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!

I've got about a hundred million things to do, but I think I'll just run out to the thrift store first...

ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to sneak out for some thrifting fun!! You found some amazing things. Were all those items from the same store? I love the dresser and the vintage fabric you found. We love to get golden books at the thrift store too. I remember reading so many of them as a child. It's fun to know read them with my boys.

ReplyDeleteYou 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.
Oh that's great fun. I'd love to do some cool things for my kids like with those books.
