Thrifty finds

I know I haven’t posted in a while but I really just haven’t have anything new or creative to share.  I have found a few items over the past couple weeks that I thought I’d share with you.

The picnic basket, sconce and coasters are finds from this weekend, the rest have been in hanging out in my car trunk for a few weeks.

I love this little vintage purse that I found.  I knew right away that I had to bring it home.

I love the fun pop of color inside.

I loved these little cases for only a few dollars each.

I thought this was a hat box and hoped to find a great hat in it but I didn’t expect this….

A wig!  It’s a wig box I guess although there is lots of room for a hat in there too!

It was sort of creepy to open it to find a wig inside.

In fact, I didn’t even open it all the way at the sale to see this lovely patterned inside.

I couldn’t find out too much about this case.

I think it was some sort of travel case, maybe for a shaving kit or cosmetic case.

It was made my Congress Luggage Corp from Roselle, New Jersey and is very heavy for it’s size.  I’m think it is a mid century piece.

 

There is only one small tear in the back of the case.

For some reason I’m drawn to vintage picnic baskets.  I loved the uniqueness of this one.

It had a few bumps and bruises.

But considering it’s age I think it looks great.

I even bought a few pieces of enamelware that might have once been used in a picnic basket.

The coasters were new from Goodwill and will be taken apart and covered with leather and suede from my stash.  I haven’t tried coasters from suede yet but know I want to try them soon since I have  some great colors of suede to pick from.
