TREASURES FOUND

My aunt & uncle are in town visiting my parents.  They were hitting up a city wide garage sale so I tagged along. First of all for the entertainment.  The four of them are hilarious together.  It is my dad's sister and her husband and my mom and dad.  To see my dad and his sister tease each other is just pure entertainment and makes me see how they probably were as kids.  And second because you never know what treasures you  might find.  Here are mine:
Found this so cute table runner or dish towel or something.  But thought it was just adorable vintage looking.  It was in a box of free stuff.  I dug through the box & snatched it up.


Also in the free box was this pottery barn barn plate.  It has a tiny chip on it, but other than that it is fine.


This is were my new free pottery barn plate and new free table runner/dish cloth.  Love the new additions to my table.

Came across this cute little book for 25 cents.  Thought maybe it might have some cute projects to do.

Projects like how to make a teepee or how to make a hammock.  Fun.


I think I talked about awhile back wanting to get new bedding.  I wasn't sure if I wanted completely new bedding or something to match the quilt my Gram made me.  Well I came across these adorable vintage looking sheets and they go PERFECT with my Gram's quilt.  Awesome.  So cute.

Here are the two together.  The green and pink.  I never would have found anything patterned to go with this quilt, but I think they blend super well.

I had so much fun hanging with my parents and aunt & uncle.  They wore me out.  Glad I went for the entertainment & the great finds.  Total spent for the day $4.25.  YEA!

Peace, Love, & Hugs.

THRIFT STORE FINDS

I went thrifting back at the end of March.  I took picks of all my finds, but I guess somewhere along the way I forgot to post my finds. So here are my finds:
I love this dress.  Thought it was funky.  Have no idea where I am going to wear it, but I'll find something.

Close up of the material and pattern of dress.

Total hippie flowers.  Love.  It's super thin so keeps cool.

This blouse just reminds me of candy.  It's so light and cool and super girly.

Cute embroidered tank.

The white shirt I Already had, but this little pink number was my find.  I don't have a lot of pink and this would be cute over this shirt, or a tank, or swim suit.

Simple coral button down.  Light weight.

another super girly.  So light weight and cool also.

 
This is just a plain black with white polka dots blouse.  Thought it was simple and cool for work.  I may have to give it up though, my boobs don't fit it that well. :)

Adorable brown skirt.  I love the jagged bottom of it.  It has a super adorable flower pinned to the front too.  Cute with flats, sandlas, or even flip flops. 

Two pairs of shorts.  nothing special just shorts.  

Duh shoes.  Girl can't have too many.  New black and brown.  Great find.  I hardly ever find shoes in my size thrifting.

This is summer.  Could be worn as skirt or long blouse with leggings.

Close up.

TREASURES FOUND

Did a little thrift exploring and came across this guy.
Got him for .99.  Thought he was worth it, and something weird to add to the rest of my weird. Decided to try my luck at The Salvation Army Thrift Store and check out their treasures.

TREASURES FOUND

My treasure found at the thrift store. It's going in my dining room as soon as I find a way to hang this crazy heavy thing.



A close up of the frame. My dining room when finally complete is going to be red, black, & gold. So this will go PERFECT.



And of course the ever loving thrift store wacky picture, cause you always see something wacky wondering around.

Introducing THE THRIFT STORE BARBIE ORGY:


I haven't been out thrifting in a awhile. I missed it. I love finding that one great thing that will go in my house.

I also found a couple pairs of random jeans to cut off and make into shorts for the long Texas summer. I love cutoffs and if I'm wearing cut offs I don't mind being thrown in a pool by my husband or sprayed with the water hose by my monster kiddos.
