This Week’s Vintage Finds
Vintage Plates & Tea Cups
There’s something magical about sipping tea from a beautifully aged cup, knowing it has a story to tell. This week, I found the loveliest vintage tea cups and plates—each one a little work of art. Whether displayed in a glass-front hutch or used for afternoon tea, these delicate pieces add a touch of old-world elegance to any home.
Styling Idea: Stack mismatched plates for a collected-over-time look or create a charming tea corner with a lace doily, a floral teapot, and these vintage beauties.
Vintage Shams with Ruffles & Pillowcases
Soft, feminine, and utterly romantic—these vintage shams and pillowcases with delicate ruffles are straight out of a cottagecore dream. Their worn-in softness and intricate details bring effortless charm to any bedroom.
Styling Idea: Layer them on your bed with a crochet blanket for a cozy, layered look or mix florals and pastels for a shabby-chic aesthetic.
Vintage Jars & Canisters
I also stumbled upon some stunning vintage jars and canisters—perfect for both practical storage and farmhouse-style decor. From embossed glass to floral tin canisters, these finds are a must-have for organizing a dreamy kitchen.
Styling Idea: Use them for flour, sugar, or tea, or repurpose them as vases for dried flowers or fresh-cut herbs from the garden.
Enamelware Floral Bowls
One of my favorite finds this week was a set of gorgeous enamelware floral bowls! These classic pieces are both functional and stunning, featuring delicate floral designs that add a rustic yet feminine touch to your kitchen.
Styling Idea: Use them for serving fresh fruit, displaying baked goods, or simply stack them on an open shelf for a farmhouse-inspired look.
