Etsy: Kitchen Confidential

New items up on Etsy! They're all kitchen items I've had for months but was just too lazy to put up. My scale is also too small for glass items and I don't have appropriate size boxes so I kind of winged it on the shipping estimates.

Set of 5 vintage Jacksons of Picadilly tea tins.

Vintage James Kent Old Foley "Eastern Glory" sandwich tray.

I'm always coming across gorgeous Cutler glassware but whenever I do an online search, not a lot pops up. All I know is they were based out of Toronto in the 1970s and they made a lot of really cool custom drinkware. It's unfortunate they're not more coveted by collectors because nobody is snapping up these cool pieces. Popularity kind of dictates interest and when nobody knows about a great brand, nobody wants to pay money for it.

Set of 6 vintage Cutler pussy willow tumblers

Set of 4 vintage striped tumblers

Vintage rustic wood bread box

This next item I haven't listed yet because I think I might want to use it once before getting rid of it. I've always wanted a Le Creuset dutch oven and this is the closest thing I have to it (it's enamel-coated cast iron). I got it from Memory Lane years ago before I had a booth there and I can't put it up in my booth because of the unsaid agreement that you don't resell/mark-up items from a fellow vendor (and I know that vendor's still there because I saw her re-organizing her booth).

Thrift Haul: Southwest Palette

I leave for California tomorrow!!!

I shouldn't have done so much shopping before such a big trip, especially since I know I'll find a million things in the Southwest that I'll want to bring home with me. And the other irony is that most of the things I buy are Southwestern themed, so, I'd be much better off just waiting until I get to the real thing.

But I can't resist bargains so here's some stuff I hauled last week.

This was my favorite find.

A beat up wool rug with a very Navajo Ganado-inspired print and color scheme. It's missing some bits but personally, I like the exclusions. 

Blurry shot. I might leave the rug where it is; I like the layered look.

Lots of frames. New artwork includes the horizontal Spanish piece in the top left hand corner. I also put some Mexican tarot cards and Mexican amate paintings in some frames.

Sucker for bowls, especially the 90's clear bottom Pyrex bowls (blue bowl). This is actually the last color in the Southwest set and the only one I was missing.

Now my set's complete...kind of. Mine don't nest. My new blue one is the same size as the pink one, so I guess what I really need is the large blue one.

Mexican water jug w/ gold plating and a little terracotta pot with glazed steerhead.

These super 90's porcelain canisters. I couldn't resist the Southwest trim and the turquoise lids.

Hubby got me this cute little coral pink patio table...

 

...and I got hubby this military green Russian mailbox.

Thrift Haul: I Love Lamp!

It's my 2 week anniversary at Memory Lane Antiques, and so far I've sold 6 items totalling $111.05 (the uneven amount is on account of discounts provided to other vendors). That's my gross profit right now but I wasn't even expecting to make $100 in my first month.

On to the thrifts!

Goodwill

Found this lovely Kroehler end table for $10. Wood, handmade, and it has a center mount drawer bracket rather than tracks on the sides, which I love. It slides in and out with ease. 

These next items didn't even make it home. Went straight to the store afterwards.

4 Atomic Starburst highball glasses, $14

Sadler sugar and creamer set, $8

So that's how my booth looks now. 

Value Village

Bakelite worry beads. These need to be restrung.

Vintage Shillcraft rug in # 172 Pansies. I bought this because I'm obsessed with hooked rugs at the moment. Little did I know these things go for several hundreds of dollars on eBay.

Two lamps: one midcentury wood lamp w/ marble base made by Sunrise Lamps that I'll be selling and one porcelain lamp (that's actually light blue, but light blue never shows up, as my wall is also light blue) that I will probably keep

Goodwill again

Large oil painting with wood frame. Measurements are 33.5" x 27.5" so it's quite big. Signed LE. It's hanging in my foyer at the moment.

Not gonna lie, I spent more money on myself in the last few days than I have on stuff to sell. So, I better get on that. But I did sell a pair of J Brand jeans on Kijiji and these Amoeba whiskey tumblers on Ebay yesterday!

Happy Tuesday!

Thrift Haul: April Flowers

It's probably safe to say that I've found my niche. I'm the glass lady. Here's what I found on Friday.

Salvation Army

3 vases. Love the bright colors.

8 Wedgwood shot glasses, which are perfect for the incomplete set I have. 

Cute lemon yellow metal lemon juicer. Keeping this.

Value Village

2 flower glasses.

3 flower glasses.

Not a set but they'd go well together.

6 Cutler pussy willow tumblers. Love the frosting and the raised pussy willows.

4 pink stripe tumblers.

James Kent Old Foley Eastern Glory tray.

And for me, two small oil paintings, simply signed ROGER.

Alright, off to Memory Lane to drop some of these off. I feel like the nice weekend weather will encourage people to buy more vernal glassware.

Thrift Haul: Catch-Up

Do you ever notice that once you get a little behind on doing something one day, it snowballs, and then a week later, you're incredibly behind?

I mean, I don't have a schedule to meet or anything but I've missed a couple Thrift Haul posts and shit's been piling up in my office. I also solved the mystery of the missing pitcher. It showed up on my sales report today with a vendor's discount so I'm guessing another vendor in the mall saw it and then hid it so they could buy it today. Makes no difference to me, as long as it was bought.

Kind of ironic that these are up in my work space. Anyway, I hope to get rid of these soon because they just remind me of a child's bedroom and you know, I hate kids. They're made of fabric, have padding, and grosgrain trim. For sale here, $30.

Vintage Durwood John Walter and Sons wood sconces that I picked up at an estate sale. I showed up early and the best items were already sold. Made in Canada. For sale here, $25.

Sam Edelman black suede "Petty" ankle boot. Size 5. For sale on Ebay here, $49, or on Kijiji, here, $40

I liked these a lot but they were a tad too small for me.

 I also loved these but they were way too big. Can't remember the designer either, but they reminded me of Roger Vivier. 

Two carboys, the one on the right is made in Mexico. The left one is for sale here, $12.

And while I'm here, some things I've newly listed. 

Metal tree jewelry holder. Bracelets not included. For sale here, $15 each.

PC bamboo tray. For sale here, $5

You can see the tray in action, although the contrast is awful.

Vibrant orange enamel-coated cast iron cooking pot made in Poland. For sale here, $35

Jacksons of Piccadilly tea tins, for sale on eBay here, $45

Set of 6 Federal Atomic Amoeba sherry glasses. For sale on eBay here, $55

Vintage Lyle & Scott 100% lambswool tartan scarf. For sale on eBay here, $25

Vintage Ayers 100% wool blanket. For sale on eBay here, $40.

As always, I'm willing to ship.
