the day!  Isn't the sheet music fun?  I found some pretty linens, too...



This homespun looking piece is from Austria~ I've really been attracted to blue lately...


and I love the detail on this lovely piece...


Satin hankie holders are always a fun find...



Paper doilies are great for artwork or in the kitchen...


This great basket purse is from the 60's...love the kitschy shells and golden paint on the sides...



This vintage wool boy's cap is so cute...


as is the sweet name tag inside...


Vintage hangers...


and a lovely pair of Italian brass wall sconces round out the discoveries today!


These were actually tagged, something I've only previously seen on tole pieces.  We had a great day~ you just never know what treasures are waiting out there!
 

If you haven't entered the giveaway I have going on right now, you can click on the button below, or visit my last post!  Its open until January 3rd!


Until next time...wishing you all a...

    Wow those are some really great finds.
    Amazing they came from thrifting.
    I know, something about the color blue right now, I can't get enough.

    What charming finds! I've grounded myself from the Thrift Stores until I get my stuff picked up and organized! In the meantime, I'll enjoy everyone else's new finds :) Have a fun and Happy New Year!

    I love the sheet music, especially today! Great finds from a thrift store. Your thrift stores have a little higher end merchandise than I can find in our small town. But, you never know what might show up, right? Happy New year! vickie

    ( I found a little blog time during somebody's nap. :@ )
