Vintage and Moolicious Thrift Finds

Tacky or Too Funny, this cute cow step grabbed me.   She needs a little paint, good scrubbing and wood filler to bring her to a full milking glory but I think the effort will be worth it!

Vintagey goodness in the form of card suit cookie cutters:

Thanks for visiting!

The Wood Patch that Rocks the Cradle

I found this on my latest digging expedition to the thrift store.    I hope to patch the corner but it's going to take some research to repair that corner (as pictured).   If it turns out, the cradle's destination is for resale in the booth.   If it doesn't turn out, there's always the yearly - quickly escalating to bi-yearly - garage sale!

$3 investment into the cradle

I'll post the results, good or bad, once it's finished!

Edited to update:  Linking to Thrifty Things Friday party!

An Ugly Before with a side of Vintage Kitchenry

First the ugly - not an attractive piece but it's got good bones!   Some nice detail edging that unfortunately doesn't show in the photo very well.   At almost four feet tall, I couldn't leave this cautionary piece behind for $1.
Some paint and vinyl lettering and hopefully this turns into a remarkable 'after'!  

The vintage score for Friday was a Wilton Skillet with rope design.  Surprisingly detailed and VERY heavy.   This one may be destined for the Etsy store ...I've moved it around the kitchen all weekend and can't seem to strike a display pose worth of it's vintageness!
