Cast Iron Easter Doorstop

Today was a great day at the thrift store. With less than a month before Easter, I stumbled upon these adorable bunnies in a basket. They're a doorstop made of cast iron. What's great about this trio is that the doorstop is so level. I've had some that lean one way or another and ultimately fall over. But these guys are sturdy and solid.

What I also love about this piece is that it can be used for a general decoration and not just a doorstop. And because it's less than 3" deep, it fits nicely on a kitchen counter without taking up too much room.

My price was $2.00 because it was half-price day. I'm super excited to have found this bargain because they run about $40.00 online with the shipping.

If you're out thrifting, keep your eyes open for cast iron doorstops. Although adorable, this one is a little more common. But some of them have a lot of value depending on how unique they are. A quick look on Etsy or eBay should give you a price.

And don't be reluctant to buy a piece that's less than perfect. In fact, one thing that makes old iron pieces valuable is if they have the original paint on them as opposed to being repainted. Tattered can be really good. Some have been known to sell for thousands of dollars. And even if, like this piece, they're not, if it's something you like, pick it up. And hopefully you'll be able to do so for just a few dollars.
