Vintage Plastic Boxes


A new discovery at my favorite thrift store: the office supply shelf! How have I been overlooking this for so long?

This week I got two fabulously turquoise plastic boxes (originally for index cards but perfect for sewing supplies) for ten cents. The best part was the price sticker on the top sourcing them from the local university bookstore. A long time ago.

  1. The colors in the photo are so pretty! I ♥ turquoise!

    Anna, would you be able to share which of the many vintage sites you found the pattern for the lovely dress in the previous post? I can never find nice patterns like that.

  2. I would if I could remember! Most likely it came from ebay, and I have a link on my page to the vintage women's sewing patterns. They're quite reasonable.

  3. I always buy the old receipt books for note pads too- they're cute and save me buying new paper.

  4. I didn't know plastic became vintage! What year did that happen?! I have some vintage ice cube trays in my freezer!
