Hi there! Popping in quickly today to share another round of thrifting adventures before we board a plane for Virginia to see Michael's family! I took most of these photos in antique stores when my Mom was visiting! Oh how I wish I could have brought all these things home with me! Especially this tin above!
The pattern on this file box reminded me of a vintage sheet!
This box was cardboard, I think it may have had Christmas cards in it at some point.
How sweet are these accordion paper ornaments? And still in the box!
I'm kicking myself for leaving these candles behind at the thrift shop, they are cool for their boxes alone.
Pretty blue sewing machine! Spotted quite a few sewing goodies.
Love this vintage zipper display. I've never seen zippers rolled up in little canisters like this before!
I really wanted to bring home this sewing machine needle display. It still had many of the wooden needle canisters in it.
This vintage dresden plate quilt was in great condition, and looks so modern!
Another great vintage quilt. I am always tempted by the quilts!
Happy Thrifting!
I have some of those zippers and that file box hehe!
ReplyDeleteVery cool items! Love old Xmas packaging! Why don't they reproduce that stuff today? And at great risk of self-promotion, I just listed a very similar cocoa tin on Etsy. What a weird coincidence!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I could have left without those folded paper snowmen! What an amazing array of goodies! You have very strong will power!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!! How funny that a Dutch chocolate box turns up there! I have some of them too.

I have to admit that I'm old enough to remember the zippers in the little round containers. I still have a couple that have been storing my Barbie doll jewelry...since 1958! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, Nadine, I am, too. I don't think I have any but my aunt left me a lot of vintage sewing goodies!
ReplyDeleteWe had some of those paper accordion ornaments when I was young!
ReplyDeleteYour photos were like looking in my Grandmas cabinets! She has these sort of sewing things, and the boxes, from the 50s. I scrounged some of them for myself last year when we had to clean out her house for sale!
ReplyDeleteWow, so much awesomeness in that store!
ReplyDeleteI have a Cocoa tin like that, I think mine might be a reproduction though, and not actually vintage. I still love it though <3
Lovely finds! I have a soft spot for old tins as well and the sewing machine looks so fab too. Wish thrift stores over here were equally exciting :)
ReplyDeletedrool!!! I love when you go thrifting. : ))) Your blog is terrific.
ReplyDeleteMonika in Canada
Wondering where you went thrifting in Ohio...I live near Cleveland and frequent an antique mall near Medina and ocassionally make it out near Bowling Green when visiting family :)
ReplyDeleteI would be tempted by the quilts, too! I hope you had a lovely holiday with your family! I look forward to seeing you again soon!
