Vintage Thrifting Finds

These are my vintage thrifting finds from the 4th of July weekend. Despite the holiday, there were still a few estate and garage sales around.
This sad little puppy is a glasses holder. He is sitting on a stack of silver monogrammed dessert plates.

Great wood cracker tray. I already have one almost identical to this one, I used it for a dinner party last fall, here. This one will go on my Etsy store.

Wine box with very pretty design and writing, and a swan ring holder. I use wine boxes as herb planters.

A couple of monogram butter knives.

And a brass napkin holder. I like to use these to holds old photos or postcards.
