fab finds

In my post about the Kiwanis Antique Show, I mentioned that I had managed to find some treasures to bring home (never a difficult thing for me to do!). Here are a few of my fabulous finds from that morning:

I was so excited to discover this amazing Swedish cup and saucer.



 

Also finding their way home with me were a white Haeger pot (love the texture), a mid-century glass tray (love the swingin' designs), and a 1942 yearbook from Visalia Junior College in California (love the grinning gent with the ascot in the lower left section of the photo below.)


 
I also found a sweet but frank 1950s book about the birds and the bees ~ I love how the back cover is a reflection of the front cover.

 



Linking to Thrift Share Monday at Apron Thrift Girl, and to Flea Market Finds at Her Library Adventures ~ be sure to check out all of the fabulous finds at their blogs too!

    You found some very lovely items, especially the cup/saucer. I have never come across any scandinavian housewares, yet I live in the midwest!!

    I'm not sure why it's so hard to find Scandinavian dishes in the Midwest, but I rarely come across any, so I was amazed to find this cup and saucer. I dream of owning a whole set of these dishes!

    Thank you for all of your nice comments ~ as a new blogger, it's especially exciting to receive and read them.

    Glorious finds, and photos! I especially love the sweet mod finds, and I always love uncovering old books.

    I love your blog banner, too. My mom has a small collection of those lovely ladies. I scoop one up for her whenever I see them for a decent price.

    Thanks for your sweet comments! I used to collect the lady head vases and still have a small collection, but the ladies in my banner are actually from a photo I took of head vases for sale at a dealer's booth at the Oronoco Gold Rush Days flea market that I attended a couple of years ago. I loved seeing them grouped together like that ~ I thought they were so pretty!
