More Finds!

I just liked the old look of these knitting needles!  I hope someone can use them or display them.

I've come across smaller sizes of these but this is the first time I found the larger ones.  I got 5 pairs but 2 pairs were mismatched but my hubby took them to use in his workshop!  He loves these bookends.

Another TV Lamp, bulb not included.  Luckily, the shop had a bulb to put in it and try it out before I bought it!

This next one made me stop and think.  Yes, it's missing pieces, but I've sold the center bowls by themselves before so why not, it was only marked $3.00.  Glad I decided to take it because I got to the register and found out it was on sale for $1.50!

Another rack, these older ones seem to be in demand.  It's a plate rack but again, you can use it for some many things!

A mismatched set of children's dishes and this set has pots to it!  It's just too cute.

Found this cute little sewing caddy!

Wooden toothpick holder:

A plastic flower fashioner in box:

A piece of restaurantware, I have a matching bouillon bowl that will go nicely with this! 

And the best part of it, after the .60 cent price is, it's by Homer Laughlin!

I thought this was different!  A coaster set with a metal holder.

That's it for day two of my finds.  Stay tuned, I have at least two more days worth!

Strange looks

Ever get strange looks while shopping and wonder why? Do I have a bugger hanging from my nose? Do I have a bad case of bed head? There's times I wear my pig shoes and can understand the looks then, but today, I was baffled.

I found this object at the thrift shop. I immediately fell in love with the color of it and thought it must be vintage, don't see this color anymore. It's a rack, what kind of rack, I thought. I was standing there turning it different directions in my hands, not willing to set it down. Ah ha, the light went on, it's a vintage dish drainer! Yep, bet that's what it is, for a double sink and you hang it over the divider in the sink, that's wonderful! It's mine for now!

Okay, so I bring it home, go to take it out of the bag and realize it's NOT a sink drainer, it's a dish rack for inside a cabinet, I had it upside down in the store, hence the weird looks. Well, maybe.

Here is the correct way, isn't it wonderful?

You can hang cups from the hooks on the left, dishes under that part and then stack dishes on the right side! It's nice and heavy, too.
