This weeks flea market finds are neither vintage nor used, but they are iconic. They're a pack of 25 'The longest drink in town' cups, all for the bargain price of 70c from a garage sale. The milkshake maker was a garage sale buy a few years back.
These cups were a popular part of kiwi kids summer and a permanent feature on the dairy(corner shop) counter, ready for the next ice cold milkshake.
It seems I'm not alone in my nostalgia, as there is now a vast array of products featuring this iconic image. I googled some to show you. The best prices and my favourite finds, were on endemicworld, which is a fantastic design website. Check it out, the kids toys are great, they even have polkadot stilts!
Here are my favourites....
a set of plastic 'longest drink' cups
I thought I'd keep the cups for a kiwiana themed childrens party, not this years though. Some of the kids are barely(if even) weaned, and certainly not old enough to hold, let alone drink 800mls! I thought they'd make great party bags too. Oooh... so many ideas!
For more flea market finds pop over to Sophie's.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
