Normally when I head into Thrift Town, I come prepared with a list in hand for whatever project I’m specifically shopping for that week. However, I can’t resist meandering over to Thrift Town’s large housewares department for a quick look to see if any fun vintage items came in. I love decorating and staging areas of my home using vintage inspired pieces. One area I’ve been wanting to focus on lately is my kitchen. Check out some fun pieces I found for pennies on the dollar!

The first thing my eye spotted was a vintage strainer. My Noni had one exactly like this when I was a kid and remember helping her harvest the huge Italian bean stalks she had in her backyard…picking them and then throwing them into her star patterned strainer! Had to grab this for nostalgia’s sake. As well as a variety of fun vintage metal pots/bins, as well as a vintage grater made in France and an adorable rooster pot make up this fun kitchen decor.

One of my favorite finds were these set of four vintage Coca-Cola glass mugs, paired with the vintage napkin holder!

Loved this miniature statue paired with this fun wall decor.

Also found some great, like new condition kitchen items. Could be cute using in decor as well as useful tools.

Very productive trip to Thrift Town!

Happy thrifting!
