We stumbled on a garage sale this weekend while home for Mother’s Day. There were some great finds in our small Texas hometown. The homeowner had great style and there were several things that piqued our interest! Above is an old Samsonite suitcase with its Braniff tag still attached! Check out the full post after the jump to see what else we found and what we ended up buying!

We ended up buying this great silver bamboo-inspired table with a glass top. It’s in great condition…jus a few little rust spots and some cleanup on the glass. We waited until the end of the day and got the seller to throw in these old bottles. They’ll be great to add a little bit of vintage atmosphere in a shoot.

Below are some more fascinating objects we found…A couple of old army equipment chests with great colors and lettering (they’d work well as side tables or even a coffee table), a vintage Fish Lo-K-tor and an old Exxon gear oil barrel in a great blue! It would make a neat industrial umbrella stand or planter if you didn’t mind the rust.

Apartment Therapy has a great post on vintage WPA posters created during the 1930s and ’40s. The posters are part of the By the People, For the People: Posters from the WPA collection which you can view online. You can also order posters in various sizes for your own collection of classic American design.
