Do you like this green paint on the hanging baskets?
It's growing on me~~
I found this set of three baskets attached to a canvas strap that hangs on the wall~~for $5.00~~I'm starting to like the color~~maybe paint large numbers on each one~~
Porcelain doll heads~~(with hands)~~need some ideas here (a dime each)~~
50c unwrapped candle~~
Pretty black reticulated Tole tray (great filler for the booth)~~
~~and this brand new roll of unused York wallcover~~
whimsey with Monkees and ferns (can you see this for a background on little bookcases, boxes, drawers)~~$1.50 for a double roll~~
~~some 25c baskets~
The ottoman with Queen Anne legs for $6.00~~already a plan for reupholster and paint on her "legs"~~
~wire basket, vintage cake storage tin, and a pretty fruit motiff tablecloth~~
A sweet vintage chair for $5.00~~
and this is my question for you~~I bought 3 fishing baskets; they are collapsable~~just the neatest things and all different sizes.
How would you display these? They would not hold a plant (and, no, I don't want to display a fish--)
I had no idea how I'd use these, but for $3.00 each (and they're vintage) I decided they needed to come home with me~~
Not sure I will use these myself~~but wouldn't these look cool just hangin' around somewhere? Laundry room, sunroom (wish I had one), corner of the porch~~etc.
So really~~tell me~~Would you have bought these??
Love your comments~~have a happy thriftin' week!
Party happening here:
You are amazing with all your thrift finds! I would love to go thrifting with you and I love those green baskets. Adding the large numbers would look awesome!! Not sure how you could use the fishing baskets but I'm sure whatever you come up with will look great! Hope you have a wonderful day, Gail
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous finds...I want to thrift with you! Love the furniture pieces, I never see anything like that and certainly not at those prices.
ReplyDeleteSo many goodies...love that tablecloth (I have it's twin).

Wow! I also want to thrift with you! those prices are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI can see those fishing baskets retrofitted as light fixtures, rustic feel, a single bulb inside each, high ceiling! oh well, great finds.

Great to see all your thrifty finds. I just love thrifty shopping. Peoples post just make me want to go shopping, though. Happy hunting, Judi
ReplyDeleteIf you can't find a use for the fish baskets in your own home, you should sell them in your booth and show them filled so a potential buyer gets an idea of what their potential could be. You could fill one with baseballs (cute hanging in a boy's room), fill another with plastic fruit (someone might want to hang it over their sink), small stuffed animals (kid's room), wash cloths (guest bath), winter gloves (mud room), etc.

What special finds. I love the dolls faces. Bodies made by stuffing nylon stockings and some pretty dresses and you will have some very special dolls.
ReplyDeleteLove all your finds...I would have picked them up to!
ReplyDeleteI also love your spring header!
I love, love thrift shopping as well. You found alot a wonderful items for your home. I really love the green baskets and ottoman. I found a large cabinet while thrift shopping for half price...$12.00 I can't wait to paint it and put new hardware on it. Thanks for visiting Magnolia Cottage. I'm your newest follower. You have a lovely blog. Have a wonderful day!

oh, basket idea, since I make my own nests I would probably put some moss and a nest in them. =)
What a fun day you had thrifting! I need one of those days~thanks for sharing all the great finds!
ReplyDeleteAngie
You found quite a bit. I love that tole tray especially. The fishing baskets are neat and would look cute with balls of yarn maybe displayed in them? Thanks for dropping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteDanielle
Looks like you are an amazing shopper! Love those fishing baskets. Thanks for visiting my Shabby Cottage. Warm hugs, Esther
ReplyDeleteLOVE the green baskets "AND" LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the strip of wall paper...I think I would COMBINE the two! The basket color MUST be in the wallpaper??? Stick some dark green ferns(MAYBE the kind with the unfurled curls that would be brown AND would pick up the colors in the monkeys) in one of the baskets and use the other for letters or mail...LOVE them!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Donna
What great treasures. It looks like you have good luck finding unique items. Love your post! Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteJody
Great finds.....I have a dealer friend that sells doll heads like crazy in her booth.....I have seen her display them with arms and legs in old jars.....I think people like them for their quirkiness!
ReplyDeleteMy store is in a tourist-ie lake community.....those fishing baskets would sell like crazy here! they would make cool planters....line them with moss and plant something with small leaves that can come through the wire...wow my wheels are turning with other ideas! great find!
Great finds and I always enjoy seeing what you do with them. My son recently found me a fishing basket. I filled it with the gloves that were floating around in the mudroom and hung it from a decorative hook. It's a cute solution for gloves that are only used occasionally but still necessary.
ReplyDeleteYou have such wonderful goodies! Love them ALL! Can't wait to see how you will rehab them...now following you.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! I love the green baskets, I agree some numbers stenciled on the front would be cute. And the fishing baskets are lots of fun. I'd put some branches in them, maybe pussy willow for Spring?
ReplyDeleteKaree
Wow, you got some great stuff! I would so have bought those things! I love the baskets and the color, so fresh and springlike! Numbers on them would be very cool! What a great deal on the tablecloth, and on everything! How fun is thrifting and finding cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteRebecca
I want to go thrifting with you! I have a shower curtain that I use in the summer with that same monkey pattern (lime or purple towels go really great with it)...also have one a little different in dark brick that I use in the winter.
ReplyDeleteGreat vintage tablecloth.
I am your newest follower...
You scored some very wonderful things. I would leave your three little baskets green and I like the idea of putting numbers on the front or chalkboard tags.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Great stuff. The green baskets would fit right in my house!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun finds! I'd be using that wallpaper as drawer liners or as a backer for a hutch. And those green baskets? Wowie- yes, paint some numerals on the front. They are fantastic!!
ReplyDelete~ Sue
What awesome treasure finds! I love them all. And yes, I really like the green baskets. I wouldn't have thought I would have liked the green but, looking at it makes me want to go and paint some of my own baskets this green! Thank you for sharing at TTF. Have a wonderful day!
