I spent the weekend, once again, buying and selling. Chaos ensued at the bric-a-brac stall at a lovely garden fete, goodness those grannies show no mercy.
I have got to stop buying retro flasks. I am now officially a collector of them. I really need to sell some on. This Thermos one is for soup, complete with cork stopper and soup bowl, and whacky woven print on the tin outer shell.
I grabbed the coffee tin and asked if there was any more to match, the man beside me already had the Tea one in his bag. He very generously handed it to me. The condition is fairly ropey, but i wish he could see how well they match my new paintwork. Tea/Coffee canisters €1.50
Two floral trays.
Another cut glass vase for summer posies, and a silver plated cake server.
Possibly the most appreciated little find was a tripod for my camera for €1, I had been pricing these on line only last week, and although they are not expensive, it was a 'would like' item, rather than 'we need' item so I had to wait for at least a little while to see if I could thrift one from somewhere. I didn't have to wait long!

ReplyDeleteI love the little cut glass dish - summer flowers are going to look so pretty in it....
The cut glass vase will certainly look beautiful fill with flowers. The canisters match your cupboards beautifully. Such wonder thrift finds. Always nice to find an item like your tripod that you want but really don't need at a thrifty price.
