The Slacking Thrifter Sister

Happy Monday from the rainy Oregon Coast.  I don't even want to look back and see how long its been since I've blogged, I know its been a long, long time.  So, where have I been?  Well, I've seriously reduced my thrifting and sale adventures in the last 2 months.  I think I've been to the thrifts 3 or 4 times and one flea market with Erica.  It's been rough.  I've had withdrawals, but I'm really trying to stop bringing more stuff home.    Why would I want to stop bringing more beautiful, vintage goodies home?  Well, lets just say that Erica, Maddie, and I will have a new thrifter in training come April if you catch my drift.  I've been trying to make room in this tiny house for my new mini thrifter, which is quite a task of its own.  That on top of feeling like garbage for the last 8 weeks has made things pretty different (and exciting) around here.

But, I do have a few items to share that have snuck their way into my house and I haven't shared my birthday gifts from Erica yet!

 Erica continues to add to my McKee Sailboats collection and I continue to love this pattern more and more!

 I've got a nice set going, don't I?

 She also found this awesome ice bucket for me in my favorite color.  I think she also has gotten tired of me picking up the woodpecker toothpick holders every time I see them, because now I have one of my own!  She also got me some great books to help me prepare for the new little thrifter.  I really do have the best Sister.

 The vintage Christmas is slowly starting to show its face.  The knee hugger is the only thing I purchased at the flea market I went to with Erica a few weeks ago.  I continue to pick up Santa mugs, hoping that one day my collection will be as big as Erica's.  I also picked up these bowls for Erica for her future travel trailer that I can't wait to go on a road trip in!

 I had to go to Salem for work last week and was finally feeling a little energetic.  I couldn't resist this cute paperback book about dinosaurs and the vintage roulette game was the only thing I found at the Value Village.

The last thing I picked up was for a baby friend of mine.  I really love the covers on these books and her Mom and I are trying to get her a good collection going of these books.  Right now she would rather destroy them, but some day I will get to sit her down and read one to her!

Erica and I are headed to Dallas this Friday for our Cousin's wedding, which should be a blast!  Watch out on our Instagrams, I'm sure you will see some Thrifter Sister madness going on!

Always a Pleasure,
Hanna
