Earlier, we’d grumbled about the apparent lack of interesting items at thrift stores. They just seemed bereft of anything worth picking up.

Well, it’s as if the thrift deities heard our complaining, because the last few forays into thriftland have been extremely fruitful. We now have a backlog of several yummy “thrift-run” pictures to put up, but we’ll start with this one.

This thrifting run produced a combination of wonderful goodies plus some interesting unknown items. Starting off in the back row, that’s a Dansk plastic petal tray designed by Gunnar Cyren but in an interesting clear purple color.

To the left of it is another Dansk item, but this one is a bit mysterious. We’re certain the top and bottom wooden coasters are Dansk from Denmark, but we’re uncertain if the glass vase is from Dansk as well, or if it was just packaged like this at the thrift store. The coasters do fit, but seem a little loose – to date, we haven’t been able to find another item like this online. We’d appreciate it if anyone has any ideas…

In the front, starting on the left is a new-ish Kosta Boda Swedish “Snowball” glass candleholder. This one actually came with the original box and was originally sold from… Macy’s! We’ve found another one of these recently, so we will be offering up the pair in the store very soon.

Next to the snowball is a nice yellow Descoware enamel “Special” skillet. We’ve earlier sold red and blue versions of this skillet, and while this yellow one has significant crazing, we don’t expect it to last too long in our inventory.

The little giraffe next to the skillet is another Dansk silverplate animal paperweight – we love these animals, but this is only the second one we’ve come across after the earlier Elephant we found. They tend to get scooped up rather quickly at thrift stores.

In back of the giraffe is an interesting red enamel bowl that we originally thought might be a Finel item. However, the bottom of this bowl is actually that dark gray that we’ve seen on modern Dansk items. Completely unmarked on bottom, but we believe it to be a vintage item – more photos on this bowl to come later.

Lastly, we have a small vase that was originally an “Unknown” when we picked it up. But we did our research and found out it’s actually a piece of Dutch pottery from a company called De Delftse Pauw. This pottery was actually established circa 1650! But our little vase is likely a modern piece from the 1960s-70s.

OK, we have a ton of other thrift photos to put up still – and we’ll try to get these items up into the store or the Etsy outlet as soon as possible. Remember that we also have our Fall Colors sale still running for a couple more weeks.
