Does this just scream 1950’s. With the vinyl covering, it reminds me of things my parents had in our house when I was little. This weekend I was able to hit several garage sales and one estate sale. The estate sale was a gold mine. When I saw this, I knew I had to buy it. What is it? Here it is.
It is a sewing stool. It is in excellent condition. Not a tear, rip or stain. It even opens for sewing storage. I really wanted to keep it, but I am sure someone else will love it, so I have consigned it.
Can you just see a housewife of the 50’s using it to sew clothes for her children? I am sure this stool would have stories to tell.
Here are a few more items I found.
This side table is amazing. I love the scalloped lids on the lower half. This piece I am going to redo. Probably paint it, but not sure what color yet. But I love the lines.
This is a vintage Plan-a-Kitchen set. It has a leather case and straps. I wonder if it was a professional that used it or a man who just wanted to design a great kitchen for his wife. I intentionally said man, because I doubt that to many women were designing kitchens when the kit was new although there must have been a few. I have consigned this because I know there is someone out there that had a parent who used it.
This vintage tin is so cute. If my boys were little I think it would be a great decoration or storage container in their room. But they are no longer little, so I did consign this one as well.
This fish cage is different. I don’t think it is that old, but I think it would be fun to take the blue cover off and use it as a hanging in the house filled with Duplos or stuffed animals.
This aluminum coffee pot was probably my favorite find. It is Walker Ware. I hadn’t heard of that brand before. It definitely was used over an open fire. I am keeping this one to display in my house.
So that is just a few of my finds. Do any of these items bring back memories?

I adore that little tin and the sweet design.
Adore the sewing stool. Great finds.
That sewing stool is JUST like the one my mom had. My ex threw it out while I was out one day and it broke my heart. **sigh** Thanks for linking up to The Penny Worthy Project-I’m completely in love with your blog
