This weekend, while out and about...
I picked up a few vintage finds.
First, a classic white ironstone pitcher.
This sweet cup says Forget me not...
These 3 vintage soap boxes were full of odds and ends
and sitting on a table at the community center flea market.
I told the seller that I wasn't interested in the contents...
...just the pretty boxes.
She simply dumped the contents out on her table and said
...here, you can have the boxes!
...and this...
simply too dear to pass up for 75 cents...
I love these old brass label holders...
which must have come off of a file cabinet...
...perhaps an old card catalog...
...there are at least a dozen.
Believe it or not...
I found this old pocket watch at Goodwill.
A great old suitcase...
...with a vintage travel sticker from Colonial Airlines
a Canadian airlines in the 40's and 50's...
and an old Syracuse University sticker
on the outside...
...and a nice clean, preppie looking inside...
Two pretty wooden, gilt angel panels ...
My favorite find...
...an old bridal piece with wonderful wax flowers.
There were a few other goodies too...
...those photos will have to wait until another time!
Since I have a white ironstone pitcher at the start and am ending with a white bridal wreath..
.I will link to Kathleen at Faded Charm for White Wednesday!
Check out the other participants!

Love those soap boxes.
Well, good grief...these are ALL fabulous. What a time you must have had, finding all these goodies. I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite....t'would have to be the ironstone pitcher and those cool label holders. Can't wait to see what fabulousness you come up with, using those !!

Love the pitcher and the soap boxes - girl, you made out like a bandit! :-)
oh love that suitcase, I have an old footlocker with dartmouth stickers, they tell me it was from the early 40's. Great finds!

Incredible finds! The Elgin watch is a keeper! It's most likely silver and that company is still making watches today, they've been around though since the 1800's. I would have that one apraised.
Great finds! Love the pocket watch, ironstone pitcher, and suitcase! You are a rock star picker! LOL! and don't you love it when they say " you can HAVE IT!!! "

Great finds.As a Syracuse alumni I can only say that my inner child is screaming with jealousy over your suitcase find (so VERY unlikely to come across one of those in Ohio).Simply awesome.Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness Laura
so many wonderful wonderful finds.. the pocket watch the suitcases.. but it is the Violet Soap Box.. I absolutely love.. I had one exactly the same as a child... you just sent my memory into flip flops.. I suspect it belonged to my mother or grandmother but who knows what happened to it... probably a different brand.. but the same violet artwork... Just beautiful!!!...
I'm off now to check out your last post which i've been trying to get over to .. the sunrise.. ciao ..xxx Julie
Love that watch! Really like the boxes, but what was in the boxes that she dumped out? :D
Oh, I love that pocket watch. Great finds in your neck of the woods. Do you ever go to the Elephant trunk? Hugs, Liz
...Wow the Jug!..and the Bridal Wreath...melt my heart...so sweet!

What a wonderful WW post and pics! I can't decide which goodie is my fave... but the bridal wreath (gasp!) and the sweet mother and baby are at the very top! You certainly have an eye for the good stuff! Thank you sooo much for visiting my blog & for your sweet comment.

I have that exact Madonna and child picture and frame hanging in our bathroom! It's beautiful. I'm telling you Laura, you pick up the best stuff! I really love the brass label/pulls!
What lovely finds. This weekend there are a couple of fleamarkets in the neighbourhoood. I hope I will find some treasures too
You must hit a much better Good Will then we have here. Except for the clothes it's pretty junky stuff and way overpriced.
Love the bridal piece.....just lovely!

What GREAT finds ... love the label holders!
Dear Laura,
You always find the BEST things. I think that you have an extra something in your brain that sniffs out these precious things !! I, like Julie, remember those soap boxes from my childhood, although I hate to admit it !!!! haha. Makes me feel really old !!
Oh, and, I forgot to credit the photo that is yours, in my Blue post. I am going to rectify that straight away. Sorry !! XXXX
Looks like you scored with your new treasures. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for visiting my site on White Wednesday and leaving a nice comment about my photography. Those vintage soap boxes that you found are lovely!
you always find the nicest things.
Can't believe the watch was from Goodwill!
I have never found anything old there, just lots and lots of clothing.
XOXO, Evi
LOVE that pocket watch! What a find. Every thing you found is great, I've been looking for an ironstone pitcher just like that after I let 2 slip away!
Happy WW!

OMG My chest hurts I am sooo excited about seeing all those treasures. My friend would want that violet box so bad. she has all violets in a guest bedroom. You hit the jack pot, mother load what ever you want to call it. Also That old pocket watch is a jewel. I would be a happy owner of any of those items.
