I always see magagine articles telling me how cheap and easy to find vintage toast caddies are and that they make great mail racks. Sounds great in theory but I hadn't ever seen one in person until today so they must not be as abundant here as the magazines tout.
But nonetheless when I found one today for $1.99 I was totally tickled pink!
I happen to think she is a pretty little caddy and can already tell we will be buddies for a long time to come. Heck, anything that tidies up the counter a little qualifies as my best friend!
I also found this old thing. I am assuming it is an old silver napkin holder, but what do I know?
If you happen to know please share! No matter what it is intended for, I plan to use it to hold a few old postcards I picked up at the local historical archives a few years ago.
I hope your week has been filled with little treasures as well~

Ooo I love that napkin holder (?) thing-a-majig.
Both of these treasures are sooooo cute!! I have been looking for something to hold mail, bills, etc. and that is a perfect option!
Great finds! I don't get out to thrift shops too often, but I've been keeping an eye out for a toast rack too. Guess Edmonton has better finds than Calgary :) xx
Oh, I misread, please disregard previous message, you already knew that!
The "mail holder" is actually a toast holder =D It's so pretty!

Very pretty! I've never seen a toast caddy before, but I like it!
I love your ideas for using beautiful pieces in a non-traditional way.
i've been trying to find a toast caddie for awhile now! so cute!
Toast holder!
What a fantastic idea.. I've often looked at those toast holder thingies and wondered why the heck would anyone want to cool their toast?? Mail holder - what a perfect solution!!
I just might have to hit up the antique mall on my lunch...
I love both trinkets! Where did you find them? I've been looking for something to de-clutter my counters!
We actually found this awesome toast holder last year that spells out TOAST. Love them!
