Junkin' Finds-early March 2017

Well, everyone's purging, and that is a GREEN and Good thing if you are searching for OLD or NEW.

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

First I snagged this gorgeous 'Country Living' label Quilt for a mere $12.99 at a local thrift store. The large top is perfect with a few faint spots on the back. It is pieced and machine quilted.

The colors are perfect for the back porch, but the greens actually match the living room. So I'm sure I will use this in multiple ways---except for eating on.

I love the fabrics---very vintage looking cottons and very nicely done. 

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

I love the puckering from the quilting and the star point edges. 

I'm not a ruffles girl, so this was right up my alley.

Another pretty tea cup---marked Elizabethan Staffordshire.

Clearly Britain can't produce too many tea cups. From the wear on this I think it isn't particularly old, but is in perfect condition. Stoke on Trent factories, produced and still produce much of Britain's wares. Taylor and Kent used this name up until 1982, their Florence factory was sold and then wares produced under 'Elizabethan' name, and then I get a dead end.

This appears to be newer than that, but only $.99 for the set, so a deal. Lots of stuff around with this or a similar mark. I will guess almost 30 years worth, figure after 1985, this shape later, even.

The term bone china comes from a required percentage of animal bones ground for their calcium in the production of the clay. 

So, just another pretty teacup from Staffordshire England---

the Mother-ship for all stray teacups.

After Christmas purging? This was adorable a classic small Racer not a scratch on it, or a bend in its runners, abandoned at GoodWill, for 2.99 going for $9-24.95 on eBay.

I think it may have been issued for an anniversary.  Too cute.

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

It really is cute. I can see a REDO wreath wearing this for winter. 

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

After Valentine's purge---three tins/box for heart REDO projects next year $1.25 total. 

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

Two, washed once, hand towels in a vibrant red print. With the new all white kitchen, 

I'm sure these will be great for summer entertaining. $1.50 for 2. 

I think they match 12 bandanas in a similar print I found on sale.

I'm dealing with my Gramma's OLD costume jewelry. She had such gorgeous stuff. I will be listing these bracelets earrings and a few necklaces in my ETSY shop. 

I'm sure someone who is a collector will snag those gorgeous amber earrings and a matching necklace. The quality swarkovski and pearl expandable, never go out of 

style and the old ones don't pinch like the imported stuff on the market now.

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

I did snatch this gravy boat tray, in silver-plate. This is a heavy piece, with nice lines and details.

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

Perfect desk, bathroom, or vanity tray--not too big. Simple REDO.

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

It's in pretty good condition, I may give it a light polish and buff.

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

More of Gramma's stash---I'm keeping the white beads, they are a rope, very long with a catch,

 so versatile. I remember my mom and gramma swapping these back and forth.

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

I still haven't totally cornered the picnic basket market yet. (I think I have 10 or more.) Honestly they are so useful and I go for the ones with flat tops for stacking.

 This a more recent style, probably from country style in the 1990's. 

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

Clean as a whistle inside and out---this one will go to the craft room, or under the Barbie House.

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

Why are English graphics so lovely compared to 

American, cough-(Made in China, ha!) tin/metal pieces?

I snagged this tray for $5.99 and would have paid more. 

 I love the paint-like print and it's huge.

 I'm sure it will eventually end up on the porch wall. 

Right now it is on my buffet adding a Spring vibe to my nonexistent spring.

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

Pansies were my great grandmother's favorites and I confess one of mine also.

Unlike many floral pieces the flowers are all from the same season. 

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

The tray has wear, and is only from 1993---made by Ian Logan-painting by Lucy Neil. I think I will search for a few more pieces of this---I hope they made several different shapes. 

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

Now isn't that perfect for spring, speckled eggs----!

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

Almost forgot this OLD Japanese Moriage cup and saucer---probably from the late 1950's-early 60's. Marked Made in Japan. And the little doily for $.25- this one is really OLD, you can feel the rayon mixed with linen thread. 

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

More delicate than some Moriage pieces which can be gaudy with heavy blue and gold. A steal at $.99 and no chips, dings, or cracks. 

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

This is just the right amount for me---blue enough to work with my blue and white, 

and spring enough for a seasonal tea setting. 

Happy Spring...as blogger glares at 10" of drippy snow outside. 

It melts only to succeed in making icicles.

http://oldnewgreenredoblog.blogspot.com

Not bad for the first weeks of March. Grins! Grand total about $30.00 for all my goodies. 

Thanks always for visiting. 

I will try and respond to every comment and answer every question.

Junkin' Finds May 2016

Since our house is slowly being put back together from the new floors and the continued plans to move on to the kitchen, I have been only junkin' here and there. 

Here is a sampling of what I found in May 2016.

oldnewgreenredo

My steal of the month, 4 gorgeous plates I originally bought to resell because they were perfect. Set of 4 for $5.99. When I got them home they are two shades darker than the bedroom walls...so they are a keeper at this point.

oldnewgreenredo

I totally loved all the raised white pattern on these "Rhapsody" luncheon plates by George Jones & Sons, England. The mark on the back suggests these pieces were made sometime in-between 1891-1921. The mark, which is in black, includes "England" not "Made in England" which was a requirement in 1921. They were made in plain white, black background, yellow, and green. I really couldn't find any made in blue???

oldnewgreenredo

Lovely ironstone transfer ware pitcher. Medium size about 8-9" in the Aesthetic  style popular at the turn of the the 19th century.

oldnewgreenredo

There were at least three USA "Ironstone" makers using this Royal Ironstone china and Warranted marking. One was the Weheeling Pottery of West Virginia circa 1880-1886, while another was Steubenville in Ohio, around 1900 and another the East End Pottery co in East Liverpool, Ohio using the mark from 1894 to 1907. These bedroom wares were mass produced and sold through catalogs also.

oldnewgreenredo

Cache pot with lid, tiniest ding on the inside of the rim...but a lovely piece, no mark, but very close to the same style as the pitcher. I paid less than $5 for each piece. There was a sale at the thrift store that day.

oldnewgreenredo

Porcelain dish with 'moriage' applied decoration marked Japan--stylistically would figure this for the 1930-40s but post 1921 from the 'Japan' mark. This piece has design elements of Nippon but should not be confused with that. I paid a pittance for this piece in a thrift store.

oldnewgreenredo

oldnewgreenredo

This is an unusually shaped porcelain plate...with some gold application over the brown tone transfer design with gilding. The mark is half missing and is unclear...a little sleuthing and this is Victoria pattern probably by Hanley circa 1890-1900. Just was a very pretty dish I paid 99 cents for, will keep maybe.

oldnewgreenredo

Part of the mark is missing, the pattern is Victoria and England

oldnewgreenredo

 A bag of game pieces for 25 cents, a soap dish, marked Germany in starburst oval, and one of my favorites, a bowl with a chip---Indian Tree---which I will use for mosaics.

Funky chrome tray---going to be used for a bird feeder, 99cents on top of a rattan storage/picnic basket, I plan to use in the craft room for $3.99.

oldnewgreenredo

This is a magazine rack for on the wall, elaborately cutout and engraved wood and the original finish. Probably circa 1880-90. I think it will look adorable painted and used for towels. This piece was $6.00

oldnewgreenredo

More storage pieces---I'm planning a redo of the craft room (hellhole) in the basement and have been collecting vintage storage anything to utilize. Basket was $6.00 and in primo condition, tins are always under $1.00.

oldnewgreenredo

Grandma's pretend stash continues to grow---a cute purse for the grand with a bamboo handle, 99cents. She loves purses and is getting quite a collection at Grandma's house for dress-up. The little bird dish I have had for awhile, has a ding in it, but the Grand thinks it's special.

oldnewgreenredo

Can't help but pick up vintage Barbie anything in good condition. The grand used this to pack up Grandmas' Barbie and Ken for a trip to see Great-grandma in Wisconsin. It worked like a charm and the new picture on the front was  a hit.

oldnewgreenredo

Circa 2002 Barbie case...inside needed nothing to be functional, held three dolls and their entire weekends wardrobe. Perfect for a 4 hour car ride.

oldnewgreenredo

Not my style---but in such good condition I couldn't pass it up---a master jewelry box circa 1950-60's for $5.00 with some jewelry in it. I see a redo in it's future---and will probably use this for storage and for a show---if I every do one again.

oldnewgreenredo

I know this isn't vintage...but the hysterical photo on both sides is a STITCH, fully dressed/suits English sunbathers from the 1940-50's. And it is such a great purse with leather handles,  its labeled inside and out Anya Hindmarch, London. I paid $3.00, similar bags on secondary markets are listed for $150-$450 dollars...who knew? Apparently Anya is hot stuff in the 'Label' market. I may have to consider a resell on this item.

oldnewgreenredo

Two sweet pins, the enameled bird $4.00 and the black white cloisonné at $1.00

oldnewgreenredo

On the right I picked up two lengths of unused rayon/barkcloth lightweight in this charming Oriental print on a natural background. I can't help but think of Anna and the King of Siam first a book, play and then the musical, King and I.  The two pieces are perfect---$3.00 each.

oldnewgreenredo

The lace piece is the finest of linen with such beautiful work done in open cutouts. This is a squared piece perfect for a tea table. It will have to be ironed, but I think I can find my board. $2.00.

I really love the corners.

oldnewgreenredo

And last 5 assorted larger than placemat sized crocheted pieces, in the rayon silky thread---in ivory, white and ecru. These were all perfect and unstained, an $.25 cents each.

So tucked away for projects-- these are my finds for May---Happy hunting! And as always, I appreciate your comments and questions.
