thrift store finds
I keep forgetting to post these, but here’s catching up now. I posted one of these vintage bedsheets before but there’s more:
The one on the right turned into a quilt back and a table cloth, but I’m not sure what the other two will be used for yet. I really love the orange one though.
I loved finding these vintage storing jars for tea. We bought new loose tea this weekend and filled these up.
And finally, jackpot: I found a beautiful china set from the 1950′s/1960′s and I love the simple, scandinavian design. They had set of about 6 small, 6 large and 6 deep plates along with a bowl and some other stuff. At 30€ for the whole set I didn’t have to think about it long. It is now replacing our chipped Ikea dishes and is just soo much nicer and prettier.
I am slowly replacing all of our old kitchen stuff with new, nice things to help us keep our resolution of cooking more food from scratch and eating healthier. It’s working a treat I have to say!
Cookie recipe here (used chopped dark chocolate instead of cocoa and only 1 1/2 cups of sugar and added 1/2 cups of oats).
Too funny! I just told my husband to be on the lookout for new dishes at the thrift store, since out ikea ones are all chipped. We must have the same set :)
I bet we do! I think everyone has had these Ikea dishes at one time. The thrift store ones are so much nicer, I hope you find a cute set for yourself soon!
Great finds! Love those tea jars especially!
Thanks Lynda :) Me too, I love how sturdy they are. I am trying to slowly build a collection of nice stoneware and glass jars for kitchen stuff, it is just so much nicer than plastic!
