Shopping for Vintage Finds for the Home

by Jamie

I love shopping for a mix of new and old items for my home. On a recent shopping trip, I came home with a lot of unique items that I love and will add some charm to my decorating. Be sure to click through to my blog for more pictures and finds.

I love white pottery and Ironstone. At one of my favorite shops, I picked up this beautiful ironstone teapot with a wheat design. The tag (which I didn't bother reading until I got it home) says that it is from around 1859. It has a crack down one side and the top of the lid had been broken off and reattached. But seriously, after 150 years, don't we all show a little wear?

At Goodwill, I snatched up this silver spaghetti fork. I've never seen anything like this before. I'm still wondering how many fancy dinner parties would serve spaghetti and need a fancy fork made of silver, but obviously some do. The handle is just beautiful.

I'm a little (overly) obsessed with boxwood right now, and was actually on the hunt for some preserved boxwood. I found some different sized topiaries at Pier One and couldn't make up my mind which size I wanted....so I bought both. The pots have just the perfect look for these topiaries, don't you agree?

I also bought this metal scoop. Metal that has a lot of age and patina always catches my eye. And I'm in love with the look of the nails so evenly spaced around the handle.
