Vintage Thingie Thursday : More Vintage Dachshunds
Welcome everyone to Vintage Thingies Thursday. If you have a love for vintage things, well....you have come to the right place. We have a "dog-gone" good time each and every week!!!
If you are new to this party, please take the time to read and follow the instructions for participating in Vintage Thingies Thursday, click HERE. I try and keep things fairly simple, so please make sure you follow the instructions. Please only ONE link per week. Lastly, if you link in, LINK back to my blog, so everyone can see all of the vintage goodies being showed that day. If you don't link back here, they won't know who to visit......thanks so much.
It is always touching when other let you know they think of you. That happened to me a couple of weeks ago when my friend stopped off at my house one afternoon with a little surprise. Her and her husband had been out of town celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary and while browsing some antique places, she came across this little spotted dachshund and purchased it for me. I was so touched and thrilled to add this sweet puppy to my collection of dachshund things. Patti, thank you again, I will treasure this as I do our friendship.
Look at his sweet face and all those adorable spots! I just love it. I think this is a cracker server, but it would also serve well as a olive tray or cheese tray too....only problem is, if it loves cheese the way my three "real" pups do, the cheese might not last too long!
This little pup is a ring holder. One afternoon my daughter and I were at a local Goodwill looking around and I snatched this up right away. This reminds me of my Sophie!! When we went up to pay, there was a young guy checking people at the register and another young guy helping him bag.....
.....when he picked this up to ring it up, he looked at it and sorta laughed and nudged the guy who was helping him bag things....I told him to not laugh at my little dog!!! He just looked and smiled....most likely thought what is that "Hot" girl going with this crazy women........I love it and this was a real bargain for 50 cents.
I found this cute little skunk recently as well at Goodwill. That day, there was a lot of old souvenir items on the shelves, from plates, salt and pepper shakers, little boxes and little animals. I think this little skunk was one of those from the collection that ended up on the shelves of GW. The sticker was worn off, but it is still stamped Japan on the bottom. I felt bad leaving this cute little figurine behind, so it came home too and sits on the shelf in my laundry room. There is always room in my house for orphans of all kinds!
Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday everyone. I hope your day is filled with love and laughter and wonderful fall weather wherever you may be.

That is just what you needed, more dogs. When someone loves them as you do, guess you cannot get too many. I like the spotted one that is for crackers.

ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. I always pick up little animals in the thrift shops but have run out of room. They are quite collectable.

How cute! I do see the resemblance between the ring holder and Sophie. Of course, Sophie is much cuter. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Suzanne.

I love the dogs. The skunk is appealing too, but I never would have guessed it was a skunk. It looks so sad!

ReplyDeleteYou always find such great buys. I was at our GW this week and they wanted $1.99 for a pint mason jar (it was new lol) You just wonder sometimes who prices these things. Have a great week. Debbie
ReplyDeleteHello Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to be joining you for Vintage Thingie Thursday! You have a very warm and chic blog,that I discovered very recently. I look forward to visiting more.
I think I'm missing out on a lot of things by not going to the Goodwill store. I love everything you found there. Doylene
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to visit every week and see so many vintage treasures and how we use these items to decorate our home. I think I did every thing right this week with the wonderful Mr. Linkey.

ReplyDeleteYou're orphans are adorable. What a special friend you have. These are the only kind of animals I can have, I'm allergic to all pet dander!!!! I enjoying seeing everyone elses pets from a distance.
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT

Adorable finds - love the skunk.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the spotted fellow in the first picture. He is adorable.
ReplyDeleteOne of my treasured childhood possessions was a china dachshund, about 6-inches long. She had tiny china puppies, and they were attached to her with little gold chains. I don't know why but I adored this nutsy bit of kitsch, and I wish I knew what happened to it!

My 2 favorite parties are yours and Wednesday is Rednesday. But yours especially. I am thrilled to see what others share for vintage especially the Pyrex. Thank you for doing it each week.
