Thrift store paint-by-numbers, these are big, about 18 x 24 inches. Both from the same thrift store about 2 months apart. I think I paid 3.99 each. One more and I'll have a collection! I snuck these into the house and have them stashed in the man cave because I know my limits - I'll probably never be allowed to hang them on the wall in any of the living areas. That's OK. Some day when I build my garage, I'll have a top notch gallery.
Big orange ash tray - cool styling. I'll never let anyone use it for it's original purpose, but I do like the occasional ashtray just to look at.
Grabbed this Penn State Nittany Lion mascot statuette at 75 % off the starting price. It reminds me of my hometown and alma mater - now if it was about 6 feet long, it would look great in a corner of our back yard.
These next few items are accessories for the Shasta camper:
Small aluminum pot that's also an egg poacher - $2.99
Kitchen drawer organizer - 50 cents
Water jug - picked it up for a good deal on etsy.com the other day. Goes pretty well with the old coolers, don't you think?
all very awesome finds! i'm jealous of your cooler collection! we recently bought a '73 coleman prowler, it's been a lot of hard work and even more fun!
ReplyDeleteCool, I'd love to see your camper, I liked that one you saw at Viva Las Vegas too
ReplyDeleteYour paint-by-numbers are excellent! I remember fondly the days when I could buy them for $3.99. The last time I was at the thrift store they had two of them... and wanted twelve bucks EACH!? Horrors!
ReplyDeleteYou picked up some great items! The paintings are awesome and I can't believe you got them for those prices. Your coolers are fantastic and the water jug completes them.
ReplyDeleteOMG we had that aluminum egg poacher when I was growing up! I remember using it as a saucepan and making Kraft Macaroni & Cheese in it. Good thrift finds - congrats!
ReplyDeleteMiss RM - I really was surprised to find those PBNs that cheap. Saw a couple japanese geishas on black velvet that look like PBNs, decent white frames, $14 each. I may have to take another look at those.
ReplyDeleteKrazy4 - I do love those coolers, and was happy to find a vintage jug. (Must resist buying more of these)
Mod Betty - that's too funny. Hope I'll run into you at the Sled Works in the morning.
Ooh la la! I really like the paint by numbers. They are hard to come by out here, and when you do find them...pricey! I really like the cooler too. I have been needing to post on my trailer and...wait for it....I bought another vintage trailer this weekend! OMG! I can't wait to go vintage camping!!
ReplyDeleteANOTHER VINTAGE CAMPER??!!!??? Wow wow wow - please post lots of pics and the story behind it
