Vintage Picnic : Junk Party Entry!

Howdy~Hey Ya'all
Welcome to my "Junk Party" entry!
I LOVE vintage picnic junk

My picnic basket collection. These are great because you can use them to store decor items you are not displaying at the time. I have one more, but it is up on a high shelf with a plant on it.


I like old Thermos's. I have several of the standard red plaid but love to find cool, unique graphics and unusual lids. Do you have any of these??


I like them in blue...


RED


And Green!!


Hey, how did that Farm Chicks cookbook get out here! Can't keep those Gals away from a good junk party, teehee!!

Do you collect vintage picnic stuff?? I would LOVE to see it!
Thanks for stopping by!
Make sure you pop over to Kennesha's for the rest of the
Blessings~LillySue

Great Collection! We have had several over the years for sale in the store, the best one I can recall was the big round jug style in a rosie pink. We filled it with fresh flowers and it sold the same day. I must look for more now that you have reminded me.
Thanks for always leaving me such nice comments on my blog. I'm so bad about commenting:(
