I haven't been doing a lot of thrift store shopping. I'm trying not to buy too many more small items. I always have my eyes peeled for furniture. But I came across this cute little creamer and sugar. There was also a coffee pot but the lid was broken so I left it behind.
Then I came across these old bottles. Two are old whiskey pints with old metal caps. The brown one has some pretty embossing on it. I'm not sure what the other was for but I liked the shape of it. The brown one still needs to be cleaned.
Both of the whiskey pints have a warning on it. It says: federal law forbids sale or reuse of this bottle. I am living on the edge people.

see you later,
Awesome finds! I love that glass lamp behind the bottles!!
ReplyDeleteooh...what fabulous finds!!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying not to buy a lot of small stuff, too. With varying degrees of success.
ReplyDeleteI think the silver will sell fast. I like the tarnish on them. It announces that they're old.
You are living on the edge....that really made me laugh. Great finds! I like the tarnished look of the silver. If someone wants them shiny they can always polish them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Jane
Love the details on the silver, I vote leave them tarnished. Very cool old bottles.
ReplyDeleteGo on with yourself, livin' on the edge like that. :)
I like all of your finds and your silver. I am purging today...getting rid of stuff in my junk closet. I just kept shoving stuff on the shelfs. I still need to do some filing, but it is better for now. Your photos look great btw.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty silver pieces....love the whiskey bottles too! Great finds :o)

Anita, love that little creamer and sugar bowl. I don't know if you should leave them tarnished for selling. Probably should be shiny. Great bottles, too.
ReplyDeleteThe warning printed right on the bottle and yet... they sold it to you anyway! I am new to your blog and really enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSo funny, Anita! You sure like living life dangerously! I love your sugar and creamer! I would keep the patina, I think people (myself included) really love it!! Great finds:)
ReplyDeleteLiving on the edge is right! If you show up on a wanted poster, at least we'll know why! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, You are living on the edge. I bet you even tear the labels off of your mattress! Your new sugar and creamer are wonderful. I like to use vintage items for flowers too. I love your lamp in the picture.
ReplyDeletexo, Sherry
I love the bottles. The lamp behind them looks cool too. I had a clear vase lamp that just recently broke. :•(
ReplyDeleteHey law breaker, I mean...Anita. Love the silver, I vote for tarnished. Great bottles too.
ReplyDeleteAnita.. I love your silver..but your glass bottles are to die for!
ReplyDeleteI love tarnished silver. My mom thinks it should always be shined up all fancy looking. Not me...tarnished is a pretty thing.
ReplyDeleteGood for you with your finds!
You crazy! That's what you are!
ReplyDeleteIf you set up an Etsy shop, I will come. Seriously. You'll have to tell me what to do with the stuff I buy, but I will be there, I promise you that.
Love the creamer and sugar little pots.
You're too much! I love the amber color of old bottles. They are a pain to clean though. The sugar and creamer look best tarnished...that's just me. I like things that look distressed, time worn, etc.. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteHave a super Monday, Anita!
Great finds Anita. I love old bottles and let a few go a while back that I still think about.

Funny. I have that same sugar/creamer set, and the tea pot with an intact lid, LOL! I got mine at a yard sale for a few dollars. I like the tarnished look, personally.
ReplyDelete(Probably because I have polishing silver!)
I love old bottles, too, but don't have any...boo.
I am gonna report you to the Whiskey Drinkers' Association.............hiccup!
~me
I think I meant to say: I haTe polishing silver.
ReplyDeleteAt least I think that's what I meant......hiccup!
LIVING ON THE EDGE is your middle name, Anita!!
ReplyDeleteAnita,
ReplyDeleteThink I would give them a little bath...love the single bloom!!!
Blessings,
Linda
Hi girl! your finds are great! LOVE the bottles!
ReplyDeleteI like the patina on the silver dishes...gives them character.
Enjoy your evening.

You found some lovely treaures Anita, I love the tarnished look of the sugar bowl and creamer and I think they look fabulous with flowers in them. xx
ReplyDeleteI love the tarnished look and this from the gal that thinks every single thing should be spit shined!
ReplyDeleteI love your finds...you and I are on the same wave length this week!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! I tend to love the tarnish..I never polish my silver finds (is that bad?) The whiskey bottles are awesome.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finds. I say leave the silver tarnished and whoever buys it will have the option of polishing it or leaving it.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jami
You've got a point there about not looking for small stuff....I need to remember that. However, silver is always a good thing - tarnished or not - it's timeless. Linda
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I love silver that is tanished.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and saying the nice things about my powder room redo.
