Friday Finds

vintage finds, ironstone, Diana china, cabinet
A small load this week because I was searching for quick turn-arounds.

First this cabinet - nice shape and plenty of storage.

Decided on white. 

Sanded it and found parts are mahogany.

If you paint furniture, you know the dead end here.

I shoved it back in the truck for another day.







An old leatherette file box in olive green.

Extra large.
















Teaching materials from Robins Airforce Base In Georgia.

It is empty though.












Loved the shape, color, design and weight of this piece of pottery.

It's a keeper.












Two Brown Bag cookie molds - I have a small collection.

I am thinking of listing several on Etsy.

I used mine for paper instead of cookie dough.










Four Garfield glass mugs - McDonald's premiums.

















Another horse trophy - this one from the Diamond B Ranch.














Large plaid sewing box.
















Filled with various notions.


















A lovely easel and a poster of Miss Muffet.


















This is the table from yesterday.

It must be some kind of jinx for photography.

Not one photo staged on it was decent.





Christmas tins and a brass cricket box.

And the bottom of a brass candle holder.








Like to find advertising tins.

This one a recipe box.












Filled with printed Gold Medal recipes, blank cards, and stuffed in the back - some one's handwritten recipes and paper clippings. 

I will scan the handwritten ones before selling the tin.











Wall art - old telephone and a London bus.















A bag of tiny tart tins or molds. 

The round ones about an inch wide.












A new old stock Wedding Memories album.

What looks to be tear drops on the outside of the box.










The Patisserie table seemed to like this find as much as I did.

The photos turned out great.

A covered soup bowl.

Old ironstone with purplish flowers.






Marked Diana and L & E M. 

Do you know how many china patterns are some form of "Diana"!?!









After the tenth page, I gave up.

I am keeping it for awhile.

If anyone recognizes it, let me know.





See y'all!

  10. OMGoodness! What a great table! Yes, paint it white and it will sell! Yelp. Love it! I don't know when I'll get to Augusta, GA. It's so hard. When I get out of state it has to be home. I love the porcelain dresser box. I'd keep it too.
