I love to thrift shop and I do it A LOT. I find really great stuff every once in a while and thought I'd share. Check out this vintage stroller I found at a local consignment shop. I've been on the look out for something like this for my coffee table and can't wait to put a tiny christmas tree in it in December.
I'm now keeping my eyes peeled for a fun and unique way to display my collection of measuring cups. I've never been much of a collector, but after my friend bought me a set I thought I'd give it a try. You would be surprised how hard it is to come by novelty measuring cups. I've been collecting for a year and have only found 7 sets (if you ever see any, let me know!) Do you collect anything? How do you display it?

oh my gosh I love love love the elephant measuring cups! I collect elephants because our baby that was stillborn was buried with a stuffed one. So I try to have an elephant in every room of the house as a reminder. :)
Oh...that's not a tricyle...it's a very early stroller.. I spy a folded down handle...
So cute...
Love the elephant measuring cups too! Cool idea for your coffee table!
That is actually a Taylor Tot stroller. They had a tray on the bottom that could be removed and used as a walker. I still have our children's and use it as a plant holder too.

What an absolutely incredible find! I love your collection of measuring cups too (especially the sweet little elephants)!
I'm a fellow thrift-store junkie, and some of my collections include antique cookbooks, vintage ice cream scoops and rotary beaters. They're all displayed in my tiny kitchen.

Love the stroller and yes, it is called a Taylor Tot. My parents had one when I was a child and I was born in 1939..........so it is really old.
Love the measuring cups. I have always been a collector and believe in displaying collections. Collections are so much more enjoyable when you can view them.
Love your stroller!! I've never seen one like that! Your measuring cups are great, especially like the elephants!
I featured your little blue cart today on my blog. Take a peek:
