Favorite Things - Old

My Favorite Things - Old

These are some of the VINTAGE THINGS that I collect. (I may have one or more of these....but am still on the hunt - you can never have too many).

  • Linens
  • Skeleton keys (For you young 'uns, that means old keys and not keys to unlock an actual skeleton!)
  • Glass bottles & jars
  • Wooden boxes & bins
  • Metal milk crates
  • Glass milk bottles
  • Metal milk carrier baskets (with the handles)
  • Wooden benches & chairs
  • Suitcases
  • Sewing notions (includes, but not limited to: thread, buttons, ribbon, bias tape, rick-rack, material)
  • Children's books and school books (circa 1930's - 1970's)
  • Almost anything from the '50's that has that retro-blue color (from clocks to dishes to fans)
  • Baby clothes
  • Dishes
  • Metal baskets from old refrigerators (the drawers)
  • Clocks
  • Mirrors
  • Windows
  • Glass door knobs
  • Cameras
  • Bowls
  • Milk glass (especial the hobnail style. My husband thinks it's ugly. I bought a couple of milk glass pieces at a garage sale when I was pregnant for either Nikayda or Aapo and he thought it was 'just because I was pregnant' and that I wouldn't like it after I had the baby! He was wrong. LOL.) :)

(Remember: All of the above are vintage things that I like).
