Weekend Finds

Went to a bunch of sales again this weekend.

I picked up a couple of apparel design text books from the 60's. I love the pink and red colors.

Found this great condiment caddy base. It's very worn - lots of wear and tear.
But, it's from West Hotel in Minneapolis, a hotel that was built in 1884, and at the time considered the most luxurious hotel west of Chicago.
I plan to find some glasses that fit and use it to hold flowers.

This was probably a towel rack and soap dish. I thought it would be nice to hold old photographs or mail, with a little trinket dish.

Tiny silver owl salt cellar.

This is a lovely little silver tray, perfect size for holding flatware, which is good...
since I also found a handful of great silverplate pieces - including some mini sugar tongs.

This is the tray and the sugar tongs already hard at work with some grape tomatoes.
