Vintage Finds

My mom and I drove to the Tulsa Vintage Show this weekend. It was my first time to go to this particular show and I wasn’t sure what to expect.

It was great!

Tons of booths with everything from chippy salvaged pieces to beautiful flow blue platters. There was also antique furniture, stuff found on a farm, vintage jewelry, and so much more.

I bought this small white platter with really pretty crazing in the finish…..

I also bought this square gold frame….

This twiggy (nest?) wreath isn’t vintage, but I loved its shape and size…..

I know that these Scrabble tiles and holders have been around for awhile, but this is the first one I’ve bought….

I also got some extra letters to spell out a few other words and phrases….like this nod to our local NBA team….

In one booth, I spied this vintage mirror. It has some “antiqued” spots (which I love) and a hanger already on the back. It also has some weird “$4.00 haircut” sign written in bronze paint (which I don’t love).

I’m hoping that the paint will come off easily….

I’m pretty sure this is a chicken feed trough. I intend to clean it up, seal it, and turn it into a shelf…..

And finally, what may be my favorite find of the day, is this pair of vintage corbels with a wonderfully chippy finish….

The Vintage Tulsa Show comes around only once a year and I’ll definitely be planning another trip next February.

It was a fun day spent “junkin” with my mom. And I got all this loot for $65.00!

I’ll be sure to show you what I end up doing with some of these pieces, so stay tuned!

    Does this cold weather make you crave warm comfort food? It certainly does for me! The colder the air, it seems, the greater my hankering for soup.

    My house was egged…. Easter egged, that is!   We found this sign in the front yard. I don’t know how well the writing on the sign will show up when I publish this, so if you can’t see it, it says: You have been egged!! There are 21 eggs hidden in your yard. Have…
