Thrifty Finds: Vintage Barware
I know that I should not be out thrifting when I should be packing for our move. I know it. I do. I know it doesn’t make sense from a practical point of view. But … stay with me … what if I can’t find a really great local antique shop in Cleveland. What will I do? Did I hear someone say … save money.
My local shop knows I like paint by numbers. They called to tell me there were a few in the shop. They are nice in that way. I had to go and take a look, because what if there aren’t any paint by numbers in Cleveland. While I was there, I found a Fred Press Martini Pitcher. Fred Press is an artist who designed iconic mid-century barware among other things. He used a lot of gold in his homeware designs, and I love this turquoise and gold design. It reminds me of an owl. I also got this cute glass ice bucket … and two rose paint by numbers.
I’m really going to miss my local shop. I hope I can find one in Cleveland. I’m pretty sure I will.
Fun pieces, Mary! Sometimes when life gets overwhelming, you just have to go out junking, right? I know you’ll find a whole bunch of vintage shops to keep you busy when you’re living in a new city. 🙂
Great finds! I have not found a great shop since we have moved (@ 1 hour from our old home) but I am excited because I know a great shop is out there and I will find it! Thanks for the post.
Cleveland, Ohio???
Wow, what a change! About 4.5 years ago we did something similar. We moved from Atlanta to Phoenix. We are back in Atlanta again, and all in all it was a good experience.
I am from northeastern Ohio and I love thrifting there.
I can’t wait to hear of your new adventure. All the best to you!
Holy cow! Those are awesome! I’m sure Ohio has great shops (some of my fav’s have been in Kansas of all places!).
