MY WEEKEND FINDS

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of My Weekend Finds, the continuing saga of one girl's quest for more junk!

The weather was fine, and my painful foot wasn't bothering me too much, so I headed to the flea market on Sunday, where I found this cute yet very rusty watering can.

I put it on the green cabinet, to keep the other children's watering can that I have company.


I had to have this vintage oven mitt, because I've never seen a pink one before.

I also found another Ohio Art world globe bank. It's official: I have three, no now it's a collection!

That big bluish-green USA pot came from a garage sale. I don't know if you remember this, but I said before that I don't have much more room for vintage pottery in the house, so now I'm decorating the porches with them.

This pink McCoy pot came from the same sale. I'm afraid I'm going to have to find some room inside for this one!

Last but not least, a cement cat to guard over all of the stuff that still needs to be planted.
I didn't get alot this week, but what I did get, I like alot! Did you find any goodies over the weekend that you like alot?

Little Toy Stove - Vintage Thingies Thursday!

It's time for Vintage Thingies Thursday over at Coloradolady, where Suzanne is our hostess, and we share our vintage things!

Today I am sharing an old toy stove. I guess this was before the Easy Bake oven! I think I remember burning many things in there, including myself! It was originally my sister's, then mine, and since then many little kids have played with it. I gave it a fresh coat of paint back in the early 90s, for my daughter to play with. It hasn't been plugged in for a very long time, so I'm not sure if it still works, and frankly I'm too scared to try it!

I saw recently on The Farm Chicks blog, that it can be used to hold dish towels. I liked the idea so much that I copied it!

But when little ones come over, this is what it looks like. Little pots and pans, and a teapot, all ready for playing house!

And when the "food" is ready, it can be served on these old tin plates! Now please head on over to Suzanne's, and see more vintage thingies!
