This weekend I met up with BellaMomma for some hardcore thrift shopping. I came home with a lot of metal- tins, trays, buckets, old trash cans.
I was like a magnet.
Sorry, I could not resist that reference.
Here are my finds from the weekend and a few things from the weeks before.
And my very favorite...
Another Calf-teria.
And NOPE- doesn't take much to make me happy.
Now I have a pair. Yeah, I know my new one is missing a nipple. And I can't believe I just typed the words- missing a nipple. But I love it anyway.
And I might have started a trend in the county we were in. Apparently everyone has these in their barns and no one has ever thought to use them as planters. Trust me, it's a conversation piece.
And by the way- found a lot more than all of this. But I couldn't do all my show and tell today. More to come.

Great finds, I wish I had a bit of your magnetism for finding cool tinware! ;-) And now I want my own calf-teria to use as a planter!

And here I came expecting to listen to Nine Inch Nails and found this lovely post.
That's a real conversation piece you got there!
wow, great finds girl. you have the best luck. i love the creamettes tin and the calfeteria bucket. can't wait to see the rest.
Ah, a girl after my own heart. I LOVE tins. I especially like the salting cracker one.
Wow! I love your treasures - even without a nipple! (LOL!!)
I have the same trash can that I bought when I visited Kim (Daisy Cottage) in Florida.

love the finds...i wish i had more time to thrift shop for stuff like that...and my other problem, i don't have the space to store it all.
thanks for stopping by! cute outfit...i am a total sale girl as well!
Ican't believe you got that tray for 25 cents! I just saw a very similar one at an antique store (probably a bit larger) for $44 - yes, forty four dollars!!! You go girl! Becky
