So I went out car booting, picking list in hand and found some really cool bits. No luck with the enamel items, and the only vintage milk bottles I found were plain and I really wanted ones with advertising. But I did get some fab vintage bits.
Firstly I’ve been looking for some old toys for the dresser in the play room to add a vintage touch to a room filled with modern toys.
I got this tin 1950s cash register for £3.50 it’s a little beaten up but with some tlc and a lot of cleaning I think it will come up nicely…
We also got this Triang tin train for £10 again it needs work but will look great on the dresser…
I got this oil can for a bargain £2 which I’m going to put in the garden…
I got this frame for £3.50 I love it gold but it won’t go well in my house so I’m going to paint it cream I think…
And we also got got this cute wooden cigarette box for our sideboard which I’m going to keep keys in…
I got this little sign because it made me laugh that might go in the downstairs toilet, not sure yet…
I’ll update soon when they’re clean and in their new home.

Happy Blogiversary to me!!! | vintagefrills
