vintage thrifting finds

 From my thrifting haunts the past couple of months...

1950's Queen Anne (England) tea set ~ pattern is Caprice. 


I think the curves and colors of the teapot are gorgeous.


 I have a fondness for small vintage prints. This one is called Flemish School Flowers and is a silk print, handmade in Italy.


 Even the back has pretty paper on it. Originally sold by Marshall Field & Co. I have such good memories of Marshall Fields. It's where I had my first job as a teen. It was my grandma's favorite store and she loved shopping there with me ~ especially since I had a discount!



 A stack of Nancy Drew books ~ loved these as a kid! I still have a bunch of books from when my boys were growing up. I need to buy a small bookcase for the downstairs family room and fill it with just children's books.


 Glass containers are great for storing leftovers (buh-bye to toxic plastic!), especially when they're vintage Pyrex dishes. I was thrilled to find this one with a lid in perfect condition.


 A vintage magazine stand ~ thought it was even more charming with the decoupaged flower print on the front.



Have you found any thrifted vintage treasures lately?
