vintage patio


Stopped by my favorite charity thrift store yesterday, 
and dropped off lots of things in a spring cleaning frenzy.

Of course, I took a quick peek around the store.
Carefully avoiding bringing home,
more than I brought in...
I 'm not eager to show up on Hoarders anytime soon.

Scored some swanky vintage dollhouse patio furnishings (scale is 1" to 1').


  The swing is pretty sweet with the red and white striped awning
 coupled with tiny white vintage bobble trim.



I'm particularly fond of the diminutive croquet set.


 Love white wrought iron patio chairs.
They're even cuter in miniature.



If anyone has any information regarding vintage patio dollhouse furniture, 
I'm all ears.

Thanks for stopping by :)

So this darlin' doll house furniture has inspired me ~ I turned 50 two years ago and bought a dollhouse that ws to be my 50-year-0ld-project! It's STILL sitting there waiting for me, and I just might get to it now. That is if I could find some adorable-ness like this!

What a score! I love your new dollhouse furniture. I have never seen anything like these before and I am always on the lookout. I especially like the "glass" table and green striped chairs.

Old Centennial Farmhouse said...

They are QUITE pricey right now (think eBay or etsy!) and are all the rage, quite a trend. Your finds are absolutely adorable, and I'm sure if you don't want them, you would have NO trouble selling them for a princely sum.

Just gorgeous!

These are so so cute, Molly. The crochet set is adorable in particular!
My girls would enjoy looking and playing with these gorgeous lovelies enormously. And so would I ^_~

Have a happy day, my friend xxxx

You can't have cute furniture like that and not have a dollhouse to put it in! I hope you find one quick. Some lucky dolly is going to have herself one rockin' patio!

Gloria said...

Oh my, CUTE! CUTE! CUTE! I love MINI sweet finds! :)

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, dear Molly.

XOXO Gloria

The red/white swing looks like one I have...Lundby. Also, absolutely love-love-love your table and chairs set!

I am restoring a Gottschalk house now (beach house type) that would admire a similar set for its sun patio!

Excellent find!
