Vintage Finds of the Week #12

Welcome to my

Vintage Finds of the Week!

 

 

This week I'm playing catch up... as in the days are going by faster than I can keep up with the incoming inventory! With Bebe home from school I feel like I am juggling....back and forth between "Work at Home Mom" and "Hey Let's Have Fun, Mom!" The let's have fun Mom is winning!

 

I did manage to get a few pictures taken.

 

 

For my Bella Rosa shops I fell

in love with this beautiful set

of  mother of pearl

opera glasses, marked Paris.

 

I also picked up some

Paris prints...

(Eiffel Tower, too, yay!)

... but alas, no photos yet.

 

 

And although it is hard to tell, this is a very

small set of stocking or sock stretchers.

Probably for a toddler or baby.

The original price is still written

there in pencil ... 25 cents!

 

 

And here is what I found this week

for my other Etsy shops:

 

This bright and cheery vintage Coca-Cola "soda machine"

is something kids would have played with, pretending to have their own soda shop. I would have loved it!

The trick is to place a coke bottle inside.

When the handle is pulled down, it tips

the soda bottle which then "pours" out of the small

spout and fills the cup. So cute!

I had a "Snoopy Snow Cone Machine,"

which thrilled the little

entrepreneur in me at age 5!

 

My dear Hubby picked this up and I almost

didn't share it with you ... E.T. was a hit

in the 80's after all, but he looks a bit

goofy on my Bella Rosa page.

I placed him in my Hubby's etsy shop.

He talks and says "Home"...

 

 

And while we are

sharing 80's stuff....

This was a fun find...

 I remember how

cool it was to have a

real SWATCH WATCH!

I must have priced

it too low because it sold

a day after I listed it

on Etsy for $59.00.

It may have been

a rare style that was

not sold in the U.S. 

I always learn

from my mistakes! 

 

 

 

 

And I decided to go for it and sell this great

Campfire Marshmallows tin.
It was featured this week for the

"Vintage Inspiration Party" link up.

How cool was that?

 

 

And I was inspired to create

a suitcase stack when my

hubby brought home the larger

suitcase at the bottom.

I loved it so much I am using

it in our newly remodeled

basement "living area" space

where we have family movie

night. Great for storage!

 

Hope you enjoyed my

sampling of vintage finds!

 

I'd love to hear about

your favorite find of the week.
