Vintage Kitchen Treasures

We had originally planned to spend the weekend painting the bedroom but I started going through "estate sale withdrawls" so plans were changed to allow for a morning of treasure hunting. So here I sit, posting to my blog while Dear Handyman (my wonderful boyfriend) is painting the bedroom. Did I mention that he is a sweetie?

{Just to clarify so that you don't think I'm horrible to leave Dear Handyman working while I went off playing: he came with me to the estate sales. Afterwards he painted while I posted. And after I posted, I painted as well.}

So today's hunting was filled with a lot of vintage, metal kitchen treasures. My favorite find is this metal sifter with red tulips.

On second thought, my favorite find is this pair of Catherine Holm enamel bowls. We found these sitting on a top shelf, overlooked by everyone on the second day of a sale.

I also found this yellow, metal kitchen container.

And this Cake tin.

Remember the Fuller Brush man? What a strange concept today to think of someone going door-to-door selling brushes. I found this dust pan and brush that is marked Fuller Brush. The brush appears to be boar bristle.

I also found another metal dust pan (that needs some serious cleaning). I thought the cheery red pattern probably made sweeping chores a little nicer.

I guess I better go check on how the bedroom painting is going. Knowing my Dear Handyman, he probably has it completely painted and put up the new wall covering as well.
