Once again, a local estate sale has resulted in a lovely addition to my small but growing collection of tea trivets. This one came from an estate sale at 92 Greenville St., and today's the last day of the sale for any of you locals who may need a few teawares, linens, old books and records, Victorian furniture, or perhaps the wonderful Victrola I heard streaming music through this great white-columned home as I browsed. I was amused that one of my town's more colorful characters walked up to me as I was carrying my tea trivet, ignored my "Hello" and simply said "How much was that?" "Five dollars." She walked off without another word. Odd!
This cutwork and lace runner was in wonderful condition. Love the design on this piece, and it can be used in lots of places.
I also found a small dish created in honor of Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee. Got to love the Queen!
This vintage pincushion charmed me with its remnant of an old flag. I also think I could copy this simple felt design myself.
This vintage face powder box will join a few other vintage cosmetics in my bathroom.
I've long wanted an old, tattered songbook for crafting purposes, and I plan to have fun with this one. I got tickled at the misspelling of "Autumn Song" which becomes "Autumn Snog" on the opposite page. Sounds like a great Irish beverage, doesn't it? "Just pour me a cup of Autumn Snog, waiter!"
And the salmony pink vintage hatbox will make for pretty storage in the craft room and also gave me a great way to lug all my stuff home!

Wow, another beautiful tea trivet -I don't think I've ever even seen one close up. :-)
ReplyDeleteOnce again, you made some great buys at the estate sale. Can't wait to see your rendering of the pincushion.

Girl, the estate sale/thrift store/yard sale winds blow with you every time!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, Angela! You find so many neat items, love the Queen Elizabeth plate. I remain impressed, you have such a good 'eye' for finds, go Angela! Joanie
ReplyDeleteYou found some great treasures at this estate sale. I saw vintage hat boxes last weekend at the 127 yard sale for $18.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty things!
ReplyDeleteLove your collection. The tea trivet, linens, and hat box are so lovely; but I am intrigued by the pincushion too. Yes, I do think you could copy that and even make it cuter.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my mother's things found a home where they will be appreciated. It was my estate sale where you bought those.

Snog. I'm LOL! That is so great... I shall join you in a glass of Snog at my earliest convenience!
ReplyDeleteI have a vintage songbook that I use in crafting and I copy the pages on regular paper then distress the copies (sometimes crumpled up) with powder inks. It saves the book and keeps the vintage look at the same time. Great for cards and scrapbooking!
