Cool Stuff My Mom Gave Me & Vintage Bliss Tuesdays Linky Party #23


Last week, I shared a look at some of the "ugly" vintage goods my mom has given me. Some of you (including Mom) didn't think they were so ugly. And that's what's so great about the fact that we are all unique individuals with different tastes and preferences. Imagine if we all liked exactly the same things? How boring!

Anyway, this week I thought I would try to redeem myself by sharing some of my favourite treasures that my mom has given me. I adore my little collection of vintage brass candle holders. They generally sit unused (and rarely dusted) on a side table in my dining room. Now and then I give them an appreciative glance.

It's All Good


Here are some of my thrift store finds from the last two weeks. Last week, my finds fell under a tidy theme, "Think Pink."

This week, not so much. It's all good. My favourite find was this little owl. Not sure what my deal is with owls, but I just love 'em.

Brass Beauties


All of the chain thrift stores, like Goodwill, Value Village and the Salvation Army, seem to be having sales of one kind or another this week.

I am avoiding Value Village’s half price sale today, because it mostly applies to clothing, and we simply don’t need any more!

I will be going to Goodwill’s half price sale this Friday, because it counts on dishes too! Until then, I am saving my money.

So, today I am once again highlighting some of the pieces my mom has given me over the years. I have a number of brass items, including this teapot, above.
