Treasure Trove Tuesday - My Latest Vintage Finds

23 February

I've had pretty good luck during my last couple of thrifting sprees so I thought it was time to share!

If you are new here, I regularly shop at thrift stores and garage sales for items that I can resell in my Etsy shop, Little Boho Cottage. I share what I have found during my latest sourcing trips and include the price I paid and what I think I can sell it for in my shop!

Some of the items I find are for me to keep, some go straight into my shop, and some of them are supplies for crafting.

Treasure Trove Tuesday - My Latest Vintage Finds

I know this is a little bit hard to see, but it's a vintage Alabaster donkey! I'm not sure what his purpose is, but he has two holes in the top about the size of a pencil.

Price $2.99, Value $18 to $20.

I thought this vintage amber glass dish was so pretty but I almost had to kill the cashier at Goodwill when she just tossed it in a bag with some other breakables! Jeez lady, what's your trip?! Please wrap that in paper!

Price #3.99, Value - Keeping!

I loved these tiny little cocktail forks!

Price .75 cents each, Value - keeping!

This glass container is a newer item from Target.

It actually goes this way, the wood piece is the lid, but I plan to use it the other direction! It will make a cute little dome for a fun spring vignette! Price $2.99, Value - Keeping.

This glittery "SWEET" sign is now in my Valentine's Day decor for next year!

Price .99 cents, Value - Keeping!

I have a plan for upcycling this little gumball machine too! Price $3.99, Value - Keeping (for now)!

I like to use paper straws for my keto drinks and breakfast shakes. They are better for the environment because did you know that normal plastic straws are terrible for our environment? Here is a short interesting article: What's Wrong With Plastic Straws?

These are fun for spring! Price $.49 cents per package, Value - Keeping and Using!

I picked up this Year Planner to use too. Price $.99 cents, Value - Keeping.

This pom-pom pillow is pretty cute and the cover is removable so I can wash it! Price $3.99, Value - Keeping.

Scrapbook paper is always nice to have on hand so I picked up this small pad of 6" x 6" papers. Price, $.49 cents, Value - Keeping.

I love this awesome boho shell mobile! I think it could possibly be used for a plant hanger too, but I'm not too sure.

Price, $2.49, Value, $35 - $40.

I'm going to use this frame for an altered shrine. Price, $.49 cents, Value - Keeping for art!

I thought this stoneware set was pretty sweet!

They are in perfect condition! Price, $6.98 for the set, Value $40 - $45.

I picked this up because of the adorable graphics on the box but after I purchased it, I saw the "Toys R Us" sticker on the front and was disappointed thinking it's not really vintage.

But upon further investigation and research, I think it is vintage after all from the very early 1960's! Here are my clues:

The address information on the back of the box has a 5-digit zip code which we started using in 1963.
But it also has New York state abbreviated with periods, N.Y. The periods disappeared right around that same time.
Toys R Us originated in 1957 (check out this interesting article: Inside the Rise and Fall of Toys R Us).
The graphics are in line with the 1960s.
The foam eraser inside is all but disintegrating😂

Price $.99 cents, Value $12 - $14.
