Weekend Fun

It has been so easy to get a junk fix at The Bins that I hadn't been to the VOA or Nina and Joe's for a couple of weeks.  Well I couldn't have them worrying about me now could I! I made the rounds to both on Saturday and had a fun catch up.

I added this sweet vintage postcard to my collection for a "girls of Summer" display I plan to do on my kitchen hutch this Summer.  I have had little success finding any to do with Fourth of July but I think the girls will fit the season just fine.

This interesting little dish is destined for Etsy, as is most of this loot.  The back is marked Puritan China Melody Japan.  I love the unusual metal rim.  It is permanently attached to the dish.

I picked up these two cobalt blue bottles to add to my windowsill collection in my bedroom.  I'm sure you recognize the one in the front as Evening in Paris.  I remember my mother having a bottle.  That perfume was so popular, I wonder what ever became of it.  I'll have to look that up sometime.

My little collection defies being photographed with the back-light but I tried.  NO, my window is not dirty, that is just the screen and the reflection.  I think I just showed you an intentional collection!

Another Week, Another Pile of Loot

That wolf picture is exactly like one my Grandmother had hanging on her wall when I was a little girl.  It is dated 1925.  No, I was not a little girl in 1925.  It is just a print and in pretty rough condition but a sweet memory for me to find! The pretty lady next to it is also a vintage print but she called out to me to rescue her.

This pretty little Putz church is marked Japan but I'm not so sure how vintage it is because there is a compartment to put in a battery for light.  Old or new, still fun Christmas decor.

Flocked Shiny Brites and red and white porcelain enamel pans.  I don't know what draws me to those pans but I can't resist them.

I did a poor job taking a picture of this vintage chest.  It has four drawers but I covered one up with that pattern.  When found it was standing up the tall way.  The drawers are square so they fit either horizontally or vertically.  The quilted vinyl and handles are a slightly different design but a very close match to this Dream House sewing box I found here.  The box in front of it holds and old piano roll.

A few trinkets and a vintage sachet pattern.  I think the little heart is likely a pincushion.  I wonder where baby's other shoe is?

So fun to find things with the original price tag!
I discovered recently that Blogger has gone flaky again on delivering comments to my email.  My apologies if anyone has commented and I have not responded!!
