The metal one is from a retro freezer! I found two recently at an antique store for next to nothing. I spray painted one to use in the kitchen and used the other in my garage as well 🙂 I too thought they looked cool and vintage. Nice finds!!

You’ve inspired me into another trip to the thrift shop, Christina. Most recent finds include a nicely packaged set of juggling balls with a book of instructions, all in the original box, and fourteen little Beanie Babies ($10) which match or fit into the new color scheme in my bedroom. Never had BBs before and really like them, especially the Senior Citizen! Also, for about $1, a large heart made of twigs which will go nicely on my daughter’s front door (the one she painted black last year!).

The wire basket looks like it is from a chest type freezer. I have a couple in my freezer just like it!

I also have found several baskets lately too, and if you don’t technically need them at the moment they look good sitting out as décor so they are always close by whenever you DO need one. I love your re-gifting board game idea too!

I love the mirror. I have a similar one, a bit more elaborate and maybe a little larger. I believe my Great Grandmother brought it from Belgium, so you may have a real gem on your hands. Mine was very worn so I painted it shiny black. I get many comments on it.

I tried to include a pic…

I always enjoy seeing all of your great finds! Thrift shopping is one of my favorite things to do! I have the exact same mirror you bought. It has been repainted a couple times already and is currently turquoise blue. I love mirrors and have three of these type throughout my home. They paint beautifully! Have a lovely Memorial Day weekend.

Blessings, Vicky

I just bought a mirror last weekend almost identical to yours and it was an estate sale too! I’m thinking I will paint mine white! Can’t wait to see what you do with yours. I enjoy reading your blog! 🙂
