Vintage Canisters

I bought these Vintage Yellow Canisters at a yard sale, all four for only $1.

At first, I didn't care for them, but then I thought they'd look so cute in pretty much any kitchen.

So..... I grabbed them! I mean a dollar? I can't beat that!

I was trying to find the history on them, but I couldn't really find anything on Chrome Queen.

I know they are for sure vintage, the women having the yard sale, said their grandmother kept everything she owned.

I like knowing that they were loved, that everything morning she would drink her tea, and he hubby would scoop out his coffee.

I just love vintage finds, don't you?

 

Below are some really nice canisters I found on Pinterest.

Do you use canisters? 

Store find Saturday

This find isn't considered 'second hand', but it is pretty good buy.

 

I'm going to share a little story...

I like going to Target, getting ideas, or just dreaming of things I wish I could buy from there.

I was in the kitchen isle looking at dishes, bowls, cups, etc. and I came across these plates that I really loved. I just couldn't see paying store price for each piece, that would be over $60.

So I walked past them, foreseeing them cheaper.

Well, a few weeks go buy, and I notice they are on clearance for $4.99 for each piece.

I thought that was cheaper, but I still couldn't see paying that.

So then again, I walked past them, foreseeing them cheaper.

So then, I went there the other day, and saw some other plates I liked, not loved, and just thought darn, I wish they had the ones I loved. I turned the corner, just happened to look down, and on the bottom shelf they had all these clearance plates behind this big box, and there were the plates I loved!

It was like they were meant for me!

The best part of this story was these plates were on clearance for $1.78 for dinner plate and $1.48 for salad plate.

That's a steal!

I believe when you really, really, really want something, it will come to you, it just takes time.
