It's that time of week again when I get to share my thrift store finds.
I don't know about you but I love these posts. I think it's because I enjoy hunting through thrift stores for deals and steals so much! It gets my blood pumping and my creativity flowing. I just love it.
This past week I found quite a few items to delight me.
Sorry I'm grouping items together for quick photo shoots. The weather is so nice out right now I feel like being outside and in the garden or cycling with the kids. I'm sure you'll see my treasures in future posts soon enough. LOL!
First off I found a floral printed tea towel that I think it will be wonderful remade into a pillow cover, don't you!
This next find brings me back to my collage days.
A 1950's Shorthand Dictionary.
Oh how I could have used this back in the day when I was struggling through shorthand classes! Now it just makes me smile and surprises me that I actually remember most of it.
I also found a large serving platter with a unique shape, three brass candlestick holders that I plan to paint, and a small brown and white ironstone transfer-ware dish.
Finally, I came across this red and brass oil lamp.
I don't think it's in working order anymore but I just loved it's bright red paint. It will be a welcomed addition to my home to add a pop of color.
Hope you all have a lovely day,
Robin
Great finds!! I love the white platter, I collect those, and that book is interesting too. You will put everything to great creative use,,,I just know it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds! I have that same exact ironstone platter in my Etsy! Hard to part with but I don't have any other matching pieces.

Beautiful Finds~
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds. I LOVE that old shorthand book. I had files full of them back when I worked in a business and I was the main steno gal. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThose are all fabulous finds, Robin, I love the red flowered tea-towel and the red lantern, especially!
ReplyDeleteGreat loot. Love that lantern. Are these all from the same store or do you hit a few different shops when you thrift shop??
