Estate Sale Treasures: Friday's Find #260


Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! In addition to my usual thrifting haunts and yard sales, I've been to a few good estate sales lately, where I found this interesting piece. The seller referred to it as a vintage magazine rack. I can see it could certainly be used for that. However, when I wasn't able to find any similar ones online, I became curious. Maybe it has another use and name--if you know, please leave me a comment! Of course, you know I'm going to repurpose it anyway...

I found a pair of these gingham chair aprons at Goodwill for .99 each. I like the warm color for fall and the tiny print, too.

I've always loved the 1960s Stetson Marcrest Swiss Chalet pattern. AVAILABLE HERE!

I have an idea for these tiny wire pumpkins--stay tuned!

Last but not least, this Westbend spun aluminum covered cake plate features an acorn knob and design on the lid.

  1. If your display rack is as tall as it looks, it might be more of a quilt display rack. Those pumpkins are adorable, would make great napkin rings!

  2. How about using that magazine rack as a herb drying rack?? :-)

  4. We used to have a magazine rack like that at a library I worked at in the early 70s. The little pumpkins are placard holders for use at a table.

  5. Love your finds; never heard the term "chair apron" before; love it! I think that magazine rack would be great for vintage hankies or towels--mabe even hung upside down to use the top as a shelf! I agree that a magic eraser would work wonders on that aluminum cake plate cover! Love that acorn!

  6. The acorn on the top of the cake cover is so cute! I love the chair covers, and I once had a rack like that...and used it for magazines!
