Friday Finds

Guess what?

I have not been thrift shopping this week.

No, really, I am telling the truth.


Okay, so you regular readers remember I bought so much last week, I could not put it all in one post.

Well, here's the next group.  There's more junk left to unpack - when I find it.

South Boundary is a much-photographed and overly-painted street in our town.  I found the street sign at an antiques store over in Columbia and paid really real money to bring it back home where it belongs.  It is an old one - like sixties.

The two round things are mirrors off vintage cars.  I loved their retro-futuristic shape.



Genuine antique wrought iron supports.

I still cannot believe the people were selling them.

They were updating their house.

WHA-A-A-T!?!



 

Time to put your wig hat on, and here's a round case to carry it in.

For some reason in 1970, every girl had both wigs and falls.

I had a short brown pixie wig and a  streaked blonde bob wig.

I did not need a fall - I had very long hair.

A group portrait of a fraternity in Connecticut - 1962 - Theta Chi.

A cute Christmas vignette (I am not doing fall this year) A red and green small Thermos, a brass pedestal bowl, two small foreign books, and the delightful hopping flocked Santa in great shape.

A pillow cover hooked in colorful wool on linen.

Turn it inside out to see the directions.

I have no idea why every "N" is written backwards.

Some more vintage restaurant ware - a small ironstone pitcher, a small plate, and a salt shaker.

Yes, I think I already have this size pitcher -trying for a graduated set.

I told Chucks an outright lie that I was not sure, but would sell it if I had a duplicate.

He believed it.

Silly, silly Chucks.

Another church collection plate.

This makes the second one.

Slightly different style.

 

Now wish I had three.

I do not like having two's.

Another metal file box - I have much more than two of these.

A cute little black metal cabinet. with a shelf inside.

A heavy-duty metal base for a restaurant table.  

If I manage to find or make a top, maybe I can display my restaurant dishes there.

Which would mean I would have to clear out a space to put the table.

Which would mean I would have to find all my restaurant dishes and pitchers.

Which probably means I will just stick a top on it and sell it.

The things I bought this week were stuff for painting and sanding.

Except for this case of bottle brush trees.

Yes, folks, it is time for the bleaching of the trees.

I have some new ideas up my sleeves for this year.

I hope ten dozen trees are enough.

HMMMM..........


See y'all!
