instagram love

I took pictures of some of my favorite Christmas decoration. We got a white tree this year too. I love instagram for the iphone I highly recommend it....find it here http://instagr.am/

Avocado glass extravaganza

Avocado green glass extravaganza. Each piece is different and I think every piece is Anchor Hocking. My most favorite color is a bluish turquoise called Laser Blue. I have really slowed down thrifting.I'm trying to be more selective.

Fruit bowl

Thought this was cool. I found it recently. It's a keeper:)

Tumbler love

I just love old retro glasses. These are some of my favorite EVER!!!

Gold Vintage Serving Tray

I love this metal tray I found yesterday. I picked some flowers from the backyard this morning and found this cute little pitcher vase. I love them both. I don't decorate for Halloween, I go straight to fall. I definitely took a u turn with these colors. I am trying to hang on to spring!!!!

So Sorry

I simply got out of the groove of blogging. I hope to post pictures of my recent thrifting finds soon.

Happy Fourth!

Ben Seibel for Jenfredware Brass Bookends USA, 1955

I absolutely love design by Ben Seibel.
I did not know they were designed by him. I thought "Wow those are retro !" They are superb to say the least. It's a mod, mod world......

Bunny in the shadow

I only have one really old bunny. I found it at Salvation Army a few years ago. It is musical and was filled with yucky foam. I emptied it washed it and then refilled it. Now it is fresh as a daisy. I found the little wicker basket and added pink velvet on the handle and wooden eggs and bunnies.

Big Bunny, Printed Bunny, Little Bunny!

I am avoiding doing the laundry by having fun with my Easter goodies. I found the awesome gold frame at Goodwill yesterday and have had the other bunnies for awhile.
I printed the rabbit graphic onto a page from a book published in 1887, yep you read that right. I was given an issue of "The Century Magazine" it is falling apart but full of neat illustrations.

The Brave Little Tailor

Such cool illustrations by E. Probst. 1965 The Brave Little Tailor Adapted by Audrey Claus
from the Grimm's Fairy Tales.....

Ben Franklin and Gurley Candles

I bought a rather big book on Ben Franklin by Walter Isaacson. On the next aisle at Good Will I happend on two Gurley candles. I have never seen any in person only on blogs. I got them both for 1.91.


I also found these three green planters. I decided to put a single flower bud in each one. I am bringing Spring indoors with these.

That is what I am looking forward to Lots and Lots of beautiful hydrangeas in my house and yard~~~~

Bobbie Had a Nickel

Cute little book I got for 10 cents. I have never seen or heard of these books. It is so cute. I searched Etsy and found quite a few. I love the pictures.

I just happened on this Milton Bradley Memory game from 1966. I go to Salvation Army twice a week .
I look for books, dishes, vintage lingerie and fabric. We are on a first name basis. I paid a wooping 99 cents and I was so excited because the illustrations are for the most part awesome. Alice and Martin Provensen are one of the illustrators.
I'm either going to frame them or glue tiny clothes pins on the back and display them on wire.

Valentine Conversation Heart Topiary

I love a good Topiary every once in a while. I made this with 3 inch foam ball painted pink, wooden dowel rod, deer moss, and Valentine candy.... Lots of hot glue and luckily no burns. I bought the cute planter for 4 dollars at the Antique and Merchandise Market here in Valdosta. If your local it is 407 N St Augustine Road in the old Valdosta Flea Market Building. I have a booth there stop by sometime.

Be Mine Cutie Pie

Getting ready for Valentine's Day...... I love the "subway art" that people are doing. I think it looks neat in the vintage frame I found.

Happy New Year!

Sadly Very Vintage in Quitman Georgia closed Saturday. I have been busy packing and moving my things to Valdosta. I will post pictures of my new booth in Valdosta.

A gaggle of Santas?????

Santa Baby

These are images I scanned from some thrifted "made in Italy" frames. Thought they were cute.

Just tip me over and pour me out

Found this Santa Pitcher recently. My family has not warmed up to him at all. Our two dogs are not big fans either. I guess he will make a short trip to Very Vintage Antiques Mall and Gifts In Quitman Georgia. I know someone will want to take him home!!!!

White Gloves and Party Manners

TITLE: White Gloves and Party Manners

AUTHOR: Marjabelle Young and Ann Buchwald, Illustrated by Christiane

PUBLISHER: Robert B. Luce, 1965

Treasure I found yesterday. I am trying to slow down on thrifting. My husband is relentless with his "hoarding" comments!!!! Of course we all know we are collecting and not hoarding.......:)!

You Counted Right "17"

I found these last week. They are in great shape. I actually had "Penny Candy" growing up. The original price sticker on it was 20 cents.

I watched H.R. PUFNSTUF, in retrospect I am not sure why. I wonder where Witchiepoo is????
Have a great day!

A Few of My Favorite Things

Thrifting has been rather strange these past few weeks. It is either feast or famine.

Something I have never done is buy an old year book. I got one for 75 cents because the pages were so beautiful they can be framed. The "Virginian" an all girls school for teachers had this first beautiful page.

I happened on these neat juice glasses at the same place but weeks apart.......

Then we travel to Denmark for this cream and sugar combo.... Lundtofte Stainless/Rosewood Sugar Creamer Set!! So easy on the eyes.

Who can resist and Irish Setter PINK apron??????? Not me I'll tell you!!! Not me!


Awesome bookends "Created by Earl Bernard Made in Japan."

Something I really struggle with is being all across the board with my likes!!!! Oh to be just a lover of,,,,, Let's say "Shabby Chic" or ultra modern, or simply Kitsch!!!!!! Guess it is just not gonna happen.

Basket O Berries

Love these Strawberries!

Your such a Dreamy Dish!

I found these two dish patterns that I have seen on blogs, but never have had the opportunity to buy . The modern one is Syracuse Carefree China Jackstraws, and the pine cone design Stetson (1946-1966). This pattern is called “Blue Pine Cone”, but the color is more the very retro color turquoise. If you click on the close up picture you can see all the colors in the pine cone. So well done!

Better Homes Book "How to sew for Children"

Found this cute book. I scanned, and then used photo shop on a few of the illustrations. Fun, fun!
