Antique Store Finds

 My Mom has been great about making sure that I get to the thrift store or antique shop at least once a week during all this cast business. Yesterday she took me to a really big antique store a few towns over.

 

I found quite a few cute things. Including this vintage Sugar Crisp ad, and the Texaco one above. They're big ads, and they'll be great in frames I think! Here are the other things that came home with me...

Somewhere on Pinterest I saw someone display their Red 401 Pyrex Mixing Bowl full of vintage cookie cutters. It looked so darn cute that I have been on the hunt for ones with red and green handles. These were cheap, but have you seen the prices on EBay for cookie cutters lately? Ridiculous!

A "Wolverine" brand kiddie iron for $2.50! My mom thought I was crazy for buying this. But I have a vintage red child's ironing board that I'm going to pair it with. I think my niece will think it's fun!

I couldn't pass up this Sunny Book for $1.50! But do you see that original price tag peeking out? Yes, I'd like 6/1.00 please! Haaa!

Hmmmm....It's a mystery for sure!

I added 3 cute vintage cards to my collection for only $1 each. I really want to get into fixing vintage images (digitally), and perhaps make things with them to sell. I need to think about it some more, but Meri has given me some good advice! Speaking of, Meri (of ImaginMeri's Creations)  actually sent me the super cute wrapping paper that's in the background, along with lots of other little treasures, when she sent her amazing Friendship Tag! Thank you so much Meri! You are a sweetheart!

Speaking of sweethearts...Debbie (of My Vintage Daydreams) sent me this darling kiddie toaster! She also sent a trio of the cutest little plaques with Dutch decals on them! I'll have to show you those another time as I messed up the picture! Thank you Debbie! You really made my day with that beautiful package!

 OK, back to the things from the antique store. Look at this sweet little thread box!
I wonder who EN was. I need to change it to a E.B though!

 Sweet candy colored Coats Threads!

LOL I shouldn't even show you this because I know I said I was quitting this habit! But the 024 Casserole is my favorite! I still wanted the pink one...and there it was! Actually this one is a "Desert Dawn" Pink, and I don't care that it's missing it's lid. I want to stack all the colors together anyway!

In other Pyrex news...I didn't have any of this pattern and they were only $6 at the thrift. Oops, I didn't wash them before this pic. I think the white one will turn out nice and bright.

Another Rand McNally for my collection, and some vintage x-mas ribbon.

And then these were all at the Goodwill. My favorite is that little Elephant! And the aqua planter is McCoy. It's got a chip, but that's OK!

I hope you're all having a fabulous week! I'm feeling much better and I'm hoping to do lots of crafting and art over the next few days! Talk to you soon!

There were so many red things in this post that I'm going to link up with Sue for REDNESDAY!
