My mom gave me some pink vintage lace from 1987.

It was meant to be her prom dress, but she chose the pastel blue one instead.

I turned it into a lingerie piece.

I collect Wembley Ware, a mid century (1946-1961) Australian ceramics producer. It’s by no means rare, it’s just taken a while to find a well priced one in excellent condition. I’ll be using it for fruit, it’s pretty rare for me to use display quality pieces but used with care I believe there’s minimal chance of damage to the gold. Gold is always over the glaze and as a result is susceptible to wear and scratches. I treat my stuff like I own it though, it all gets careful dusting and wipe downs.

I think it looks really nice on the table, it’ll look even better with fruit. I have too much to display so I rotate what’s on show. From time to time the bowl will be swapped out for a vase or whatever.

i think they are dungeons and dragons?

I am feeling really lucky finding more cherry ames books out here added to my collection I am only missing 5 and moving onto a whole new collection of books out here glad to know the antique stores exist out here 👈

I found a lot of vintage dinnerware from my parents and relatives from the late 50’s to 80’s.

Hey! First time poster here! I think lmao

I bought a Coppercraft planter from a thrift store and it’s sooo cute but someone painted it black! I can see that beautiful Copper tone underneath!
What would recommend I use to remove the black paint?
I’m worried if I use paint thinner that I might also lose that iconic copper color. Normally I would have left it because I’m not overly crafty but this piece is perfect for my house so I thought I’d give it a try.

TIA! 🤎

Needs a new battery

The shelves are upside down right now because they need a minor repair before going up. Still has the owners manual.

Back when my grandparents lived in Michigan (they only lived there for a few years in the 60s before moving to my home state). My grandpa had a degree in Russian literature. I had no idea he ever taught at a university. Apparently he was pretty important!

Morse code chart on back. Knife made in U.S.A. still and many kids carried around similar back then.

Today the CAPC opened this tin of Player’s Navy Cut pipe tobacco made between 1937 and 1953. I recently got my hands on this amazing sealed and swollen tin of Player’s Navy Cut pipe tobacco, it is the only one like it I’ve ever seen. Most cutter tins from this era were 2oz, this tin is a 4oz. This particular blend was the flagship product of John Players and Son, produced for an incredible 132 years, originally introduced in 1883 and not shelved until 2015. This particular example is extremely swollen, a sure sign that the tin is completely sealed. The 73+ years of fermentation gases contained inside are what cause these very old tins to bulge. When I opened the tin I was greeted by one of the longest and loudest hisses I’ve heard from any tin (nice). The aroma inside was absolutely amazing, stewed fruits, plums, raisins, and brown sugar. The epitome of aged Virginia tobacco smells. The flakes are extremely thinly sliced, much more thin than the majority of modern pipe tobacco. It broke down very easily and loaded into the pipe with ease. The flavors that came through were similar to the smell in the tin, very fruity, very sweet, and very complex. This was another absolutely incredible up close look at an amazingly well preserved piece of British tobacciana.

Picked up at a thrift store for $15.

I thought of opening it and using it for the office but it's hard to break the seal at this point

That’s the best pic I can get at this time.

I found it today at an estate sale. Pristine working condition. So excited! ☺️

We saw this at our local St Vincent DePaul today. My husband collects fragrances so he saw it right away. 7 tiny vintage perfumes just for me!

Apparently these were very popular souvenir gifts to bring back from Paris in the 70s-80s.

I'll try each of them...I'm currently wearing the Cabouchard in the middle.
