Great Find: Vintage Soda Crates

Today I went to this gem of a shop about 15 minutes from my house. I've been there before, but never got a chance to really look around because I'm usually not alone. This shop could easily be a warehouse for PB. It houses so many unique vintage treasures that you seriously don't know where to look first. I love a good treasure hunt, don't you?

Here's what I found


I so wish they had more! I found these two tucked under piles of stuff, and they were begging to come home with me. Remember PB had similar ones a while back....


I'm not sure where I'm going to put them permanently yet, but for right now they have a happy home on the coffee table. 
Have you scored any great finds lately?

    My mom recently gave me one like your divided coke crate in similar condition. I haven't used it for anything clever yet. I like how you just stacked them on the coffee table!

    I love vintage bottle crates. I also used to have a couple of coke crates and they made every room they were in 'fun'.

    We have a little tourist shop in town that has on ice and sells the old coke, rc, ginger ale, cream soda, bottles, oh yea, cant' forget Rootbeer. Those crates would be prefect for them. I'm a new GFC friend, I would if stop by http://hotflashncraftn.blogspot.com/, and be mine too.
