There are some fresh vintage china pieces at FOUND this week. This sweet child's tea set features a different playful illustration on each piece. There are also a half dozen Austrian fish plates with transfer designs....What we have at the shop changes all the time, so if you see something in these photos that you're interested in, stop by soon or call for details.

It's hard to imagine on this snowy February day, but Spring flowers will soon be blooming. It's a good time to gather some vases so you'll be ready when the daffodils wake up.This month, you'll find dozens of vintage milk glass bud vases (and lovely bouquets of fabric tulips)...

Over 60 vintage European grain sacks and 6 large rolls of linen arrived last week. Our biggest collection of textiles ever. Perfect for making pillows, covering chairs...read more.

The new FOUND shop is beginning to take shape. We're excited about the vintage finds that will go into our space. Things are pretty much a jumble right now, with paint cans and ladders and piles of boxes. We've covered the windows so that our mess is not visible, but here's a little peek. Read more...

FOUND is overflowing with vintage bottles and jars this week!  Perfect for a little bouquet of flowers - Donna plopped these colorful blooms from the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market into one at the shop. When I picked my latest batches of bottles and jars at the antique show, weddings were on my mind....

When you mix old and new and handmade the way we do at FOUND, figuring out how to fit it all into the shop and not have it look like a big messy mess is tricky.  Especially during the holidays!  Right now the big messy mess is where I live....

 If you are on our email list, follow FOUND on Facebook or have been in the shop this month, you know about our "Old Stuff" sale already.  It's that time of year when all vintage and antique merchandise is 20% off.  Throughout October we clear as much of the vintage...

One of my favorite things about FOUND is the variety of merchandise that works with our concept of mixing old and new and handmade into one fun store.  This post features photos of some of our latest finds in each of those categories.  First up are these nutritional teaching aids...

Frost earlier in the week - 80 degrees yesterday. And beautiful sunny skies this morning.  It's time to plant flowers this weekend! Below are some things we have in the shop this week that may give you a bit of inspiration. A vintage salmon pink trowel!  This is the first...

  Went on a quick vintage buying trip for FOUND at the end of February.  Then March came in like the proverbial lion - with plenty of snow and ice in Ann Arbor.  Today was a sunshiny day, nice and cozy by the windows.  Cozy like this furry little mohair...

Faces and gears from old watches are great for collage/assemblage and upcycled jewelry projects.  Whenever I find them, they sell out almost immediately.   So I was pretty excited when I recently found a source in Chicago who can keep FOUND well stocked! Our watch faces are priced individually (mostly $2-$3), plus...

I love it when I find a large collection of something at an estate sale!  In this case, it was vintage hammered aluminum serving peices from the post WWII era.  Popular during the late 1940s through the early 1960s, most baby boomers will remember these trays as something their mothers...

Even though I know that Summer officially begins June 20 or 21st, I usually think of it being "summer" around Memorial Day, so decided take a peak at what The Old Farmer's Almanac had to say about it.  Nowdays, www.almanac.com is the quick way to check out what that age-old reference has...
