While out and about a few weeks ago, I found these adorable little metal canisters with the bees on them. There were only two, but too cute to pass up. They remind me of the 1970's. They were a great price on half price day at an estate sale for $3.00 for the set.


Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday!!

Vintage Thingie Thursday: A Wienerful Gift!

Welcome everyone to Vintage Thingies Thursday. If you have a love for vintage things, well....you have come to the right place. We have a really good time each and every week!!!

About a week or so ago, my very sweet friend Patti left a package for me on my front porch. I was not home at the time she stopped by, but I certainly had a sweet find when I returned home.

My friend had gone to an estate sale and found this adorable vintage dachshund salt and pepper set. Is this not the sweetest?? It really brought a smile to my heart!


I love how this looks like my Sophie.....I have seen these before online and they are always going for more than what I want to pay with shipping.....these will have a very good home.


One of the neat things is these still had the original cork stoppers. I so often find cute salt and pepper shakers but the stoppers are missing.

Here is the mark on the bottom...made in Japan, I don't recall the symbol above the letters, maybe someone out there is familiar with that.

And....if you are a doxie fanatic like myself, you might enjoy this video of this couple's dachshund item(s) collection. there are many vintage pieces there, and things from all over the world that I may never find myself....it was informative and very neat to see.

I did manage to spot a couple of things that I do have in my own collection....made me feel a bit better!!! If you want to view it, just click the video!!



Thanks for all the emails about my Tuesday post and your concern for me....I really am fine.....just adjusting to many changes that I really did not care to make or really do not want to adjust to or with.....guess you could say it is a good dose of reality and life......this too shall pass......it just will take a bit of time.

Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday!!
