Recent Thrift Store Finds

This week has been sparse for thrift store finds. I did source some great items in the two previous weeks. Some of them I have already shared how I am using them and styling them, but keep reading for the specifics.

This vintage circus tray was an advertising giveaway piece for a California Credit Union. Why the circus for a bank? I am not sure, but the colors caught my eye. The blue colander makes a great planter and the amateur artwrk is in my entryway. The embroidered tea towl is perfect in a spring vignette.

The brass desk calendar still works. 

An amateur painting pf the local mountains has great colors  A floral plate is for my collection and will eventually be on the wall with others. The watering can may get a paint job to brighten it up.

The art deco, stainless candy and nut dish with a little whale in the middle was a fun find. The green vase sits on my windowsill.

An outdoor, butterfly pillow sits on my green metal chair on my front porch andds a much needed bit of color.

The metal, horsehead bookends would be perfect in any library. I loved the chrome coffee pot with the teak handle. I am not sire what I will do it with it, but I think it will be for sale.

This black forest carved wood bread dish is fairly old and is in great shape, In it sits the two green men that I am using as bud vases.

The vintage apron and rainbow tray are being used in my kitchen. The large tablecloth underneath will most likely be sold. The sectioned, floral tray is plastic, but I think it is vintage. I like it for a dresser for jewelry and coins or for entertaining for nuts and candy.

These fun, colorful finds took work to source. Some days I find plenty and others nothing, but I do love the hunt.
