MORE GROUP PHOTOS!

Check out my older posts to see the rest of my group photo collection. The 2 largest ones shown here were purchased at a Bloomingdale's/Ralph Lauren prop sale for $3.00 each! I carried them home on the subway in the pouring rain. They were the first 2 I bought... the beginning of the collection!

OLD MIRRORS

A few of my old mirrors...

GUEST COLLECTORS!!

Another cool collection from the home of Tom & Alan is this series of British boys books by G.A. Henty which are about adventures all over the world from the turn of the century. They were published worldwide but the original publisher Blackie & Sons, London, had these distinctive figures on the spine. Tom displays these on a high, wall to wall shelf in his studio and I just love the way they look! Shown here just an example.

GUEST COLLECTORS!!

I love to visit the home of my good friends Tom and Alan. They have a very beautiful and unique house filled with all sorts of cool stuff! Shown here: Alan's vintage typewriter ribbon tin collection and 2 vintage typewriters! Very cool! Check back to see more cool collections from T & A! Thanks for being my first GUEST COLLECTORS!

McCOY FLOWER POTS

More favorites!

CERAMIC ROOSTERS

More fun! These colorful, vintage, ceramic roosters are also part of my kitchen collectibles. It was not my intention to start a collection of these! I picked up a cute one for 10 cents at a weekend flea market on 9th avenue when I was still living in NYC... need I say more! Shown here just a few highlights!

RECENT FINDS!

It's rummage sale season! Yay! I found the cocktail shaker in the middle with the Wedgewood pattern for 25 cents, the one to the right which has an etched pattern was 50 cents and I went a bit higher for the one on the left... black and gold stripes... $8.00. Nice additions to my collection! (See older posts.)

PIE BIRDS

More kitchen collectibles. I have sold off most of this collection but saved these favorites.

SUNDAY ANTIQUING

Stopped in at The Old Lumberyard Antique Shops in Milford, PA this past Sunday. It's one of my favorite places! 2 huge buildings FILLED with great stuff! Something for everyone... vintage radios, primitive antiques, furniture, mid-century items, glass, dishes, pottery, artwork, 50s lamps, which BTW they had tons of... great ones... and I was very tempted, books, old garden stuff, and more! The "season" has begun! YAY!

EGG CUPS

Some more of my kitchen collectibles. Egg cups! Small enough to be displayed along ledges, moulding and little shelves! Shown here just a few favorites!

DISPLAY IDEA

This wooden rack comes from an old church pew. It was used to hold the bibles and hymn books. Now it's used to display some of my vintage restaurant china!

A FAVORITE...

I haven't posted my flamingo collection yet. Yep, that's right! Flamingos! Vintage, ceramic flamingos and other stuff like vintage souvenirs from Florida that have flamingos on them, etc... Anyway, this is a favorite piece. A wooden, painted tray that I found on a table of JUNK at an estate sale. 25 cents!

VINTAGE LAUNDRY BAGS

I even have collections in my laundry room! Here are some vintage, embroidered laundry bags and a CAT that had to get in the picture!

LADY HEAD VASES

A few favorites from my collection. These lady head vases were used for flower arrangements in the 50s and 60s. Most are dated on the bottom and made by companies like INARCO and NAPCO. Some had dangling pearl earrings and pearl necklaces. They come in all sizes and have become very expensive. I don't really buy many of these anymore unless I see them at a yard sale or thrift store for little money. At antique shops they can go for $75 or more.

VINTAGE METAL TRAYS

More yard sale finds from my vintage kitchen.
