Next up are some more things I found this weekend. Its interesting I can go months on end without finding a thing, then in one weekend find a plethora of goodies! Without further adieu, here they are!
 |
| Irish wool blanket. The label says its a shawl, but its so big it'll fit a twin size bed easily. |
 |
| Irish wool blanket, found at the church sale on Friday. |
 |
| This 50's chenille coverlet was purchased last spring at a church sale. It was filthy but I was able to get all the stains out, now making it perfect! It makes a nice throw when it gets chilly out on the porch at night. |
 |
| Got this linen towel Sunday at the first estate sale on Sunday, I actually have two others exactly the same purchased unused over 20 years ago! |
 |
| From the first estate sale Sunday. The woman had tons of hand embroidered, crocheted, and knitted pieces that were in beautiful condition. |
 |
| Another Mexican themed embroidered linen towel from the same sale. |
 |
| Look how pretty they look all lined up! |
 |
| I found two of these linen towels. |
 |
| Look at the beautiful embroidery! |
 |
| I know it seems crazy that I have all these linen and tea towels, but I actually use them. I prefer using them over wasting paper towels. Love the pretty birds in the tree on this one! |
 |
| This is one of three kitchen cabinet units we found. This one dates to around the 40's-50's and has a lovely grey formica top typical of the era. |
 |
| Bread box! |
 |
| Here is the second cabinet, same formica patterned top. |
 |
| This one is the last and the oldest, dating to the 30s. It has a cast iron enameled top with great deco details around the bottom. |
 |
| The interior, made by "Artcrest" |
 |
| The top view, its not grey, its white enamel. |
 |
My evening cocktail... I created a new Pimm's Cup with Pellegrino Blood Orange and a dash of Pomegranite juice, yuuuum! (It looks better when the ice hasn't melted!)
I have probably one or two more posts, so more linens (I found a lace tablecloth that is exactly the same as the one my grandmother made!) and some funky clothing I've picked up over the summer. But for now I have a zillion errands to run and need to get hopping!
