Ballet Toe Shoes

There is something magical, to me, about ballet shoes. I especially like the toe shoes. It amazes me how ballerinas can dance on their toes! This is the only pair of ballet slippers that I have ever found in a thrift store. They are in great shape (like only been worn a couple of times). And... They were super cheap (like a couple of dollars cheap)!

Parrington Designs Tennis Teapot

Since my last post was about a teapot, I thought I would stick with the teapot theme for another post. Although I don't love this teapot as much as the strawberry one, it is still very unique. This is a tennis themed teapot with a green chair, tennis racket, tennis bag &towel. The fun part is that the bag and towel are the lid for the teapot. Cute, right? This teapot is made by Richard Parrington Designs. I found it in a thrift store for under $10!

Fitz & Floyd Strawberry Teapot

I think this may be the cutest teapot EVER! I eyed it in a thrift store for about a week before I actually purchased it. I was in a glass case and, while it wasn't super expensive, I resisted asking them to take it out so could look at it more closely. When I flipped it over and saw FF, I had to buy it!

Vintage Bible

This is "The Inspirational Bible with the Bible in Alphabet". The copyright on this one is 1947. That makes in fairly old, and it's in great condition. I often wonder about this history of these old Bibles, like where they came from and were they handed down in a family. I don't often buy religious books, but this one was only $1.01. I thought it needed to be rescued from a thrift store and given a good home!

Bronzed Baby Shoe Bank

This is a bronzed baby shoe that has been turned into a bank. Does anyone else remember bronzed baby shoes? My baby shoes were never bronzed, but my mother's were. I always remember my mother's bronzed baby shoes sitting on top of a dresser in my grandparents house. That is perhaps the reason I had to purchase this one. I think I paid 99 cents for it!

Flower Shaped Lazy Susan

This is a retro, flower-shaped lazy susan serving dish. It has a brass handle in the middle and the flower petals are little serving dishes or bowls. All of the little petal bowls detach from the lazy susan base. I love that it's a really deep shape of turquoise.

Mid Century Modern Bowl

This is a mid century modern bowl that is kind of boomerang shaped & rests on a brass pedestal. It has an orange peel texture on the outside. Groovy right?
