Thrifted Vintage Finds

I've had the best time thrift shopping this week. The weather has been dreadful here in Ballarat. I guess most thrift shoppers have been home staying dry.....more goodies for me. Here are a few of my favourite finds....
 A complete 4pc Johnson dinner set 
 Beautiful 'Young Reader' Reader's Digest. Printed in 1967. Each one has a collection of classic children's stories.  I love the different coloured covers. They will look great displayed together on a shelf.
 These amazing 3D children's books. They were published in 1968. I will have to show you some of the illustrations in a future post.....so adorable.
 A turquoise coloured Willow bread bin...love this!!...
...and finally this pretty Willow serving tray.
Can't wait to see what I can find this week :)

Thrifty Vintage Finds

It's been ages since I did a vintage finds post.
I haven't had a chance to do alot of thrift store shopping and finding vintage is getting harder and harder these days...but not impossible.
I managed to find a few lovely treasures ....check them out
*a poodle tin plate, a tiny Johnson plate and the cutest vintage Japanese elephant dish.
*a large Pyrex bowl in my fav green daisy print and a Japanese ceramic bowl
*Brand new/still in pack vintage bed sheets, pretty crochet table cloths ready for some TLC, an olive green chenille blanket,  and a huge vintage clothes rack in a shabby pink colour (this sure came in handy with all the rain we have been having lately)
*LOADS of lovely Johnson plates in lots of pretty designs...this is just a few that I found....yippee :)
