Gone thriftin'


I had a babysitter for a few hours the other day.  I was supposed to be using the time to clean the house, run errands, etc. 

Supposed to.  What did the responsible, time mananging adult that I am do instead?

Go thrifting.

And I'm so glad that I did.  Look at all of these lovelies!

5 bucks for this dresser.  I couldn't believe my eyes.  Yes, it needs a little love.  But no more than a few cans of spray paint and I have to give.


And these vintage linens?  I had an armload after only looking at one rack.  Some vintage-y aprons will definitely be in the works.  I may even cut some fat quarters for the shop.  But first I just want to sit and stare.


Vintage china.  Pinch me.  I must be dreaming.  I can't decide if I should eat every meal for the rest of my life on them or if I should hang them up and gawk. 


I'll let you know what I decide.

Sweet little Golden Books.  I definitely feel some playroom art coming out of the lovely illustrations.  Or maybe even a project like this one. 



It was like I was meant to go in there.  I needed to give a good home to all of these treasures.  I haven't had so much luck in months...plenty of fun projects to come! 

Happy Friday everyone!

  6. I think you hit the motherload! Way to go girl!

    You just never know with thrifting do you...I think that's the fun of it!

    I've had some good finds lately too. I think people are decluttering and cleaning house as new year resolutions. I know I've donated quite a few bags already this year myself.
