2nd Time Around: Salt and Pepper Shakers

 

 

Welcome to 2nd Time Around. Please join us by linking a post that features something that is a 2nd Time Around to you…something from a garage sale, flea market, thrift store, estate sale, etc. Please link your post rather than your blog, and link back to this blog. Thank you for participating.

One of the things I’m finding at estate sales, etc. is salt and pepper shakers. I did a post a while back on my first antique mall booth, and showed some of the salt and pepper shakers I have bought.

I continue to look for them everywhere I go, because they usually don’t require much investment, and usually people like them! Those pictures from my booth can be viewed here. The booth is still going strong although it looks different. The china cabinet has been sold and lots of other stuff too! Maybe one day soon I will have pictures of the new booth to share.

My favorite salt and pepper shakers are these…I use them often. They were given to me by my daughter when she moved into her new home. These didn’t fit into her new decor…but they did mine! The pattern is Daisy Chain by Gail Pittman.

I couldn’t resist buying these little guys….they were made in Japan and so cute!

 

This retro pair of S and P shakers was sold this week on Etsy! I love the look and they are very functional too!

 

I have sold several sets of S and P shakers including two hugging geese, a set of pigs, and the hen with eggs in the mall link. I love to look for them, and wish I had enough space to collect them!

How about you? Do any of you collect Salt and Pepper shakers? Tell me about it!

2nd Time Around :Vintage Tins

One of the things I’m noticing more and enjoying buying since I’ve started my booths and Etsy shop is vintage tins. I recently purchased this one, and listed it on Etsy. It is from 1979 and is a reproduction of a Nabisco tin from 1914. It sold rather quickly, and the young lady told me that she and her future hubby were buying these to use at their wedding reception! I am always amazed at the creativity of brides and always love to see what they do differently….this should be so cute! Wish I could see pics of how it turns out.

This one was an estate find, and so pretty! It was the only thing I’ve listed on Etsy that sold the same day I listed it!

This one is slightly damaged with a dent in the lid. But people seem to like it anyway! It is desigened by the Daher company and was made in England.

So…it seems that everywhere I go I’m seeing these vintage tins. I always have to pick them up and check the bottoms to see if there is a date, or a marking of some kind.

Do any of you have any vintage tins? I would love to hear about them!

2nd Time Around: Teapots

I seems that I’m noticing teapots everywhere I go since I started my antique mall and Etsy adventures! This chippy yellow cabinet is not in my booth (I wish) but in a booth near mine at the new antique mall. I love the cabinet, and can’t think of a better way to decorate it than all these vintage teapots! 

 

I only have one teapot at my house even though I love them….I bought this one several years ago at an auction. It came with another teapot and a couple of cups. I love it because it matches my china with the lavender flowers.

Here’s another one I found recently and listed on Etsy. I sold within a week and arrived at it’s destination on Christmas Eve! The lady that bought it emailed me not to worry about it arriving on time…she printed a picture and wrapped that!

 

Do you have something you collect? Tell me about it!

It’s Complicated!

It is so cold here just like most of the rest of the nation! One thing I enjoy doing in cold weather besides browsing flea markets, etc is go to the movies. If you haven’t seen this one, and need a laugh give it a try! I love Meryl Streep and she does a great job in the movie.

Have any of you seen it? What did you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

2nd Time Around: Vintage Chickens and Roosters

Since I last posted about my antique mall booth, and my Etsy shop, I’ve started another adventure. After being on the list for about 4 months, my friends and I finally got a booth at a really large antique mall/flea market. So…..you know what that means-I’ve had to do lots of shopping. Seems like I’ve found lots of cute chickens lately, and I’m going to feature them in this post.

Roosters and chickens don’t really fit into my decor, but I love the look! So here goes:

I found this one at an antique mall in Collins Ms. During the holidays, one of my friends and I visited a really large one owned by Delta Burke and her husband. This chicken didn’t come from there, but a small shop nearby. She is an adorable string dispenser!

This hook is one I did have in my Etsy shop, and it sold!

I’ve been finding some great needlework in my excursions. These coordinating cross stitch pictures were in ugly gold frames, and I painted the frames black to update the look.

And my latest purchase-just made today- is a hen with salt and pepper eggs on each side. The top is a condiment holder with a little spoon. Not sure where she will end up-but it will be one of three places!

Hope you enjoyed my vintage chickens and roosters. I also found a pewter rooster timer, but didn’t get the photos ready for this post.

Hopefully in the next week or two, I’ll have some pics ready to share for the new booth!
