My Finds / His Finds For Me

I've had few chances to hit the second hand stores these past couple of weeks and have found a few things.  So it's nice to finally have the chance to check out my favorite stores.  The Christmas stuff is making it's way onto the shelves which always makes the search that much more fun.

A couple of weeks ago was my first anniversary and I told my husband no gifts the reason for this decision was because he's hard to buy gifts for.  But he bought me the lovely white roses I posted a picture of in my last post.  We went to a antique show on the day of our anniversary it was a last minute decision.  I saw this lovely small Royal Doulton Flambe Veined Vase 1605 Made In England which I really wanted.  I had a small problem I was out of money my friend's husband happened to be talking to me at the time so I had him find my husband and point it out to him.  We now have a new lovely vase added to our collection in the living room.  Okay yes I ended up with a gift and a lovely one too.

The picture of the tree does not look as lovely as the tree does which I see when I look out the window at work.  The orange frosted glasses were a nice find the holder I already had.  The two pictures with the pumpkins and harvest scenes I took down the road at Lepp Farm Market where we buy our vegetables.  The orange metal candle holder I found this past week.  The dishes are part of my good dish sets which are made by Grindley in England.

This was my first attempt at doing a Steampunk window display it turned out okay for a first attempt I think people  really liked it.  I plan to add to it in the next couple of years. 

His Finds For Me

The Westclox alarm clock which is the first in my collection on a stand, the Pyrex dish in the Designs pattern and small cane paperweight were the husbands finds this past week which he got for me.

Yes I am a lucky girl.

This paperweight is unsigned it reminds me of seaweed.

This looks like a summer picture I recently found this vintage tablecloth and wanted to share it.

2nd My Finds / His Finds

My fiancé is always wanting me to post his fishing finds which is how I came up with My Finds / His Finds.  I think someone needs his own blog.

My Finds

I found this small vintage tablecloth which would fit on something the size of a end table.  The colors and design said buy me.

This is one of the larger bowls in the Vintage Tulip pattern of the Fire King bowl set.

I love these recipe cards and sometimes I wish it could be my motto.

The bag on the mannequin has actually been in my basement hanging on a beam holding the mounting clips for our outdoor Christmas lights.

Doesn't this bird tin make you think of Spring?  It says Made In England on the bottom.

This paperweight reminds me of water on the bottom a planet in the middle and snow above.

This is my blog so I get to put in more finds that's just how it goes.

His Finds

A couple of weeks ago we went to a garage sale while snow was falling (this was a first for me).  He found these two vintage fishing creels and he and the seller came to a agreed price. 

Hardy Sunbeam 10 wt. fly reel for Salmon fly fishing.  Made in England.

Hardy Silex centre pin reel from early 60's used for Steelhead fishing.  Made in England.
These two reels are his prized reels I happen to like the ones with the Celtic designs I shared before and I'm again showing you below.

He went to a garage sale last week and bought me a bag of broken costume jewelry because this Coro Necklace was in it and still intact.  He got the bag for $2.00, he did okay.  I also have a use for the broken jewelry it was a win win all around for me.

Wedding Nightmares

I had my first nightmare about the wedding the other night about of all things cutlery. 

Cutlery really, where did that come from?  What would Freud say?  Oh well I'm just going to go with the flow.   

Thanks for taking the time to visit.

Oranges And Lemons

I've gone with an Orange and yellow theme post.  I've had quite a few items in these colors land in my shopping basket  lately.

The lemonade Pyrex containers I found one with a lid the other was lidless.
The orange Pyrex container I found with the lid.
The four bowls in orange and yellow are all Pyrex bowls.
The small Pyrex dish holding a orange and lemon is on top of a vintage tea towel with oranges and lemons on it. 
The tablecloth is also a vintage cloth in excellent condition.

This flower shopping bag is perfect for  going to the secondhand stores I can fold it up in my purse and if I have any items I've bought I have my own bag.

The licence plate is a 1967 British Columbia plate.
The color of the Marigolds worked perfect with my color theme.

These mug holders are something I'm always looking for in different colors.
As I've said before they bring back memories of my grandparents cabin.
The Cups are made in England.

Some Blues

In the last while I've found a lot of blue color items and of course I bought them.  I've found all these items in secondhand stores.  My boyfriend is out at the garage sales and flea markets I'm not ready yet it's still a little to wet for my taste.

This piece of art glass is a lovely blue vase I won in a silent auction at a local secondhand store.  It's an unsigned piece.  It reminds me of water hitting something and splashing up.

This flower shaped looking bowl is a piece of Blue Mountain Pottery that I've added to my collection.

I found this piece of fabric and it took me back to my Childhood in the 1970's when my grandparents brought my mom and aunt fabric from Hawaii.  This fabric has the same look and feel as the fabric they brought back.  This piece is a G.V.H. Hawaiiprint an is just under 2 metres.

This is a large vintage chip bowl which is missing the dip bowl and holder.  I have added it to my collection.

This vintage tablecloth was still in the packaging with the piece of paper with the information about it.  I do not believe this tablecloth has been used.

Vintage blue Cinderella Pyrex mixing bowl.

I wanted some blue flowers for my post so I'm using some I took in July of last year in Fort Langley, British Columbia.
