Crown Lynn and Retro Summer Finds


I love and collect some of the old New Zealand Crown Lynn prints.
Over summer I have had a few great Crown Lynn and retro finds.
Most of them are from thrift type shops and they are all small town finds.
Small towns have the best thrift shops.
I usually only ever buy my Crown Lynn pieces cheaply at op shops,
but with this lot I paid a little more for one or two pieces,
simply because I couldn't walk away after finding them.
I was thrilled beyond words to find the coffee set above.
It might just be my favourite. 
And, these lovely cup sets made me smile.
 
 
I have a weakness for retro pieces and
was delighted to stumble across these retro canisters.
 
 
And, I couldn't go past this little retro pot.
 
 
Have you had any good thrift finds lately?

  5. There cant be an op-shopper in nz who doesnt have a space in their heart andvtheir homes for some crown lynn. The diversity of style means there is something for ever taste. Myself, im a colour glaze girl. The coffee set you got is so cheery and very stylish x
