THRIFT FINDS

so I've been a little obsessed with old vintage school desks and chairs every since i saw this play set at restoration hardware - one of my favorite places - but we have no reason to spend that much since we don't have kids yet. it's soooo adorable...

so i went on the hunt and found these two adorable old vintage chairs and a desk for toddlers. i was so happy when i found them!




not too bad, right? especially when it's real vintage. just have to do a little cleaning and find a spot for it in our house and it should be as adorable...

Vintage Fun

The husband and I went out for lunch this weekend and guess what we spotted? An antique store! It was amazing!

There were so many vintage things there that I wanted everything :) I didn't buy everything but I did come home with a dream come true item...

A Tom Thumb typwriter and it's green! Yes, I've been searching and searching for a green vintage typewriter and I finally got one and it still works. All I got to do is change the ribbon. I was the happiest gal this weekend :)

Hope your weekend was fantastic too!

my little treasure hunt.

This might be a little silly but I was so happy I found some vintage wooden alphabet blocks and spools on my treasure hunt a few days ago. One of the spools belongs to the navy...pretty cool. It's a collection for some projects in the future :)

Care to share about your treasure hunt? I would love to know!

Thrift Finds

It has been awhile since I've shared about my treasure hunt :) Here are some of the items that I found a few weeks ago...

I was so excited to have finally found a vintage suitcase. I've been searching for one for a while now. I've also got a vintage thermos, coffee pot and some cool vintage wooden spools. Don't forget to check out Her Library Adventures treasure hunt.

Happy Monday!

Love,

Thrift Finds

I went on a treasure hunt this week and excited about my wonderful goodies...

More vintage pyrex bowls for me...yipee! Salt and pepper vintage Tupperware. A bronze owl. Some vintage "fine bone China" teacup dishes and teacups made from England - those are beautiful! Hop on over to Her Library Adventures to check out what the others found.

Thrift Finds

Just like my sister Athena, I'm a huge thrift shopper. The best thing about thrift and vintage clothing is that you don't have to worry about anyone else wearing the same thing. I was amazed by all the great things I found when I went thrift shopping for the first time. Here are two of my favorite thrift finds:
