How about a little peek at this special issue of Country Living’s Flea Market Finds? This issue is filled with great ideas and amazing pictures. Here are some of my favorite vintage treasures that are always on my radar...
I just love these fun vignettes!
Although it’s tougher to find these days, Jadeite is always on my list when I head to a flea market or yard sale.
I love vintage cookbooks, especially regional ones. The recipes are so different than they are now. I actually have that same Charleston Receipts book. Receipt is just an old-fashioned term for recipe.
Dramatic framed silhouettes are always a yes for me, especially the ones in round or oval frames.
Do you remember that Disneyland had a store on Main Street that was a silhouette studio? Have you ever had one made there?
Ironstone tableware of all shapes and sizes are hard for me to resist. They go with everything, and I love using them to break up busy patterns at a table. Pitchers, tureens and plates are my favorite finds. English made ironstone is the best, and sometimes the hallmarks on the bottom are just beautiful!
I haven't been out treasure shopping as much as I used to, but I have been to a handful of garage sales in the neighborhood and have found some fun things like more bamboo cutlery, some small ironstone creamers and even a blue Fire King cup... it's like turquoise Jadeite, which I kind of prefer!
It's almost the weekend, so happy thrifting!
