The two lower steps fold up into it. I will probably just seal it so it doesn't rust anymore and then use it for display. Not sure if it will go inside or out. Most likely inside for a bit.
Then I headed to some thrift stores and came across these taller milk glass vases. I didn't have any this tall so I was happy to find two. I can not for the life of me photograph them well. Anyone have and tips please pass them along.
Just when I was checking out I spied the picnic basket. Still had the yellow dishes and the removable shelf inside. It will look great stacked with my others.
So what has everyone found lately?

Love the little step stool. I came across one like that last week, only it was robin's egg blue. I didn't buy it and now I'm mad at myself.

I like the stool and the picnic basket. I love a good picnic, although it's been forever since I've been on one.

I love the picnic basket!
ReplyDeleteHi Anita,
ReplyDeleteThat stool is so cool! It would make a really neat plant stand. I love milk glass, too, and know what you mean about it being hard to photograph. Have you tried the "macro" feature? On my camera, it is a little flower icon. And your picnic basket is a fun find, too! You'll enjoy using it, I'm sure!
I too am in love with that stool! So cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and your cute comment .. yes we all tend to call the Gulls "Sea Rats"...lol
ReplyDeleteI just love the milk glass you found!

Cute finds! Love the step stool/seat. Been looking for a good painted one like the one my grandma had that I used as a high chair. I am always finding rusty ones,, I didn't realize you could just spray with lacquer or something and seal the rust, Might try that. I am weird about the crusty germs left over .
ReplyDeleteI got a picnic basket with those same dishes at a garage sale for $5. My dishes are avocado green and yellow - too fun!
ReplyDeleteI have a red step stool. It provides instant charm wherever I put it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I love the step stool. So cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm hosting a giveaway on my blog and I'd love it if you stopped by.

Love the stool and the basket. Never met a picnic basket that I didn't love. Great finds! Since my flood, I haven't been out hunting. :( Hopefully, I'll get a chance to get out before the end of the summer.
ReplyDeleteLove that picnic basket! I've been looking for one like that to store a mismatched tea set for my kids.
ReplyDeleteYou milk glass is lovely....I have a few pieces myself, but would love to find more. I have my garage salen party going on now...starts every Friday, would love to have ya! Debbiedoos
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Anita....I hope you enjoy the party...there are so many great finds and I have great participants that you will love to get to know. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWow! That stool is amazing. The paint on it is very cool, don't think I would paint over it either. Just something to seal the "patina" in is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteI would add more yellow paint to that stool, and then rough it up a little to make it look like it belonged there. And don't fret - white objects are notoriously harder to photograph.
