Latest vintage finds

Kids are back in school from spring break and I finally had the chance to go out and do some thrifting!! I also stopped by our local antique mall, and I am so glad I did because I found this adorable cardboard chest of drawers with vintage wallpaper for a great price!!






























I also found a darling floral hat and a vintage childs book (I just loooove the old illustrations!!).























This great chenille bedspread was a thrifty find, this pattern is always very sought after!!!



















This great coffee table was just waiting for me at the thrift store!! I have to make a confession!! My friend Jeanne and I love to go thrifting together, and combine savings by using her senior discount (sometimes as high as 40%!!). I give her a ride and she shares her discount!







Another great find was this awesome old bed!! I have always loved the curved footboards!! It will get a shabby treatment, maybe even some fabric on the recessed panels...





















I love cherubs, and couldn't resist this massive clock!! It says Newell Studios on the bottom... Never heard of it, have you?















I was thrilled to find this adorable victorian.... Okay, I have to admit I do not know the name of this in English! Help, please!!























And finally, how adorable is this set of vintage kitchen canisters? They are made out of wood and have a Japan sticker on the bottom. I love it!!























Thank you for tagging along with me while I shared my latest finds!! I will be back soon with more vintage goodness!!

  2. Great finds! just love the little chest of drawers, and the bed will look great once you have shabbied it up a bit. Fire Bellows, is what you are looking for, used to get the open fires going in drafty old English houses!

  5. Great finds, Isabel! I used to have the same chenille bed spread in light blue & pink;- was very popular on EBay a few years back (when I was a seller) & I made scores of pillows & throws from it! You did a catch with the wood bed. So adorable!

  6. Isabel,
    You found some great vintage pieces. I have a sofa table that is similar to the white coffee table in your photo, the base is almost identical. I bought mine when I lived in Montana at a garage sale from a very sweet old lady. Take care, Cathy~

  10. Thank you for taking us thrifting with you......I actually found a similar cardboard chest of drawers at my local thrift store this week...but not covered in wallpaper...plan to paint mine white! It does have cool amber bakelite handles though! We certainly are attracted to the same things! Be well. Laura

  19. I have been following your blog for a few months and am enjoying your thrifiting finds and all your great ideas. I have the same pink spread. Got it at a garage sale for $4 about 20 years ago and am now using it on my guest room bed. I just started my own blog. Check it out. Lori
