We had such maps as well but not with advertisement on it. But I could be mistaken because I live in a milk country with a big lobby for it. We grew up with the slogan" melk voor elk"/milk for everybody. Ore “melk de witte moter”/milk the white engine. And do not forget: Joris driepinter/ Joris 3 pints. Joris was a little guy on tv who told us to drink at least 3 pints of milk a day 
That’s what I like about triftshops, you always see stuff that remind you of the old days. The time at school ore with my grandparents. So I like to see more of your finds @Deadman
Looks like someone made your planter by hand @Just_Laura , cute! I wonder how many houres there is in making that pot. I try to collect “berkenbast” potten. They where a hit into the 60’s ore 70’s and I like them a lot. I already have some.

I got this for a couple of quid from a charity shop in Glastonbury, I think. It’s weird but I like it. I’ve got zero idea what it is, or what you would put in the little basket area. It’s soapstone, no ivory or anything equally vile.

Nice! Maybe put some salt in the bowl and use it for burning sticks of incense?

Nice idea though the kittens would no doubt start a house fire… 
I really wonder what it is though!

Here in Arizona we have antique malls. Not sure where else they are, but I rarely saw anything similar back home in the northeast.
Generally it’s a large collection of individually-rented stalls with a mix of genuine antiques, misc used items, home-made/artisanal stuff, and a whoooole lot of “whatever”. Usually a lot of great, genuine mid-century stuff which suits my style and my home. Some vendors are a little too ballsy with their pricing - but there are also plenty of steals to be had.
I regularly find pots/pottery here on the cheap that I use for planters, I’ve found some awesome stuff.
I have 4 or 5 spots that are standard go-to’s, and 2 of my top 3 just happen to be within a mile of my house. I went to both today. I’ve been going to both at least once a month since I moved to the southwest nearly 3 years ago. Great way to spend a few hours.
I’ll start posting whenever I visit these places. Never know what you’ll find. I’ll also post existing things I’ve gotten - in my living room alone there’s at least a dozen items, probably closer to 15-20.
Favorite sight today -
Frog purse.
St Harry
Rocking Toucan??
Got this wee bird to pair with my toucan in my kitchen skylight garden. Bird bros.

A recent favorite find/purchase. Got it in October, I think.
Not a real antique. Not even real brass or gold.
But I always have a candle and it dresses it up really nicely. Perfect color/style for my living room.

Nice finds @TMAC !
I just saw a look a like glass of my drinking days right behind Harry 
The glass with the cactus glass base. I had such a glass but then in wine glass shape. It was my favorite because of the cactus base en it was a big glass so plenty of space for much wine.
I had totally forgotten about this glass. I trow it away at my first serious attempt of quitting my drinking 11 ore 12 years ago.
Time has changed, but it was a nice flasback to someting old and forgotten.
Thank you T

Went to the triftshop yesterday and found another little wooden doggie to add my collection of wooden toys.
You can make them move a bit by pushing the “button” beneath each toy. I found them very fascinated as a kid.
I payed 10 eurocent for the dog and that was a bargain. But when I came home I saw it’s exactly the same as one I already had!
So now I have twins!
Also bought an ceramic holy water can in a nice soft green colour. Didn’t know what is was before I bought it, but the sign on it was a bit familiar to me so I googled on it. It’s still for sale when new for €45,-
I paid 2 euro for it!I always return home happy!
But it’s also time to get rid of some stuff to, I have more vases then flowers!

Idk how old this is, but I got it for $1 twenty years ago!
This is a mini racing luge. For $4 I was shocked at how fast it is!
Just got this recently. $1.50 abalone shell I’m using as a jewelry dish.

I have such a shell as well! I use it to burn sage in it.
And the luge? I had to translate it and if my translation is fine you need to sit on it? A kind of sleigh?

Yes. Like a tiny bobsled. It says ‘race series’ on it and they weren’t kidding 
I’d never seen anything like it and didn’t know what to expect. There were actually 2 of the exact same one and I forever regret not buying both.

Ha ha I understand that! Then you could race together, that would be fun!
Ps How many times I came home after vistithing a triftshop and still thinking about something I haven’t bought 
One time I returned the next morning to buy the item I regret buying the day before, but it was gone

We all grew up with the writing of Annie MG Schmidt and the drawings of Fiep Westendorp. Still love them so much. Loved to have been one of the Stampertjes💕
