Seeing Red
Here are some mostly-red finds from my lovely red-headed younger sister, Erin. When she was a little girl, she liked to pretend she was Little Orphan Annie. We didn't have the heart to tell her that she looked more like Danny Bonaduce's younger brother.
Thankfully, her eye for vintage finds is much better than her childhood hairdo.
| Item | Price |
Thayer convertible high chair (converts to child's chair & table on wheels) |
2.00 |
| Suitcase with Dutch travel stickers | 2.00 |
| Breadbox by Beautybox | 3.00 |
| Catarina rocking horse by Blazon | 15.00 |
| Mikasa green (7 pc) | 1.00 |
| Red step stool | 1.00 |
| Pelican insulated cooler | 1.00 |
| Blue carry box (tools? utensils?) | 2.00 |
| Chenille bedspread | 12.00 |
| Crocheted throw - primitive colors | 1.00 |
| Black basket | 0.5 |
| Total | 40.50 |
Not bad, huh? Check out that high chair!
And the rocking horse with the polka-dot interior...
And the suitcase with travel stickers for two bucks!
thanks for the Bonaduce reference, Colleen... you're too kind.... seems like you left out that every granny we passed in the mall as children thought you looked "just like their grandson"...hmmm... selective memory, I suppose?

Incredible finds! I've never seen a high chair like that! What a bunch of cute kids you guys were - and no Partridge family resemblance! ;)

What a funky high chair! I have a red and chrome one that I found at the thrift store for $6 that I plan to use for my new baby. Funny thing is I bought it about 5 years ago - long before my husband gave in to have another baby! I love that bread box too. I have the same one in a pale aqua.
