Well, my resolve didn't last long -- exactly 3 days...
Yesterday was Senior day at the local thrift, so I just had to go and see what was there -- and I'm really glad I did, because I found some wonderful old things:
5 Libbey Glass merry-go-round animal glasses. I looked for these for a long time!
A penguin ice bucket
2 enamelware bowls
A 1960s letter holder that I've been watching -- it finally was reduced to 50%. It will look really nice when I'm finished redoing it!
An interesting little tabletop jewelry cabinet from the 1960s or 70s
3 springtime flower glasses from 1983
2 Libbey Glass large mix glasses or vases (I'm not sure which) and a 'Flash' collector glass from 1971
Two framed Currier & Ives prints -- the framing date on the back is 1953
A small 'sewing' rocker -- I have no idea why it's called that. Do any of you know why?
I also went to the fabric store to look for some retro fabrics to cover the chair and some footstools. I really love Amy Butler's designs and found 4 that I want to use, but now I'm second guessing myself.
What do you think? Should I have gone more shabby chic since I'm planning to put the refurbished pieces in the antique mall booth?

I'm going to have to try to not give in to temptation again!
Love the animal glasses and penguin ice bucket - so cute...... It's hard to resist when there are bargains to be had.....
ReplyDeleteI love those carousel glasses. I would have had to have them too.
