Vintage Finds as of Late

I'll admit it. I'm like most girls, I love shopping. Especially shopping for vintage stuff. I love the hunt for something old that someone's stopped loving, something that has been buried under a pile of junk for years.

I snagged this light-up globe for $10 at an antique store while visiting my hometown,


found these on Etsy to go with my Tupperware picnic basket,


this was a gift from my sweet mom for my birthday this year,


I snagged these hairpin legs at an estate sale for $10, in hopes of making myself a coffee table soon,


found this oddly-shaped bowl at an estate sale for a mere $3.50,


this magazine/knitting basket for $2,


a Mayfield Dairy milk crate for $1,


being the total geographic fiend that he is, Bo found this set of Tennessee Valley Lake maps
for $1,

I just recently found this enclosed metal crate at an antique store for $15 (a splurge, but less than they usually go for), and a seemingly unused vintage gas can for $1.

Last but not least, a 40-ish piece set of patterned melamine Texasware for $17.50.

I guess you could say it's been a good season for finding new homes for old stuff.

Happy Monday.
