I’ve always loved the look of using vintage trophies as accessories. But, every time I’ve thought about starting a collection, my hopes have been dashed by the price tags I see on them in thrift stores and even at flea markets.

In case any of you have thought about starting a collection of your own, I saw these on One Kings Lane earlier today, and at $15 to $19 each, the prices are a lot more reasonable than the real vintage ones I’ve seen around.
If you’ve never shopped on One Kings Lane before, you can sign up for a free membership to the site here. (This sale ends on Monday.)
I love the look of these, but wanted to give a warning to people- my friend was letting her daughter play w/ one of her husband's old trophies and ended up having elevated lead levels as a result. Something to think about if- don't let your littles play w/ your trophy decor!
ReplyDeleteAn even better reason to buy the "new" vintage ones from OKL :)
DeleteWow, excited to see my collection featured in your post!! Thank you so much! I agree, the prices of these trophies are now way too high.

thanks for the tip -just bought all 3 - you're so right the vintage ones are always so expensive!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out that site. I have seen some ads and they are really cute. Love decorating with Trophies I just never seem to find them. Now I know.

ReplyDeleteHI! I have a friend who is moving into her new home. I sent her your blog since I love the combination of all your elements. I solidified the fact that I need a black and white striped wall like your entrance. Stephanie Fig from the Enchanted Fig Tree Curated Vintage Accessories on Etsy.

I love vintage trophies too and have one on my mantel! It is also a new "vintage" trophy :)
