JUNKIN FINDS FRIDAY #4

Welcome to Junkin Finds Friday!  I can't believe this is the fourth party I've hosted!  I am enjoying this so much and thank each and everyone of you that take the time to link up each week!  FYI ~ next Thursday is Thanksgiving and I know most of you will be busy this week with cooking and family time.  We will not have JFF next week but will resume the week after!

Please add your links below.  Be sure to link up your post not your blog.  Please have a link back to the party here in your post so others can join in!  That's it and have a great week!

Today I am showing a new addition to my cubby

This beautiful little Fenton vase was found at The Apple Barrel Antique store in Breman, GA

 

The shape and the color grabbed me as I walked by it

Holding my breath as I checked the price...$6

Wow, it's mine! 

 This large chip is why the low price, but on my shelf it doesn't show and it makes me really happy!

Vintage Christine showed some of these beauties on her blog recently and so when I saw this I was thrilled! 

Unless I am short on time I always check out the books

This one was $2.50 at the Goodwill

I love having reference books to help me with all the goodies I find!  This one is by the fabulous Gene & Cathy Florence

I have several of their books and they are wonderful! 

I also found this collected works of William Shakespeare

again $2.50 it was published in 1937

So join in and show me your junk and your bargains!

Happy Junkin!

ALMOST THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPE!

Oh my Goodness...only one week until Thanksgiving!  I am excited to be cooking a turkey and all the side dishes this year.

Meanwhile here is a fun Fall Table for Two!

I found two of these charger plates at the GW and they were the inspiration for this tablescape

I love the details, acorns, blue berries and leaves

This is the back side of a place mat

The leaves and pumpkins were perfect for this table

 These dark green plates were next

I have used these plates many times, the edge makes them one of my favorites

The salad plate was next and I love the colors and the pumpkin on this plate

The flatware is the bronze set I use often with fall tablescapes

The centerpiece was fairly simple

These cute S & P shakers are from Michael's this year bought with a 40% off coupon

Water and wine glasses in green and amber, both with square stems add a nice touch 

These napkins are from WalMart and the napkin rings are from Pier 1 found at a thrift shop

The fruit bowls are from a yard sale I went to while visiting my Mom in Texas...love the colors

A favorite fall serving dish

The candle is lit

The table is set

Ready for the meal to be served! 

Everything on this table was thrifted or found at a retail store on sale.  It makes me happy to set such a pretty table for such a thrifty price!

I'm joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch

Be sure to stop by and see all the lovely tablescapes!

Don't forget the link will be up Thursday evening for 

Junkin Finds Friday!  Hope to see you there!

Happy Junkin,

OH THE THINGS I FIND!

I want to share with you some of my vintage finds..

 I found four of these Harmony House Christmas plates last spring

They have an area for a cup, so I guess they are snack plates

I think the design is so fun

Do you remember SANKA decaffeinated coffee?

 This is a restaurant ware pot made as a promotional item by Hall China company...it is a wonderful size!

 This green and white creamer was found last week 

on one of my thrifting adventures!  I can't seem to leave a cute creamer on the thrift shop shelves!

Sadly, I am running out of room (you are so not surprised are you?) so all these are going in my Etsy shop AntiqGirl!

I'm joining Thrift Share Monday 

With Apron Thrift Girl

and

Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays

With Linda At Coastal Charm!

Happy Junkin!

SILVER MAKES ME HAPPY!

Today I'm sharing an 'encore' post from January 9, 2010  It was a post for Silver Sunday

 These three silvers were thrift shop finds from my Marathon thrfting the last few weeks...

 The large tray has not been cleaned at all...It was $2.50 on 1/2 price day.  I like the edge detail and think it is a good size for many uses. It has some weight to it but silverplate I'm sure.  It does have markings that say Leonard and E P (electroplate?) marked Italy and some other symbols.  I tried to get a photo of those but they did not come out.

These next two items were only $1 each again at 1/2 price.

The oval tray is Oneida.  The cup is marked Wm Rogers & Bro(?).  Both were very tarnished so I used a little silver polish on them so I could see the details better.  There is still plenty of tarnish, er I mean character left on these pieces. 

A little more detail on the oval tray...

This photo includes the large serving spoon that was a gift from my Stepmother, Gypsy....It is quite lovely.

So many interesting details...flowers and monogramed with an S

It is marked Wm Rogers pat. 1904...is that a pattern number?  I will have to look it up.

This is a highly collectible silverplated floral pattern called Berwick aka Diana. The pattern dates back to 1904 and is a product of the Art Nouveau period. The pattern features flowers, leaves and vines, very ornate. Berwick was made by International Silver and the pieces are marked with the "Eagle Wm. Rogers Star" mark along with "Pat. 1904".
Wow!  Interesting information!  I have several more pieces I inherited when Gypsy passed away and I will have to get them out.

I'm joining these wonderful parties

Welcome to Junkin Finds Friday!  This is my 3rd party and I am so glad you joined me!  Last week we had 24 participants!  I hope you got a chance to visit and see what so many others are finding in their thrifty shopping.  I was asked if it had to be a 'new' post or current find and the answer is no.  I welcome re-run posts and old finds that you want to share.  I also want to invite those of you who don't 'junk' but do find great thrifty items at retail stores.  You are welcome to show off those great bargains here also.  So let the party begin!

These are my latest junkin finds!
