Estate Sales and Thrift Shops

Sally goes to MDO two days a week. I use those days for cleaning, running errands....but lots of times, you can find me hitting up my favorite thrift shops or attending Estate Sales. The week before Christmas I hit the jackpot! I hit up a local Estate sale and was one of the first people in line. I knew exactly what I wanted (I had seen preview pics online). I headed straight for the back and my jaw just about hit the floor when I saw all of the vintage holiday goodness!

Check out my finds:

Vintage Halloween decorations. I plan on hanging these up next year! Some of them are a little broken, but that's ok. Im still on the search for vintage Halloween cupcake picks.

 

I also scored a vintage Strawberry Shortcake towel and a whole box of vintage Christmas tags and stickers. I got the vintage Santa mugs and the white Pottery Barn mugs at Goodwill on the same day. The vintage metal elephant toy and old Christmas lights were also a great find!

I love a good vintage BINGO game so I had to snatch this one up. I had also been looking for old Christmas lights that I could put in a jar. This box was perfect!

I loved this box of little vintage ornaments! I got the deer at Goodwill for $2.

These were my favorites...a whole box of vintage reindeer and Santas, a vintage elf and a whole box of vintage ornaments for my collection...LOVE!

I think I spent $15 on everything so I was super excited!

Random Thoughts on a Tuesday

I ordered this dress for Sally from a Facebook co-op. It may be her birthday dress...or I may just use it as a everyday dress. Either way, its precious!

I finally was able to get a Sweet Honey dress for Sally. The carting is crazy but my cousin, Meredith, got it for us last week while we were at swimming lessons. I am so excited!

Joe has started making these arrows and is selling them. They are $15 and $12 :) Let me know if you want one. We havent figured out shipping yet...so local only for now.

It makes my heart sad, but I am selling Sally's bedding. I am asking $300 and that includes the bumper, skirt and 2 changing pad covers. Let me know if you are interested.

We are also selling our queen size Pottery Barn duvet cover. We got a king size bed, so we had to size up. Its the Sienna and is on sale online for $109, so I am asking $60.

On a thrifting adventure last week, I found this old school chalkboard for $10. I have no idea where I am going to put it, but I knew I NEEDED it :)

How cute are these lace shoes from wal-mart? I have been wearing them everywhere!!

This was a craft I did last week. Its an oatmeal container covered with scrapbook paper. It makes the perfect headband holder!

Thrift Store Makeover

A few weeks ago I scooped up this cute framed butterfly print at a local thrift shop for $2. Some of you may like the gold, but it just wasn't for me. It was nothing that a little paint couldn't fix.

I taped over the glass with frog tape.

I spray painted black, waited and peeled the tape off.

I love it on my bookshelf!!
