Thrift Haul - Snazzy High Chair and a Pick Me Up

I was all set to write a whiny post about how my booth sales suck and thrifting sucks lately, but then I found something today that totally turned my frown upside down!  (Which is great because I'm sure no one wants to hear that crap anyway!)
Before I get to my fabulous "pick-me up" check out all this other cool stuff.
This West Bend Hot and Cold Server is so cute.   Most of us have seen/bought these before because they were pretty dang popular back in the day.  I have one in my personal collection here, but this has the bakelite handles, so I traded and took the wood handled one to the booth.
Can you believe I didn't have this in my collection?!  Well me either!  The best bud found this divided dish and I'm keeping it!  
 Speaking of the best bud, look at what else she found!  She's on a freaking roll!  She found the Woodland dish, and while I was photographing it I noticed this cool manufacturing mistake.  I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but it was just a smudge in the print.  Cool!  The Woodland dish along with the Spring Blossom butter dish I found will be heading to the booth.
  She was still on that roll when she found this ridiculously cute and kitschy high chair.  Most of me wants to keep it because I LOVE the color, but I don't have a place for it, so off to the booth it goes.  We were thinking it would be a cool plant stand.  Would you use it for it's intended purpose or something else?
So what is it that got my thrifty little heart all a twitter? This beauty!!!!
Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful?!!!  I'm a dofus, I know, but look!  I was just thinking about how I never see some of the really cool patterns, and then this dreamy dish falls into my lap.  It looks freaking fabulous here!
In all reality, I haven't been to the booth a lot this month and I've been busy and not hitting the thrifts very hard.  So really, I have no reason to complain.   It's been a tough week with the fires, but they are settling down and for that I am thankful.  
Pretty soon things will get back to normal.
Until then, I'm joining the parties at Apron Thrift GirlSir Thrift A LotSumo's Sweet StuffRemnantMod Vintage LifeThe Thrifty Groove and A Living Space. Have a great week everyone!

  5. I would have a hard time letting go of that high chair simply because of the amazing color and pattern! But really, I don't plan on having babies here for a reeeeeeeeeeally long time so it would just take up space. Where did you find that Tree of Life/Saxony Pyrex piece??!!! You are so lucky. Hanna just got one and didn't give it to me even though its in my colors. The nerve:-)

  6. Wow, that high chair is cool! That's one of those things I would be tempted to keep for when I have kids someday! I'm sure it'll go fast. Also I love that blue Pyrex! I's always fun to find a cool new pattern you've never seen! Lucky You!

    1. I haven't decided if this would be good or not for kids in this day and age. It doesn't have cracks and crevasses so it would be easy to clean (the same can't be said for our new one), and the tray comes off easy enough. The only issue would be is that it seems super wobbly. My big guy would knock that thing over in a heartbeat!

  13. Thank you so much for sharing your West Bend Hot and Cold Server! Now I know what on earth the one I found at my parents is hahaha. They had the wood handled one. We thought it was an ice bucket. Who knew it was for hot stuff as well.

    Happy week to you!
