Hi y’all! I’m pooped from writing literally all day, but I had to share some of my finds from the past week. Apologies in advance for the lack in witty commentary…my brain’s tired.
♥ Vintage floral plates for a future photo shoot, 69 cents to $1.99, found at the St. Vincent de Paul store off Lake Street.
♥ A mint-condition set of cream and gold trays, four for $5, also from Vinnie’s. The striped dress I’m wearing is also a Vinnie’s find. It’s a super-comfy stretchy cotton Calvin Klein number with the most flattering scoop-neck. I think it was $3?
♥ A big old bookcase that’s destined to hold our stereo, turntable and records. We need to secure it to the wall before loading it up with vinyl, so it’s currently kind of a hodge-podge. I was so happy that the finish matches our trim perfectly AND that there’s a nice-sized cabinet on the bottom (MORE STORAGE!). I found this bad boy via Craigslist, for sale at Empty the Nest in Burnsville for $30.
Have you been out thrifting recently? I’m drying to hear about your prize finds!

Lovely finds! The first plate (top left) is Blue Ridge Pottery and was made in Erwin, TN. My maternal grandparents worked at the factory. My grandmother attached handles to cups and my grandfather worked the kiln. :)

My Parents had the same plates as the top right when I was growing up!

Love those plates! I am always on the hunt.
The plate on the upper left is definitely hand-painted and possibly done by the Blue Ridge Pottery Company. Very pretty
Yes, it is Blue Ridge, just like the set you found for me. You have a great eye!
