Oh, how I am so ready for summer to be over, and the crisp fall to be here! How about you? I stopped off at a little thrift store and found this beautiful vintage red apple bread box.
It was hiding underneath a shelf, just waiting for me to bring it home! The patina is just gorgeous! I just love rusty goodness!
This is my first bread box, and I know it won't be my last. I am not sure of the era, but I would assume from 30's-50's. What do you think?
Awhile back I bought this pretty vintage apple flour sifter. The apples on this are so bright, and it is in such great condition.
I have always wanted to use one of these to make a pie or some sweet treat. Maybe one day I will find one with less rust inside! They sure don't make sifters like this anymore! Do you have any neat vintage sifters?
Wishing you all a lovely and cheery day!
I am linking up with sweet Sue at It's a Very Cherry World for Rednesday!! Head on over to check out some more lovely reds!!
Your red finds are very nice. Trust the Dr. Pepper crate is yours as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! The Dr.Pepper crate is mine!! It's a a favorite. ;) xo Heather
DeleteLOL! I love the sifter...when I was just getting engaged I bought one of those new at the supermarket...back then you would never ever think of making a cake or cookies without sifting the flour. But now I just dump the flour in...and all's good! I once had my kitchen done in vintage apples and found a set of cannisters and a garbage can in unused condition on Ebay...I couldn't believe it! =D Have fun with that bread box...will it go in your craft space?
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! I was thinking if anyone really sifted anymore. ;) Oh, how beautiful, I have been keeping my eye our for some canister, and a dust pan with the apples. I am heading to the flea market on Sunday, so we shall see! I have the bread box sitting on top of my small hutch in my dining room. Have a great day! xo Heather
DeleteAhhhhhg! I would probably cause a scene if I found something like that. Luckyyyy!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! ;) xo Heather
Deletelove the bread box * and it's a double decker, too! Very Nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was a lucky find! xo Heather
DeleteSuch cute finds! Reminds me of a bread box I have that my mother-in-law gave me that has the same colors but instead of the apples it has little stawberries. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHope your having a lovely day!
Thank you!! Oh, how beautiful your strawberry one must be!! I have seen some, and they are gorgeous! Have a wonderful day! xo Heather
DeleteLove it - so sweet with rosy apples to brighten any kitchen

Thank you Sophie! xo Heather
DeleteTHis is so incredibly cute! Love the apples, reminds me my childhood so much!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Thank you so much for joining the link up party today! So happy to have you join!
Hope you have a lovely day girl!
Thank you so much Britt! Have a wonderful day, too! xo Heather
DeleteThat breadbox was quite a find! I would guess that it is from the 40's (and that is just a guess). I have a few vintage sifters but nothing with color like your pristine apple one. Too bad it has the rust, frankly, I have never seen an old one without rust. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, I don't think I will find one without rust, but you never know! How fun would it be! Have a great day! xo Heather
DeleteYour finds always make me super excited to find something. I love this and the double bins are extra special. Congrats on the find...smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteHope you find some treasures today!! ;) xo Heather
DeleteHeather your bread box is adorable as is the sifter. I think it is probably late 40's early 50's in age. Great find.
ReplyDeletexo,
Danielle
Thank you Danielle! xo Heather
DeleteI always look at the sifters when I see them, I just have a plain one, I love the one you have - great score on the bread box too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jill!! I love finding sifters, too, and I guess now I will be looking for more bread boxes! xo Heather
DeleteYou did a great job! Looks awesome.

DeleteI love the Dr. Pepper crate! Everyone else likes Coke, I want Dr. Pepper! Fun stuff there my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Dr. Pepper is my favorite, and at our wedding that is what we had for the toast! There is an old soda pop shoppe in town, and we got the old cane sugar ones, and it was so fun! We also had other nostalgic soda, too! ;) xo Heather
Deleteobsessed!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good day! Stop by nichollvincent.blogspot.com and say hi :)

DeleteLOL Only among this group of women is it normal to say something like "This is my first bread box"!! Haha! I've really been wanting one too. Your "double decker" is really cute! And I love that it matches the four sifter.
ReplyDeleteGreat find Heather!
Erica :)
I know, right! ;) Thank you!! Have a great day! xo Heather
DeleteWhat a CUTESY APPLE BREAD BOX! Never seen one like that and of course you have a apple design sifter (which is in fAB shape!!) LOVE THEM BOTH! It was meant to be! I have a PASSION for things METAL!! Those would look applelicious in a VINTAGE TRAVEL TRAILER...I can see it now...From one sweetie to another~~~~Roxie
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Roxie!!Oh, yes they would!! I look forward to having a vintage caravan one day! ;) xo Heather
DeleteI love vintage metal and these are APPLELICIOUS! I could see these in a Vintage Travel Trailer!~~~~From one sweetie to another~~~Roxie
ReplyDeleteSo cute and totally 40's-50's. I have a box like this, but with yellow flowers, and I use it as a stationary caddy. For the rust, try taking some Krylon matte clear finish and spray it where the rust is. May take a couple of coats, but then the rust won't come off on things you put inside. Great finds!!!!!!!! I use an old sifter once in awhile that was my grandmothers.

ReplyDeleteThank you Kim!! Oh, yes Josie would love to crank the handle!! I know I do! xo Heather
DeleteI adore the crisp apples but no, no NO I am not ready for summer to be over yet, at least not here in Portland. We waited so long for it and I am not ready to return to the soggy gray gloom just yet!

DeleteJealous much! Nope, love the heat; )

DeletePs- I just have to ask.. what did you do to make it so you could reply to comments on your own page like that? That would be a nice option.
ReplyDeleteWhen you go to you dashboard, and click on settings, then click on post and comments, scroll down to the comments are where it says "comment location" click on it so it says "embedded" and it should give you the option to reply to comments. Let me know if it worked for you. ;) xo HeatherS
DeleteThose are some wild apples...love the sifter.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary!! xo Heather
DeleteSo so adorable!! and Oh my gosh I so hear you on that! I am beyond ready for fall! My favorite time of year! I am an October baby...not sure if that is the reason. but, the fall clothes...the leaves...cider...craft shows...outdoor festivals...hayrides! YES!! :)
ReplyDeleteBack when we had a store we did a whole collection of these old bread boxes and tins ...revamped...with vintage inspired fruit paintings. They always flew out the door. :) Good memories.
Happy weekend!!
