Fridays at 5:00: Red, White, and ‘New’

I am excited to share with you these 5 vintage ‘new to me’ pieces that are perfect for decorating in the summer months ahead! These 5 beauties are all things that I have picked up over this last year … so that means that this will be their first time on display in my home! Let me show you what I got!

Cake Carrier

I found this amazing vintage cake carrier at the little antique store that I have a booth in – and I am smitten with it! At $40.00 it was an ‘investment’ for me but I love the vibrant patriotic colors and I am drawn to the fact that it is a large piece.

Old Streamers

This roll of old streamers was actually a gift from a friend. He snagged it at an estate sale for only one dollar! I love the weathered look. The roll will look great on any shelf and can be used as a riser to raise a piece ‘up’ if needed.

Pepsi Sign

I got this old Pepsi piece at a local auction and I only paid $15.00 for it. It was so cheap because the bottom has been ‘cut’ (and it is uneven) but that didn’t bother me. I plan to use it on a shelf as a ‘backdrop’ and I will stage other pieces around it. I felt this little piece would add in the perfect amount of color in any ‘display.’

Ham Radio Post Cards

I snagged these old ham radio post cards at Scott Antiques Show a few months back. They were only one dollar a piece and at that price I decided to grab a few! I will stick this in a flower frog or lean it up against another piece for a splash of color this season!

Old Lunch Box

I got this lunch box at a show that I did back in October. (You can see more from that show here.) I actually bought it as all of the dealers were packing up and when I walked past it I spotted it immediately. I just knew that I needed it for my Patriotic displays. This old lunch box only cost me $18.00 and this piece has already found a home on top of my little cabinet with my glass jars! It’s the perfect little pop of red, white, and ‘NEW.’
