Ready For The Weekend!

Happy Thursday, Friends!

Tomorrow, I'm headed up to Astoria to see Hanna.  I can't wait!  It's only been two weeks since we've seen each other but in Sister-Years, that is a lifetime!  I may have to make this trip solo since Brian has a cold and he tends to be a little bit of a fun sucker when he is sick and we can't have that.  I'm looking forward to a fun filled weekend and can't have anything holding me back!

In the Pacific Northwest, we have been experiencing record breaking rainfall so I've been ducking for cover and hiding out trying to be productive around my house.  I've even already decorated for Halloween!  I've had a bit of cabin fever so I was happy that the sun was out this morning and there were a few Thursday estate sales for me to go to! 

Jewelry is rarely something that I pick up at sales.  This rhinestone necklace was mixed in with a bunch of other non-vintage pieces.  It is in perfect condition but just a little small.  It fits more like a choker on me so I have to figure out something else to do with it.  I always love to find flower frogs.  I incorporate them throughout all the displays in my house.

It's been a while since I have found any Melmac so these pink and turquoise cups just had to come home with me, especially for a quarter apiece.  I use them for dessert bowls in the Summer.

I seriously have the most difficult time not buying jars. I mean, just look at the shape of these!  I use them as canisters and to store cute things I want to be able to look at.  The one on the right I put Halloween cupcake picks and cookie cutters in.  Cute idea, huh?  The tablecloth was either never used or someone as OCD as me owned it and took it off of the table every single time someone got near it!

The handles on this vintage western tooled handbag aren't in the best shape but it is so pretty that I bought it to mainly display.  It looks right at home with all of my cowboy boots but will probably get incorporated into Maddie's vintage cowgirl themed bedroom!  The two men's wallets were a freebie.  I'm not sure what I am going to do with them but who am I to turn down free stuff?

 



Vintage dishtowels!  Yay!!  They don't look like they have ever been used and they sure won't be at my house.  My family has finally figured out that these are FOR DISPLAY ONLY.

I love the cute little graphic on this one.

I picked up this tooled leather wallet out of the display case as I was checking out.  It's not as cute as the one I bought for Sister though.  In case you forgot, you can see it here.  I thought this pottery pitcher looked familiar and when I got it home, I realized I have the double handled match to it sitting in my bathroom!

Not a bad haul for a Thursday, huh?  Can you believe that I have more to show you?  That will have to wait until next time, though.  I had a pretty sad estate sale Summer so hopefully the Fall will bring me lots of treasures to make up for it!

I'm gonna head over to the following parties to share my finds!
