Welcome, friends, to another fun-filled Thrill of the Hunt post where I share my latest thrifty (and mostly) vintage finds with you. I'm excited to get started so here goes!
I fell in love with this the moment I saw it Can you say farmhouse? Sheep make for amazing farmhouse decor and I was thrilled to find this tabletop weather vane at my last pop up estate sale at The Little Store.
Right now it's sitting on my white living room fireplace mantel, but I think it would also look great on our DIY dining room farmhouse shelves.
It's a new THL Classic French Pineapple Quilted Butter Dish. I found one currently on ebay, asking price $25.99. I paid 99 cents at Goodwill. Yes, that was definitely a win.
Just look at the pattern on it. And the pretty brass plate that says: "Butter." Lord knows we love our butter in this house. So this butter dish will definitely be put to good use.
Last but not least is what I thought was essentially a large measuring cup. I don't know about you but I use a ton of measuring tools throughout the day while cooking and baking. I was just happy to find a piece that actually held 4 liquid cups, which to me was unusual. Normally we have a one cup and a two cup, but not a four cup.
Ironically, having had three children, one might think that I would know what this was by the name written on the side: Evenflo. Evenflo is the name of a company that manufactures all things baby -- from bottles to high chairs to strollers.
And this "measuring cup" is actually a vintage baby formula pitcher! You could make and store your baby formula all in one container. I believe it's from the 1950's or 1960's. The cheapest I've seen it selling for is $19.99.
Here's the actual measurements on the side. I love the fact that it's such a unique vintage item, and that it has many uses. Not only can it be used for measuring liquids, it can also be used as a vase! Or even as a small pitcher for when you don't want to make that 2-quart pitcher of iced tea. Evenflo measuring pitcher is SOLD.

Love that sheep-I would have snatched that up in a heartbeat! ;)
I loved your finds. I would have gotten both weathervanes caz they were such a bargain. Loved the Evenflo cup. You're so right about 4 cup measuring cups. I finally found a Pyrex one and it is so handy-I love it for a double batch of Jello; then I have a spout to pour it into bowls or custard cups! Glad you are feeling good enough to be on the hunt already!
Me ha encantado especialemte la veleta.
Saludos.
