Adding to the collections

I know I haven't posted lately. I guess I've just been busy. Soccer is wrapping up, only one game left. Been working over some, too. And I know it's been a while since I posted anything vintage. None of these finds were that recent, I havent been to the thrift since before Halloween.

But when I went, I found MORE Taylor, Smith & Taylor Boutonniere!

ALL of it so far has come from the same thrift. I have 3 large plates, 4cups, 2 saucers & 2 small plates so far. I also found this Pyrex mug at the Catholic Thrift.

On the last trip to the Catholic Thrift, I found an addition to the wooden-handled utensil collection. I was told this is a knife sharpener. It's also the first piece I've found with a yellow handle. I think all of my other stuff is red.

I also found another piece of matte white pottery. I don't have nearly as much as some of you bloggers out there, but I'm catching up as I find it! This is such an odd shaped piece to me. But I just love the aqua color inside! It's Haeger.

Things have been going pretty good though. I am about 23 weeks along now. Finally starting to show instead of just looking fat! But I can still wear some of my regular clothes. I'm slowly transitioning into maternity clothes. My house is clean and I am relaxing right now. I have been putting off mixing up dough for some non-edible gingerbread ornaments, and I am running out of time! I made them for the soccer team last year and am planning on doing it for both teams this year. I better get busy!

Anyway, have a great weekend!

Weekend Finds

As I mentioned yesterday, here are some photos of what we found over the weekend. Mike picked this out. It is made into a shelf, but it looks like a real washboard to me. I just googled it, and apparently they still make them. So who knows how old it is, if at all (http://www.columbuswashboard.com/). We have yet to decide where to hang it.

Here is a shot of the inside. Can you imagine packing one of these into your suitcase to do your laundry?

I found these shoe stretchers at the same place. I just loved the color! I just have them sitting on my end table right now. I found the plate at the Catholic Thrift on Saturday. I love the colors and patterns! It's from Canonsburg Pottery and the pattern is called Temporama. I googled it also, and saw several of these plates for $8-$10. I paid a quarter! I would love to find some more of this pattern! I have never seen it before, have you?

Here is a closer shot of the pattern.


Have you found anything good lately?
