This darling bench will get a makeover with some paint and new fabric...
I absolutely loooove this desk!
The lady who sold this chalkboard to me said it's from the 1940's...
I was told that this old table was most likely taken from a library (the little plaque says "Property of Mult. County ~ will someone come to my door to reclaim it? Will I be arrested for buying potentially stolen property? Yikes!!!)
I bought this darling fabric from my friend Cindy, I have great plans for it!
This is a super cute little child's desk, I had to paint the drawer because it had some ugly dark green brush strokes....
This darling sheer table cover, along with some of the items below, came from the twins Diana and Donna, who were having a tag sale this weekend at Cindy's barn!
I found the next items at Monticello on some of my latest visits... I am absolutely in love with this pink birdcage!!!
My youngest daughter is modeling a vintage nightcap layered in lace ruffles...
... And I couldn't resist this old cement religious statue!
The last find I am sharing was found at Expo in the parking lot! An old fabric covered sewing stand that cost me a whopping $5!!! I love the inside, and am really toying with the idea of keeping this one and recovering the outside with a fabric more of my liking!!

You have found some great treasures, as usual, you have a great eye for it. I love all the fabric and the curler bonnet I still have mine. It is really old, I remember wearing it over the curlers on a Saturday morning going to town, because I wanted my hair to be curly for my hot date that night. Yikes. That was in the sixties. People did go to town like that, can you believe that? That was in Hood River, Oregon.
ReplyDeleteEverything is wonderful! Great finds.....

You found some great things! My favorites...the birdcage, the desk, the bench, and the vintage nightcap.

ReplyDeleteLidy
You are the queen of vintage finds!! I love visiting your page to see what things you have found! Have a great one!
ReplyDeleteLove the sewing stand/chest. Never seen anything like it!
ReplyDeleteSo I hear you & I won the contest of getting sunburned at the BH Flea.
I think I passed you up by a little stretch :o))) My nose still looks like "Rudolph"
Keep cool!
That statue is 2die4! I love the red paint on it. Your sewing piece should have your name on it. What a wonderful to store supplies that you could just move from room to room with you or show to show for tags, etc.! Keep it!!!

Such nice treasures... I never find really good vintage stuff anymore at yard/tag sales. Have a great afternoon :)

Lovely finds, all of them, but that sewing stand is a real eye-opener! I was musing today on just what kind of container I would need for my threads to stop them rolling themselves into a nasty knot at the bottom of the basket, and there it is! I had no idea such things existed. I wonder if I could improvise something similar..?
ReplyDeleteWOW...SCORE !!! Your new treasures are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteHugs xOxO, Nerina :)
Very very good! You have a great eye... the sewing stand is cool!
ReplyDeleteOooo...I LOOOOVE that blue desk (my favorite color). You shopping diva!
ReplyDeleteYou SO know how to get my heart rate up! I love the desk, the child's desk, and then, oh, my, goodness....the statue. Oh, my goodness. LOVE the statue! Greatness! ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteWow you really hit the Mother load.... love the sleeping cap.. I am just amazed at all the wonderful things you found have fun with them all...

I am starting a NEW Mr. Linky party. It will begin on Aug 10th so everyone will have a week and a half to think about their first post. I have a poll up for votes on which button should be the new button. The "party" is called The Knock Off Knock Out-where THRIFTY meets creative sensation. Go over and learn more about the new weekly event and I would appreciate if you would cast your vote and HELP pick the new button design and its the last week for the July GIVE-A-Way, if you would like to be a part of that event..
