Vintage Thursday: This Week's Finds

Some of you have said you like seeing photos of the things I find when I go out exploring, so here's a few from my recent forays. Some might show up in the next giveaways, some will be for sale on eBay and some will stay right here in my house :)

These are Tuesday's finds. Tuesdays are a good day to go looking in this area because seniors get 10% off at the grocery store and at Goodwill! There are a couple of thrift stores in the area that open on Tuesdays too. And since our writers group meets on Tuesday mornings now, I know I'll be in town, for all sorts of good reasons. (I still laugh when I think that I qualify for a senior's discount because I don't think of myself that way, but the calendar says otherwise.)


Here's a closer look:

Tiny pewter frames, a tole-painted and signed napkin holder, hand-stitched quilted wall hanging, an iridized glass brandy snifter, set of stainless steel mixing bowls, and you can just see the edge of a pack of small Christmas ornaments, and the handle of a Fire-King casserole stand (found for 25 cents--someone had been using it as a candle stand so I had some wax to clean off); and

A crewel-work picture, small white platter, hand-braided small rug, a handmade cup, saucer and plate that have the name "Suzanne" on them (anyone know a Suzanne?), a glass mug with white trees frosted on it,

cute wooden cabinet (needs to be repainted, but still, a wood shelf with wood drawers for a quarter?!), green glass tree jar, frosted deer candle holder, tiny glass ornaments, red and green votives  a pretty pink tea cup and white china teacup (I have a saucer for it), a stained glass garden spike,

a gold wedding jar candy dish, two brass framed pictures, tiny made-in Japan salt and peppers in a basket, 2 pairs of lovely floral curtains (handmade and like new), a soft pastel-flowered dresser scarf, and a silk, signed scarf. A few other things didn't make it to the photo.

Last Tuesday I went to Wheeling, WV and came back with a carload. Here's a little of what I found on that trip:

Wexford juice goblets, made by Anchor Hocking in the 60's. There is still a lot of this around for a reasonable price, and it's certainly a nice addition to a table.

Large pink Depression glass fruit or salad bowl with cute ball base--I haven't been able to identify the maker of this bowl, or the patter although it looks very like the Queen Mary pattern by Anchor Hocking.

Beautifully aged yellow and green plates. I have been unable to find out anything about them but I really like them, even with all the crazing and staining.

This beautiful jam jar is just stunning. It has a little crack near where the slot for the spoon is but even with that, it's a beauty.

So that's some of my recent finds. Have you been out junking this week? What did you find?
