Happy September!

Fall is definitely in the air.  The kids start school next week, it's colder in the morning, and getting darker earlier in the evening.  Soon, I will be changing the look to of our blog.  It's time to put away the Summer theme and adopt a cozier, Fall look.

I don't know if it is the fact that this is Labor Day weekend or if the season is simply winding down, but I went to a total of 3 sales this weekend and two were right down the road from my house!  Here's a look at what I found

I haven't found any tablecloths in the last couple of weeks so I was happy to find this one on a dollar table.  I don't have any tablecloths with purple in them so this is a great addition to my collection.
I found these two shabby wrought iron plant stands and contemplated painting them for about two seconds before I realized how perfectly chippy they are.  Why mess with that?
Not entirely sure what I am going to do with these old road maps.  Any suggestions?
I was drawn to the graphics on this box and was super excited at what I found inside
A set of 8 Bartlett Collins holiday themed tumblers.  I can't wait to use these at Christmas.
I found these canisters and table runner about a month ago at a sale that was being given by two sisters who decided they were closing down their booth at a local antique mall.  Their prices were still pretty high but they had some awesome stuff.  I could have spent a lot more money than I did but I was good.  I had never seen pink canisters before so I was pretty happy to find these.

Then, the following weekend I found these while antiquing with Sister and BFF.
No readers, you aren't delusional.  This is the full set of the exact same canisters as above.  And of course I had to buy them!  How often do you come across pink canisters?

I made a promise to myself that although school starts back next week,  I am going to try and keep up the same blogging pace as I have done all Summer.  It's so much fun to show you what I have found and what kind of projects we have going on around here.  I love your comments and am addicted to checking out your blogs as well.

I am heading over to Beverly's for Pink Saturday and Sir Thrift A Lot's for his very first link party.  Hope you all have an awesome Labor Day Weekend!

Until next time....

  1. I just bought 3 of the Bartlett Collins tall glasses today. I am sure I have more in the garage that are waiting to be uncovered/cleaned/priced/sold! I love the bright graphics of the glasses. The canisters are so very nice!

  3. Make Christmas ornaments or a garland with the old maps. Oh, or placemats or modgepodge them onto coasters. Love the old graphics on old maps!
