Goodwill Hunting


Today was not a bad hunting-day for vintage--
A little bonus porcelain bunny to match a few Easter blue-checked linen napkins:



A single pillow case embroidered with blue hearts--


Found a gray wooden file box--and more little metal molds:


Love this wooden box--sweet hardware inside still slides to hold index cards:


Cutest little planter; wash tubs---


See the "plastic" ornate wall pitcher?  I know--it's PLASTIC--
but, something about it--(maybe because it was only a dollar!)---it just has some charm to it.  I'll paint it white----
Then a little vintage book "Bridges of Madison County"--yes--seen the movie 2, 3 or 10 times.  Cost:  25 cents.

Embroidery hoop---the hangers were FREE from a friend!


At C.C.--sweet wall lamp for $3.00; loving the milk glass.


Also from C.C.---three old plates W. S. George---50 cents each---


And then later today at the local resale shop--found this wrought iron plate stand for $5.00:



Perfect for my W. S. George plates!


Talk about awesome happenings---I love to collect vintage religious items:
I purchased the picture on Ebay for $12.00 last month--
and a few days later at a local shop I found this tall plaster figure of Madonna for $2.50:
look at how similar they are!  I love them.


I'm joining these fine ladies:

    You did find some awesome stuff. My fav. is the little file cabinet. You'll have to show us how you use it - or maybe you're planning to sell it. Wooden hangers are great too - and you can't beat 'free'!

    Fabulous finds. I bought one of those plate racks that was only 2 tier at a Willow House Party for a lot more.

    You really did have great thrifting luck this week. All the linens are so pretty and the blue napkins are so fun for Easter. Love the wall lamp (milk glass makes me swoon). Bargain on the plate rack and such pretty plates you found also. Just a good week for you! Thanks for joining JFF. Linda

    Your "picture" madonna and then the statue madonna are, indeed, very similar. Wow! Great finds. Susan

    Patty, thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting! I love all your finds -- and you found ALOT! -- but most especially the wooden card box and that blue planter! I've never seen that one before! I have painted those wall hangings white before and LOVED the results!

    What treasures you found. So many things I love including the little wall lamp with the milk glass shade and the hangers from your friend. The white card box is wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I'm visiting from JFF and I hope you stop by Cottage and Creek and say 'hi'.
