I've been out lookin' for stuff lately. I always have something in mind when I go thrifting, but I also find other things at a good price that have a certain appeal for me, and you will find a few of them here. I'm also going to list all the prices, which I don't always do, so that you can know what just a few bucks will buy if you look hard enough these days. I tend to go for useful, basic, and simple things. Items I might sell, give as a gift, or keep for myself. And I have BIG enthusiasm for all my little finds!
The lace runners were 2.99 each. Soft, clean, and in perfect shape. But the vintage hangers were a good buy too at 49 cents each. They're perfect for hanging and displaying all kinds of things.
This vintage/antique jug was also 2.99. It's eight inches high, hasn't a chip on it, and is pretty as can be. It's not quite my style so will probably be a gift. The other side is quite different which I will show you further along.
It's full of fantastic details!
In the foreground with fabric roses is a small vintage Shenango ironstone bowl. It has a woman's face for handles which I found profoundly difficult to photograph. Three dollars, and a keeper!
The reverse. And after photographing, I saw that there's a bit of the price label still clinging to the front. OOPS!
Ninety-nine cents for a vintage frosted tumbler that is oh so shabby chic, and with all the gold still intact. (Is it maybe new?)
There's nothing more practical than ironstone! Mug, twenty-nine cents. Curvy bowl, a splurge at 5.00. The small platters, 1.99 each.
The silverplate flatware was an indulgence. I love this vintage Rogers Bros. pattern called Daffodil, but have never found any before. I found several mixed pieces, and will keep looking for more. Ninety-nine cents each piece.
The ironstone platter they are displayed in, 3.99.
I gave them their first going over with the silver polish because I couldn't wait to see them gleam, but I'll need to work on them some more. It makes my hands a mess, so I would never do it before the Cinderella ball! I'm my own servant for my servanted life! ;o)
Perfect vintage cotton handworked pillowcases. Already washed and ironed. Four dollars each.
I have a bunch of these already. I wonder how many I would need in order to stop buying them? But I love their nostalgia, and I keep finding different varieties. See that extra long one? And the ones with the wire band? Seven dollars and ninety-five cents for the bunch. Not a steal.
That's what I've been up to. How about you?
Hope you're having fun somewhere!

The flowered pitcher and lace has my name all over it! I wish I had gotten to the store before you! I would have bought the clothes pins too, sometimes you have to pay it when you won't find it again!
ReplyDeleteCarol

ReplyDeleteNancy

ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jacqueline,I'm going back for another browse,it's all just so lovely. Don't you feel great when you come home with a haul like this. I love that jug,but that's the problem I have,I can't part with all the goodies I find,even though I buy them for sale sometimes. x
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed seeing your treasures and it was fun to know how much you paid for them. I love the silverware, the pillowcases, the ironstone and those lovely old clothespins!

OH you found my Grandmother's silver! I love that pattern and have posted about it several times. Like you, I have never seen any out and about.

Oh Claudia, I just love all your wonderful finds. And the bargains balance out the few that were a bit more dear. I remember making clothespin dollies with pins like that. In fact I still have one that we use as a Chrismas ornament.... it easily grips the tree branches. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite of your posts. Not just because of your beautiful finds but also because you priced them. The little white bowl with the precious face is wonderful and I collect vintage pillowcases and I love those, too.
ReplyDeleteIsn't thrifting the best? Finding a treasure buried in the midst of a pile is my favorite thing to do.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend and greetings from the brocantes of France!
Simone
Jacqueline,

Lanette
Looks like a fabulous haul to me :)
ReplyDeleteYou found so many wonderful treasure. I am definately in love with the silver pattern...georgous!
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for pitchers...of all kinds. They are just glorious I think. You found a good one there.
ReplyDeleteHello Jacqueline
ReplyDeleteAll your acquisitions are beautiful and all co-ordinate so perfectly.
I am in love with the linen and the jug with the flowers, it is so rich.
Have a delightful weekend

Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteyour "thrifty" finds are fabulous! Isn't it the best feeling to find beautiful things for great prices?
Love the silverware, what a lovely pattern, and the ironstone platter wonderful price! You did fantastic!
Rebecca
Great finds, Jacqueline! I always find price information interesting - thanks for taking a moment to share that with us. It certainly reinforces the fact that you got some good deals!
ReplyDeleteLove that pitcher!

Claudia
I thought I was going to be content to sit here today and sip some coffee and blog browse, but you have me itching to get junkin! Fantastic finds, and as always beautifully presented.
ReplyDeleteHi, I am your newest follower. Your finds are all wonderful. I like the pillowcases and lace and that silverware, my grandma had that pattern. Brings back very sweet memories of her. I noticed you had dishes like mine, Stafforshire Bouquet! How neat! I hope you will come visit me on my blog. Have a great weekend! Gina
ReplyDeleteI think you and I like the same things! I love the pillowcases as I don't see them here very often.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend,
Carolyn
Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finds! Love the white porcelain Victorian pitcher with the roses!!! I saw in a Romantic Homes magazine lately where they had wound lace around the vintaage clothespins and placed several in a vintage mason jar...made me think of your photography! Now, I see these vintage clothespins on your post! Clever idea, huh? We're preparing to replace the mums in the front flower bed since ours didn't survive the drought this year! Not real exciting here on the Prairie...but real life! Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend!
Fondly,
Pat
Oh my gosh... those are wonderful finds. Have you bought a new clothespin lately, they're horrible, thin and weak, and break so easily. No wonder you keep buying the real thing. The bowl with the woman's face is just enchanting... wow. And, i guess my favorite of your finds are the silverplate knives, forks and spoons. What a gorgeous pattern, it takes my breath away..
ReplyDeleteCindy
Wow, Jacqueline, great finds! Everything is just beautiful!!! I know why you keep buying those clothespins. They just don't make them like that anymore...
ReplyDeletexoxo laurie
Love it all...thanks for sharing <3
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the beautiful little jug with the ROSES when you turned it around.....WOW and I loved the Daffodil flatware. WOW you found some beautiful treasures!!!!! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour finds are fabulous, Jacqueline, especially at such thrifty prices. The daffodil pattern is so pretty! When I was a little girl (a couple of years ago), my grandmother gave me a "youth" place setting in that pattern. I was fortunate to find several pieces of it recently!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your creativity at Potpourri Friday!
ReplyDeleteOh my word I have to start looking at the silverplate when I thrift! Gorgeous! Thank you for joining Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteSherry
