Thrift Haul: A Vintage Kitchen, Mod Housewares Will Charm Your Pants Off

I just can't quit pretty vintage plates and housewares, they suck me in at the thrifts and they're so fun to photograph and stage. All of the scores in this post have a lot of personality and beauty. Check 'em out:

I wrote about leaving this piece behind in early February and Hunting Tigress kindly pointed out that it was a valuable mod set and even listed the value of the pieces for me! I loved the look of it regardless so I knew if it was still where I left I'd buy it next time I saw it.

Midwinter Ltd (England), Moon Pattern, Stonehenge Line, 1973, Rare Collectible Dining Set is on Etsy. I love using it for tea, soups, food photography..it's just a gorgeous set.

The groovy 1970s typography on this pair won me over. I thought it would be fun to sell it as a set.

The napkin holder would be fun to host notepads or scraps of paper for writing quick ideas. I have it listed over on Etsy

This beautiful Royal Haegar vase was a donation from BF's mom, she found it at a yard sale. I love the piece, lovely shape and texture!

It's chilling with me at the house until it sells on Etsy. Inspiring me with it's atomic era beauty.

I believe this kitschy collection of plates slipped under the radar. I love the welcoming messages they evoke, they make a kitchen or any room in your home feel cozy.

Until they sell on Etsy they're one of the first things you'll see when you enter my apartment. I especially love that first one depicting all the creature comforts: a smoke, a black coffee, a cozy bed and an earthy den with a big fireplace. That's what keeps bringing me back to vintage housewares, especially small ones for the kitchen and home, that sense of homeyness one piece can instantly provide.

So tell me, what did you score at the thrifts? If you like any piece you see, e-mail me, it's all for sale!
