Thrifted Finds # 14 :: Penn Dutch Goodness


A few of my favorite finds from the past week.  A little bamboo cup, a Penn Dutch candelabra, a sweet little ceramic egg cup, a promotional Blue Lace Medallion Pyrex covered casserole dish & a piece of pottery from 1975, the second I've found from the Fred Roberts Lancaster County collection.  I absolutely love this pattern, though it's very rare to come across pieces.  I had a dinner plate last year & it sold rather quickly in the shop & I had quite a struggle with myself to let go of it.

This piece is a large canister, it originally had a lid, but I was happy just finding the base.  It would make a lovely planter or utensil holder in the kitchen.  Everything about this pattern is perfect!  I'm sure it will make some collector very happy once it's listed for sale.


I thrifted this a little while ago, but always seem to forget to take pictures of the things that I hang on the walls for safekeeping.  The look on the little girl's face really creeps Chucky out, but I bought it anyway because of her brilliant eyelashes & that cute little kitten.  It is a very large paint by number piece that I bought to resell but never got around to doing so because I just don't know how to ship something this size.

I'll get around to it sooner or later, but for now I'll continue moving it from room to room when Chucky's at work & then pretending I have no idea what he's talking about when he discovers it hanging above the toilet or in the back of the closet behind his hoodies.


A little thrifted vignette of my favorite owl bookends (a thrifty gift from my Megs), a stack of thrifted antique books & my red Woodstock mini accordion.


This is a rather large piece (18"x24") as well & I love the detail.  I found it at a rummage sale at our local Moose Lodge, those lodges always have the best stuff for sale!  It reminds me of my Grammaw's herb garden which was mostly medicinal with a culinary section.  I adore the crewel work in the center, it's been cut off so that it's fuzzy & looks like shrubbery.  So sweet.

    1. That candelabra is the one thing I wanted out of the online pictures from an Estate sale last weekend. Imagine my surprise when we showed up LATE on Sunday to find it still there! & for only 75 cents, too. That never happens for me, usually it's all old magazines & advertising mugs left that late on a Sunday.

  10. Haha. Poor Chucky. I bet his reaction is fantastic. I saw your town on your etsy shop, and I have to say I LOVE thrifting and antiquing there! It's not too far away from where I live, and my mom and I love running away there.
