Look What I Found

It's been a while since I shared any vintage finds. A number of excellent estate sales over the past few weekends have made shopping interesting. This time of year, though, I usually pull back a little on purchasing treasures. Maybe it's in anticipation of garage sale season. Maybe I just need a breather after the holidays.

A couple of my favorite recent finds are these two metal cabinets. Hubby and I found the taller one at Fred & Ethel's on a recent trip to Rock Island, Ill. When my son purchased one just like this last year, I have to admit I wanted it so bad. Now I have my very own!

The smaller cabinet was an estate sale find. The paint is pretty chipped up and the decals have got to go! Both pieces could benefit from a nice coat of jewel-tone paint.

Other estate sale goodies:

A wonderful lot of 96 tiny tart tins. Can you believe the entire bunch cost $2.00? Whoo-hoo. Many of these will reappear with an entirely different look for the holidays later this year.

A vintage April Showers powder tin is perfect for the rainy weather we've been experiencing the past several days (it's snowing this evening, though). I love the pretty shade of spring green.

I've always had a soft spot for these crocheted bonnet pincushions. Sweet spring colors and each is embellished with small crocheted and straw flowers. A nice addition to my sewing space.

I'll save a few other treasures for another post. What treasures have you found lately?

Make it a great day!
