Friday Finds


Thrift shopping, vintage finds
Another group of smalls this week.

Can you tell I am over winter and ready for spring?

Bought a box of painted clay pots.


Ms. Bunny came along for the ride. 

Could not resist her B**ch Bunny expression.





Old enough to remember record stores?

Two posters on poly boards - Goo Goo Dolls and REM.








These four were grouped together on the discount table.

I had to keep them together.

Rebecca is a soft cover French edition.





"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again."

One of THE best opening lines for a novel.

If you have not read it or seen the Hitchcock movie version.

YOU MUST!








I love a whats-it.

However after taking the top off, I knew what it was.

A handmade light box.









The clear glass top has two other panes - one more opaque than the other.












Inside is a low wattage bulb, a high wattage bulb, and a blue bulb.

The wring is positively ancient.

I probably would not plug it in anywhere in my house. 








A wire basket.

A silverplate small tray engraved "J. S. '64".

Three spice shakers.












An old gold frame.

A sign board which will become a sign board.

You probably guessed that.














A stack of old green and brown file folders. 

Blue splatterware crock.

A metal compote.

A cherub's head.








A pair of Redoute' (I probably misspelled the name) floral prints.

The frames are new.

A framed Dear Mother poem.








Sixteen aluminum molds.


















A large bamboo birdcage which will probably be painted in the near future.













There is no "probably" about where I am right now.

Olive from Olive Out (still not blogging, but on Instagram) and Distressed Donna are on the road in search of some major league junk.

Olive even made us a sign for the trip.






If we come home, then I will probably-


See y'all!











My shop is closed for much needed renovations!

  1. Cool stuff. Love the B bunny. Yes, I'm over winter, but apparently winter's not over with us. So, I remain do-less.

  5. Come pick me up. I'll grab my purse.
    (Am I out of the loop, or if there is a shaker marked "Spice" is that just a wildcard? "This needs some spice." "Awesome, I've got that."

  15. Can I come? Swing by Shallotte (nearer the beach). I'll sit on the wall and wait for you!

    I thought of "Beach" bunnie, "birch" bunnie, "bench" bunnie and "bunch" bunnie....but they certainly wouldn't have that "b!*ch bunnie" face!!!

  20. Great stuff Donna. The bunny is adorable but I'm in love with the bird house. My grandmother had those same spice shakers in a cute little rack. I have them now. Thank you for sharing your wonderful vintage finds with us at Vintage Charm. sb
