Welcome to Let's Talk Vintage!
It's a come one, come all
kind of link up party!
If you can answer any of these
three questions with a "YES!" then
you've come to the right place:
1. Do you love vintage?
2. Does your mind love to take
something old and make it "new" again?
3. Are you a thriftin', junk lovin',
flea market decoratin' kind of person?
Feel free to link up your latest
re-purposed stuff, vintage items
you have for sale, thrift
shop finds and more!
Today I'm sharing with you
some of my uh, attic finds.
They definitely came out of the attic.
As in, it is January and I am pulling
out things I packed away last year!
They are now in my Etsy
shops... or about to be listed there.
I remember buying this antique
camera with a German lens at our
local Tuesday flea market.
These old pieces continue to
have great appeal, no matter
how advanced we get with technology!
Which is why I love looking for
antiques. Old things evoke
emotions from us, don't they?
This spoon keeper is just simply charming.
I mean really! Look how sweet.
It has a great use, too.
But, now that I think about it,
where I found it is a mystery!
I love this teacup for the same reason.
Sweet and charming. More on the
shabby side due to some
gold paint loss... but the deep
green color with the pink roses
make it stand out for me.
It has been easier for me to find
depression glass lately. The
younger generation is just not
into buying this kind of thing.
Plus, the market is being
flooded with baby boomer stuff.

But lucky for us... we love finding
each and every treasure!
Check out this paper doll set
from 1953... "Here's the Bride!"
How times have changed.
I am always surprised how
nice vintage jewelry
pieces look when on display.
just pops!
I'll be hunting down "new"
treasures tomorrow with
Joyce from A Quilted Nest
tomorrow... I haven't really
done too much shopping
because I had so much inventory
stored away. Should be fun
but Brrrrrrrr... it is now really
cold here! Hello Winter!
Let's take a look at
this week's features:
Jann of Have a Daily Cup
of Mrs. Olson shared her
Valentine cuties... hand made
treasures using tart tins!
Love how this vintage
chair turned out over at
It was the perfect vision for it.
The kitchen towel seat cover
was a great idea... plus
red is always a great color!
Sarah has done it again
over at Sadie Seasongoods.
Had to show you her gun rack
turned fabric holder!
Dianne of Deanie's Stash,
tugged at my heartstrings
when she shared some vintage
soap savers. I remember my
Grandmother using hers. How I
wish I had it now! The depression
era really taught people how
to be frugal and once those
habits were born, they stayed
for a lifetime.

Hi Jill, I'm like you - have lots of stash in the basement inventory, and we just pulled a whole new set into our booth spaces last week. Thanks for hosting the party, and stay cozy out there. It's hard to want to shop, load and unload the car when it's so darn cold, isn't it? Snow's expected in our state by Friday, but I hope they're wrong!

Love the antique camera. Love the necklace too and I've a piece of vintage Scottish jewellery to show you today.

Hi Jillian, such wonderful pieces from the past. Thank you for hosting Lets Talk Vintage 67. Love visiting and joining in. Have a lovely week.

Oh Jillian, I had those paper dolls, I was 5 or 6 then. All your treasures are so interesting and diverse, love that. Thanks for hosting always the best party. Sandi
I have a spoon keeper like that, except the embroidery on mine is more colorful. It appeared one day in the garage, in a box of rags my dad was using for oily stuff. No one has a clue who made it or where it came from. The best guess is that it was his mother's, but that doesn't explain how it got in with the rags.
I can remember paper dolls and how I loved them back in the 1950's era
It's so fun to find items like that of our childhoods
I have cleaned out all my extra stash of vintage items already and now i'm buying more ? guess it's new vintage stuff ?LOL that I haven't had before
Jillian, thanks so much for the feature dear friend! Love seeing what you pulled out of the attic. I have a similar camera and love it! The spoon holder is so sweet and love Diannes soap savers! Thanks for the party!
hugs,
Jann
Just now seeing this... yes - gonna be cold. Might need some long johns or an under layer of leggings for our treasure hunting excursion. (and I could use some good finds - my pickin's is getting slim!) Love your spoon holder BTW :)
Great finds out of your attic, Jill. I especially like that camera--awesome. Thanks so much for the party!

Love all of your attic finds, especially the spoon keeper and paper dolls. I would love to go back to the 50's for a week to see it all in person! I must go shopping in my attic soon! Thanks for the great party!
Thanks so much for hosting Jillian. I love the spoon keeper. I've never seen one like that before. So pretty.
