Well, it is time to share our junk thrifty finds again. My how time flies. I did go to a couple of flea markets this week to hunt and gather and I did find a couple of nice things.
I found this wonderful solid wood magazine holder for only twenty dollars. I believe it is mahogony.
I knew it would be perfect in my English style sitting room.
Also found this large old bobbin.
It was only six dollars, which I thought
was really good for one this large.
was really good for one this large.
It is very chewed up and scratched, but that just makes it better.
Now for my favorite thing of all. I know you are saying what is it? That is the bottom of it isn't it?
Why yes it is. Anyone recognize this name?
I was just walking through the flea market/antique store and was on the very last aisle without finding anything in this particular store and then I heard it! Yes, I heard it. It was making these clucking sounds so of course
I started to look around and I heard it again.
Yes, it was getting louder and I was getting closer.
And there it was this HUGE covered casserole dish. A white and yellow chicken casserole dish no less.
I walked over to it and wondered just how much was this going to be??
I just love the basketweave design, too. I feel a tablescape coming soon.
It was only $24 which I did not thing was very bad for something this big and cute.
Yes, I said cute. Just look at that face. Well actually he looks kind of mean, but hey he is cute in my eye and the perfect colors for my house.
Mr. Savvy does call all this stuff junk, but he says if it makes me happy then that is all that matters. Aw, isn't he sweet. I better say that because I found out he is reading my blog at work. Hi honey!
I am joining the following parties:
Debbiedoos for garagesalen party.
Southern Hospitality for Thrifty Treasures.
Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays.
Please check out these parties and see what other junk goodies were snagged this week.
Hope your weekend continues to be awesome!
Y'all come back now,
KIM

Gotta love that chicken face! Of course you couldn't pass this up. Imagine if it had gone to a totally wrong home - never to be happy as he'll be in your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI love it when things call out to you! How could you resist and he is perfect, yep perfect!
ReplyDeleteI would say you had some great luck! Good for you. I especially like the magazine rack.
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening!

I really like the magazine holder! It is unique in style. I have been looking at some but most I have seen are all the same. I want something different!
ReplyDeleteYou know how I feel about roosters!! Love him! He has character!
I found out my honey is reading my blog at work, too! Little scary...
Well, I do declare! You found some wonderful treasures! Love that chicken!!!! Love it! Nancy
ReplyDeleteYou did good.Such great treasures. I love your magazine rack, it is just perfect and I love the detail on it. Bobbins are usually quite expensive, so I think you did really well on this. Now of course I love your rooster. White and yellow, couldn't be more perfect. Such a great find. I can't wait to see your tablescape. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Kim! You found some great stuff! I especially love the covered rooster dish! I hope you are having a great weekend!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest magazine holder I have seen...and I just have to be honest and say...I want that chicken...love it! What a steal of a deal for $24.00!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI am loving that magazine holder!!! We need one desperately.. I have no clue what a bobbin is! Yep going to look that up and that chicken! haha well it's very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had good flea markets in Baltimore... Or I wish I knew where they were! The ones I have been to have been junk, new things, chinese people selling fake louis vuittons and that sort of thing! BAH!
Great finds! Cute chicken!
ReplyDeleteI spied in your magazine holder the Dream Cottage and garden magazine. Isn't it wonderful! Love every single page!
Wonderful finds! You did great ~ each piece fits in you home perfectly!
ReplyDeleteKim, I love that magazine rack!! It is really fabulous. And that rooster/chicken tureen is perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, Kim! The magazine rack is really lovely and perfect in your room...and I think that chicken is cute, too! Can't wait to see what you do with him...
ReplyDeleteKim, the rooster covered dish was a super find. I'll be eager to see the tablescape built around this guy. I don't think he looks mean. He's fabulous! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteI love the rooster cassarole dish...he looks like he's very happyn in your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteRondell
Kim I love all your junk this week! The rooster is just too cute and the holder is so nice! I hae one question though, what is a bobbin? I've seen them around but have no clue?!
ReplyDelete~jennifer
You did good! Really like the Magazine rack. I use to have a bobbin like that - think my daughter has them now.
ReplyDeletegreat finds! I love the magazine rack! I just did a post on my finds too, although it was at a discount store, not a thrift store, but I had fun none the less!
ReplyDeleteTotally cute KIM!!~ The mag holder is great, and those are not easy to find, we found ours on ebay and it was around the same amount....but to find one with the style you have is hard..you done good too with that CUTE little chicken:) Thanks for joining in on the party. OMG I lol when I read your comment about my father in law....poor guy, I agree though, I have to tell Mike what you said....
ReplyDeleteNice finds!
ReplyDeleteLisa
What fabulous finds Kim. The magazine rack is superb.
ReplyDeleteI love treen, so the bobbin is great too. As for the chook caserole... :o) Yes, all REAL treasures.
Kim, I'll just come out and say it, I want that magazine rack. It is the perfect touch for your English sitting room. Love.
ReplyDelete-Rene
I think it's cute your husband has been reading you from work. I have to remind mine to check out what I've written. That magazine rack is a great find. And the bobbin in a nice size.
ReplyDeleteI am suprised at that cost on the magazine rack. They are apparently another hot ticket item in our resale and antique stores around here. That rack would be ticketed atleast $50.00 or more here, probably even around $60.00. I always keep my eyes open for magazine racks (as I have so many mags I cannot seem to throw away) and am always amazed at how expensive they are! Especially the nice ones like yours! Love the chicken too! I like his look, very sincere chicken..lol! Can't wait to see the tablescape!
ReplyDeleteHubby keeps saying..'your bringing more junk into the house'..I don't think so..it's all treasures!!! lol
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get tired of the chicken(doubtful, but I'll remain hopeful), then please let me know. I know of a great home for this bird!!(yep, it'd be my house!)
ReplyDeleteKim, She is adorable and perfect for your country French kitchen. I think she is going to look smashing on your kitchen table!! have fun dreaming up a tablescape!! Kathysue
ReplyDeletewhat great finds Kim love the style of mag rack hard to find .Love the chick hes wonderful just a different kind of bird as we say.You beat me to the comment on Debbies post i said the same thing lol:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful magazine rack!
ReplyDeleteKim -
ReplyDeleteWOW, you really picked up some wonderful treasures. I love the white and yellow chicken casserole dish. Ohhhhh....she would look so pretty in my kitchen too. :)
Toni
I just found your lovely, lovely blog! I am lusting after your chicken casserole dish - that was a wonderful find (so was everything else). BTW, we just moved from the Gainesville area to SC so it is almost like we were neighbors! Have a super Sunday!
ReplyDeleteLove your chicken, Kim! She is definitely cute.
ReplyDeleteThe magazine holder is fabulous! I have a couple of lyre tables from that same era, that are mahogany, so, I imagine, is your magazine holder. Great find and price!!
That new man of yours is adorable, good price too, way to go.
ReplyDeleteKim,that magazine holder is sooooo pretty - love the lines on it. What a great covered chicken - cheerful! Linda
ReplyDeleteKim, Love the magazine rack and the rooster is so cute. He does have a little angry look. Great finds.
ReplyDeletexo, Sherry
The chicken is perfect! How adorable and perfect for a summer table. I also love the magazine rack. You did very well this week.
ReplyDeleteGreat Finds! I definitly would have bought the mahogany magazine holder! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the magazine rack, it is just gorgeous! GREAT FIND! Your chicken is precious, what a wonderful addition you any kitchen! You always seem to have the knack for finding great things! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSharlotte
Ooo...that chicken would have come home with me too! Tablescapes are spinning in my head just looking at it! Great buy on the magazine rack, so perfect for your room.
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! I love the chicken- adorable! Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteLove your rooster covered dish! I do not blame you for not passing by him, he would have definitely come home with me. I also like your magazine holder and bobbin. I recently acquired a few bobbins, but am not sure what I am going to do with them yet.
ReplyDelete~ Tracy
Kim,
ReplyDeleteYour bobbin just made me remember that I have some just like yours...thanks for posting yours! HAPPY NTT!
Blessings,
Linda
Great magazine rack! Love the pattern on that. Ya'll have me looking for roosters and chickens now, lol.
ReplyDeleteCool and cute chicken casserole! She is adorable with that yellow color against the white. Like the mag rack. When did they go out of style? I found a nice wrought iron one 2 weeks ago- just need to use a little ORB on it. Gee, I wonder why not? LOL
ReplyDeletehugs, Sue
Oh I love your big clucking chicken... I really have a soft spot for chickens and rooster! I love the yellow on this one too and it is perfect with your decor! Great find!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim-
ReplyDeleteYou did great.
The magazine rack is beautiful, and finding a covered casserole like that (that size) is awesome.
I enjoyed visiting- as usual.
