    I hope a recipe is okay. I have been enjoying the rosemary from my garden.

    My views on polishing the silver…hmmm, I think either way is fine. I tend to polish, and then let it go. I know, I am not help at all. 🙂

    That silver piece looks like a Baby’s loving cup. I would leave it tarnished – love that look. Thanks for featuring my Roosevelt Hotel Scotch bottles. They are like the mini-bottles of long ago! I think link #1 takes the prize this week – the covered bowl is fantastic.

    Do not clean that stuuuuunning piece of silver. Put it on your kitchen counter and fill it with pale pink roses. This is my favourite Junkin Joe piece ever !!!!!!
    You have just reached legend status Mr Joe.
    Big hugs to my beautiful friend Andrea xoxo

    I have picked up a few more treasures this week, but oh my, the days are blurring by. I haven’t even photographed them yet! And… I did find a shade for Murano! It’s just plain with lots of potential to take it wherever I want to go! For now I’m just soaking it in and happy to be using the lamp 🙂

    I love the silver piece! Just stunning. Normally, I am all about polishing metals, but in this case I think the patina is just absolutely perfect!!!! Thanks for the feature and for hosting! xoxo ~Heather @ Tatter and Fray

Junkin Joe Vintage & Thrifty Finds…Features and LINKY PARTY All WELCOME

TGIF to everyone!  Friday also means it is time for
Junkin Joe…

come on in and join the fun…we have fun finds…tons of features…and then it’s time to party…

let’s start with JJ’s finds this week!
 Budget:  $10.00
 Spent:  $9.97
I have to say it is fun giving him a budget and it also leads to some interesting things…he knows that I have “vignettes” in mind so he focused in that direction this week…
 obvious why he picked this little long dog…

 he’s a cutie…

 he doesn’t even need to be fed!  Another doxie is always welcome in our house so he can


lounge around like the others!
Now this little guy made me smile too…I LOVE the wonderful world of Beatrix Potter so when I saw…


these little stripped legs…


cute little eyes…


contemplating life and having another cream cracker…he is also numbered and an actual official Beatrix Potter collectible…number 739 out of 1000!  Cool find…maybe Peter will follow?




JJ thought that this would be a nice additive to a vintage vignette and I so agree…


worn down and ready to tell a million stories…


filled with what appears to be copper dust…not too sure what it is but it is very interesting and will be fun to use at some point soon!




It’s funny…this is the third one that JJ has brought home…



he just couldn’t pass this vintage beauty up!  Even though he has never had a martini in his life…but may be this time


he will try one…shaken not stirred!


Diverse lot right!

Now it is time to check out some features from last weeks party! So excited…the party grew last week… we went from 19 to 34…woooooohooooooooooo!   : )  It is a very niche party but we hope it keeps growing!

    You are so sweet for featuring me! I absolutely love this party! I’ve been looking forward to it all week AND it has inspired me to chronicle some of my personal collection on my blog every Friday (pretty much just so I can have a fun link up here.) Have a great weekend my dear!

    I came. I saw. I lusted. I know the last is a sin – to be envious of other people’s great vintage finds, but I cannot help it. Second week here and I am loving it more. Thanks for the feature. I love the quirkiness of this party. A huge thank you for hosting.

    Wee! This is a fun party, and gives me a reason to have my daughter drag me to the Goodwill! Ha ha! I might have something next week, but will enjoy visiting all through the week! Love the little doxie, and thanks for putting my Doll crib up!
    Blessings,
    Susie

    Andrea, thank you so much for the feature! I’ve been away and am just catching up now… And yes, I got to do a little thrifting while I was gone 🙂 So much fun to check out new places for old treasures! And what’s so much fun – I stayed with my Aunt who read the post about the mystery tin, and she sent me home with a handful of tins that belonged to mt Great Uncle! So excited to learn more about them… Does this make me a tin collector now? 😉
