This Week’s Vintage Finds #119

Hi everyone! Even though this past week-end was filled with Easter preparation and celebration, I squeezed in a quick trip to Goodwill and the Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Friday afternoon. Lucky for me, they are right across the street from each other. Still no garage sales in my neck of the woods (and won’t be until late April, at the earliest), so I have to rely on thrift stores and the occasional estate sale to score any vintage finds. Let’s take a look at what I brought home with me, shall we?

vintage china creamer with bird and flowers I viewed this flower and blue bird-decorated creamer asย my personal harbinger of spring–yes, spring it here! (cost: $2.99, value: $12.00). FLASH SALE PRICE: $10.00 + SH

vintage finds--painting, tray, and timerMore reminders of spring–loving all this green. My sweet daughter collectsย “hour” glasses, so I picked the little timer up for her (cost: 39ยข).

Vintage utensil trayI sell these vintage utensil trays quite quickly at my shop (cost: $1.00, value: $12.00). FLASH SALE: $9.00+SH.

vintage impressionistic landscape paintingI’m betting this impressionistic landscape will look terrific framed (see below for truer colors); however, it’s an odd size–8″ x 11″ (cost: $1.99, value: $20-25.00 w/o frame). FLASH SALE: $16.00.

vintage oak splint pie carrier (2)I’ve never seen a vintage oak splint basket this size or shape before. It holds a 9″ pie plate perfectly, and for that reason, I’ll be hanging onto it for a while (cost: $1.00, value: $12-15.00).

For help determining the value of your baskets,

Vintage silverware case
Did you see the silverware box Marie at Interior Frugalista made-over into a catch-allย box? I loved the idea!

She painted the exterior and ripped out the interior. I can’t wait to get started on mine (cost: $2.99).

Vintage wooden desk
The ReStore was holdingย a $10.00 sale on all desks when I was in on Friday, including thisย charming keyhole desk. She’s really in pretty good shape (cost: $10.00, value: $65-85.00).

Top surface of vintage wooden deskThe top is only lightly scratched. I had thought I might want to leave the top and the drawer fronts unpainted, and then paint the rest–I’ve seen that done a lot lately, but I’m going to have to have a think about that. I’ll be sure to let you know what I decide–

  1. Great finds! I especially like the vintage utensil tray – too pretty to keep in a drawer.

  2. I love the desk, is it because the one I am working on is a total mess and I paid more than you did and yours is in good shape. Yes. It will look beautiful once you decide what to do. I also love the painting. Even if you have to pay for a custom frame it will be worth it.

  3. Wow, I wish I could find treasures like yours at our GW. That desk is amazing and I love the sweet painting. Thanks for sharing your goodies at Talk of the Town.

  4. What great finds! The creamer is beautiful and how great to find a basket to carry a pie. I had to call David over to our computer to show him your $10 ReStore desk. We’re floored. Our ReStore prices all furniture quite high. I don’t think we’ve ever bought furniture from there. Our son, Michael, went to college in NC and claims he shopped there and bought good stuff at reasonable prices. I can’t imagine . . .
