Vintage Finds

 One of the many perks of having my mom out here is that she brought me tons of vintage items that we have been collecting since I was little. Some of it was my grandma's and some we bought over the years. Every time I see my mom I get a new box of stuff!

Photobucket
Like this Pepsi crate and cake plate. LOVE! Now I need to figure out something cute to do with the crate. (sorry for the crummy iphone photos....something is wrong with my camera) (oh and the galvanized tiered stand in the background is not vintage...it's from pottery barn)

Photobucket
And my favorite polka-dot mixing bowl set. My mom has a set with black dots...so adorable.

Photobucket
And all of my pyrex dishes! I totally forgot I had these.

Photobucket
And some jade mixing bowls. I have six mugs too. I must find a way to incorporate these into my kitchen color scheme.

Photobucket
And no vintage finds post would be complete without including a few mason jars. I love the lids. And isn't the cake plate to die for? Once I find everything a home I'll post more pictures. Happy Monday everyone!

OOH! All kinds of fun stuff!

I love the polka dot stuff... I'm in love with the Spode polka dot canisters... but I have zero room for them right now.

Someday.

You need to use the blue mason jars for some of the awesome pinterest ideas!

Would your pepsi crate fit wine bottles? We used a vintage milk crate for a wine rack and it was awesome. I love all of your finds! Have fun finding places for them :-)

I am so in love with those polka dot mixing bowls. And the jade. And the pyrex reminds me of my grandmother's set. Such special things. Glad you have them. :)
