Thrift Share Monday

For the bellyaching I did about being sick, I did venture out last week, just one day. This is what I found:

 1. NuTone Door Bell Frame, in box. 2. A set of Danish Trays. 3. Syracuse Fanfare saucers (3 !!!)

Not bad for a few hours out.  I'm not sure if I will use the door bell frame, I just grabbed it because my Grandparents' home had a similar one, and it reminded me of them. Our door bell is round and connects to a Broan Nu-Tone Chime that has, literally, 12 different chimes to pick from. Everything from Happy Birthday to Hava Negila. Why mess with perfection right?

Things I Collect Pt. 2

L to R: Vintage NOS Napkins, Franciscan Starburst, Syracuse China
I want to pose the question: is one item considered a collection? I have only found one of these Syracuse China plates in "Fanfare". But I want more. I want to collect them, alas I only have the one right now.  They don't come up on ebay very often (or if they do, it's hard to find - not too many people know the pattern name). There were some sets up last night, but I didn't bid... I'd prefer to hunt them down around here & get them as I find them. The Starburst collection isn't a serious one, they're mostly for show in the breakfront.

Also, does anyone else collect other people's photos? I will rummage through boxes of photos and pick them out based on color tint, subject, clothing, or home design. It's kind of creepy but I like to just look at them and imagine the stories of the day they were taken.



This and the photo underneath are from the same roll.    
clearly this person had A+ taste in furnishings. I like to think this roll of photos is from a new house. Everyone is happy and showing off.

So! If anyone comes across any Syracuse Fanfare, keep me in mind! :)
