Isn't this a great looking crate? It's one of my thrift store finds last week. I love the handles! I'm going to add old casters and it will be headed to Junk Bonanza in September. I think it would make a great magazine storage box...
A dark aqua stoneware bowl and a sweet tea leaf plate will be nice additions to my hutch in the future...
beautiful crazing...
I love vintage dictionaries...this one is only 4" X 6", but has 380 pages...
This little stool was made by Cushman Colonials in Bennington, Vermont~ the peg construction was done in the colonial style...
My favorite find of the day is this handled wire basket! Such a great style with the chippy paint and wear...the handles and interior slats are wood.
After cleaning it, I sealed the piece with polyurethane...and now it holds TP in the bathroom! I love the industrial look of this...
Thanks for all of your comments about the fun old grocery stampers...they sold out quickly!
I am joining the Monday Marketplace party over at Common Ground
and Nifty Thrifty Tuesday at Coastal Charm!
Until next time...
Wow, you found some great stuff. I think my favorite is the wired handled basket.
ReplyDeleteAwesome finds Linda. I'm loving that California crate and the basket holding the TP is such a clever idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I love the crate and the wire basket too.
ReplyDeleteFun idea with the wire basket! Looking forward to JB!!
ReplyDeleteWent to the flea market today and an estate sale, 2nd day.
Keep Cool!

Linda...
ReplyDeleteMy, my, my....you did find some goodies! And your ideas...all the better.
We were recently at an auction with two rings...my Dave mentioned he had won a box of dishes at the ring he was following, but had left behind some of the dishes under a tree for others to take. I zoomed over to find a stack of Tea Leaf plates he assumed I wouldn't want...won't make that mistake again (smile).

Wow- I love that old crate...and all your other finds for that matter. Looks like you did some good hunting- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. Love that basket. Always looking for wire baskets, rarely find them though.

More wonderful finds as always, and I can see why you love that wire basket! How clever you are to use it to hold toilet paper, it's perfect and looks so stylish!
ReplyDeleteKat
Great things, Linda!

You found some wonderful treasures! The aqua bowl is just beautiful and I love the wooden box. It will be perfect for magazines..great idea to add the casters to it!
ReplyDeleteI love every find you brought home! It's amazing how pretty toilet paper can look in an old wire basket!

More great finds Linda and I love them all. The crate is brilliant... I've seen them all stacked together to make display shelves and it looked fantastic. I love the 'industrial' look.... it really appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteThe stool is so simple and beautiful.... so well made.
I do love seeing your treasures :)
Have a great week
Love Karenx
Linda, your wire basket is truly a wonderful find, and also the stool, I love both . Enjoy all your lucky finds ,dear.
ReplyDeleteHugs,Dorthe
great stuff...the plate you found is the tea leaf pattern - it has a slight copper gleam to it...its English - either Wedgewood or Meakin...I'm not a big dish/china collector - but I collect tea leaf china...so of course I envy your plate!
ReplyDeleteYou hit the jackpot this week. The crate is really nice and I love the idea of putting casters on it. Happy hunting.
ReplyDeleteHello! You always find marvelous stuff!! Looove the wire basket! Great idea's! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Linda, Great finds and I especially love your new crate.
ReplyDeleteOk...we have exchanged inspirations....cause I have a wire basket in my garage I just bought, but it doesn't have the old chippy wood in the bottom of it. (but it will now!) :) So glad you liked my button monograms...and double glad they gave you some inspiration! Can't wait to see what you do! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you could come over to the house for about a week, I could use help...I'm rearranging rooms and working on displays, and you're SO good at that! :) We live TOO far apart! :-(
Have a great week girlfriend!
Missy

You got some great things! I love the crate and the basket and the...I just love them all!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the wire basket with the TP in it! Also the crate, on wheels it will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe crate is great....say that fast three times! The wire basket is equally charming Linda. hugs, olive
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love that box , it's so nice and sturdy. I just saw a couple pieces on someons blog that had that tea leaf design and it was the first time I had ever seen it. I like that heavy bowl too. Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteThe wood in the bottom of that basket sold it for me. What a good idea. I bet it looks really great in your bathroom! Such fun stuff. I'm with you about the casters, they always make a hard to resist addition to things! It'll probably sell in no time. I hope so!
ReplyDeleteLiz
That basket looks great holding your TP :) Love that box with the handles too! Chat soon, Laurel
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great find, that crate, and to put casters on it is a great idea...Yep, those great find are what keep us going!
ReplyDeleteCarol
the wood crate and the metal basket are my favorites!

You even make tp look fun! I have a weird thing about dictionaries also. I probably have ten of them in all different sizes and ages. When was the last time someone actually used a dictionary anyhow?
ReplyDeleteLove your finds, Linda...especially the little stool! And I know they went fast because I went to find them! But I did find my fabulous blocks!! Love those little charmers!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week!
Becky
Oh My Linda, what great finds! I love that basket!! Enjoy your day, Gail
ReplyDeleteYum to the basket it is fabulous. Plus that crate with those handles very nice.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by, Linda! Thanks for leaving me a comment about my flower photos. I do appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteLiz
Love the way you used the metal basket! Who knew spare TP rolls could look so good!
ReplyDeleteI never get disappointed with your fun finds Linda. That crate is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. I love the book and the wire basket. Two things you can never have too much of!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great finds! The little stool is adorable!
