Continuing with documenting our recent thrift finds, we’ve come across a number of pretty cool plastic items lately.

One of our favorite finds was this small cache of Heller sky blue plastic bowls and mugs. Often overlooked by thrifters, these Heller items were actually designed by Massimo Vignelli and are very popular with the midcentury/retro crowd for their minimalist design and bright solid colors.

This Dansk green plastic “clover” tray is another favorite item of ours to pick up at thrift stores. Most people don’t realize this was designed by Gunnar Cyren – they’re fairly collectible and came in several different bright colors as well as clear plastic.

That little plastic timer in the front is by Mark Time. Yes, I know, they really had to think hard to come up with that name. =) I think we might be hanging on to this timer for now – it has a really pleasing bell sound that’s less harsh than the usual vintage timers we’ve had.

Lastly, we found this super cool a href=”http://www.etsy.com/listing/63464891/retro-emsa-orange-floral-watering-can”>yellow plastic watering can by Emsa. This is actually a German company that’s still around today, but the watering can is probably from the 70s. We just couldn’t resist the mod retro flower look.

OK, we’ve got a few more “goodies” posts that we need to work on – stay tuned!
