Our vintage link party is opens Thursday at 8 am–
I’m drawn to the dutch landscape. You run into such good deals. I recently found a thrift store that looks very promising. We’ve been there once, and many things that we wanted were not priced. That concerned me, but when we went to check out, we were very surprised. I will be going back! Best wishes to you in the new year!
That landscape was a nice find, for sure, Fonda. I do feel blessed to find lots of pretty good “junk!” Here’s hoping that thrift store continues to pan out for you–I LOVE places like that!! Happy New Year 🙂
Love all these finds! Especially the rabbits caught my eye & Chevrolet sign, but love all of them. Fun and interesting post! Pinned & G+
Glad you liked them Florence 🙂 Thanks for the Pin and G+!!! Happy New Year–
Wonderful round-up of vintage finds. You had an excellent year.
Thanks, Sharon–yes, it was a pretty good year 🙂
You find such interesting things. Your vintage finds are my favorite posts.
Thanks so much Krista–so sweet of you to say 🙂
A great year of finds, Diana!
It was, Cecilia. You found a number of great treasures this year, too 🙂
OK, you’re almost making me want to sell again…so easy to slide back into what I’m comfortable with! And since I’m way behind you with your technology saavy, what are you using for all your great graphics? You’re my idol and I want to learn…any tips would be much appreciated!
I do enjoy selling, both online and in a shop, but there are certainly seasons for everything, right? Boy, you sure made my day!! tech savvy AND an idol–lol. I edit in Microsoft Photo Gallery and use the free version of PicMonkey to add post titles and create collages. I’d love to help any way I can. Feel free to email me or use my contact form 🙂
I would love to have almost every one of those finds! The rabbits are darling and I especially like those sterling silver bangles. Also the greenhouse. You must have a very practiced and discerning eye for great finds. As one of the other comments said, your Vintage Finds posts are my favorites, too!
Hope you have a wonderful and prosperous New Year with many fun times and happy occasions!
Ooh, you are so sweet Naomi–you made my day! So glad you enjoy these posts 🙂 Wishing you and your family a year filled with joy and peace!
Great finds at even better prices. It’s nice to know they’ll be enjoyed for years to come. Thanks for sharing, Cynthia
Thanks for dropping by Cynthia!!
Oh what treasures, and you’ve done an amazing job of selling them! I have a very similar garden box that I bought at R.C. Willey’s quite a few years ago. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Thanks Jann–I appreciate the encouragement 🙂 I’m not surprised you have a garden box–your house is filled with beautiful treasures!
