Time Flies!

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe I haven't posted in over a week.  It doesn't seem like it's been that long since Hanna let you all in on her exciting news!  As soon as she gives me the thumbs up, I'll share with you all the sweet personalized announcement she sent especially for me.

A couple of weekends ago, my BFF Rachel, Maddie, and I headed up to Albany to do a little out of town treasure hunting.  It was a pretty good day!


Love the graphics on the Mason jar lid box.  It's always a good day when I find a Swanky Swig that I don't already have.  And how perfect is this coffee cup?  I posted it on Instagram and said it had my name all over it!


It's a good thing those glasses are tiny!  Then I can keep fitting more on my shelf.


I also thrifted this awesome handmade table and am still on the fence as to whether or not to paint it.


I found two (!) open bakers hidden underneath a table at an antique mall.  I could tell by the way one was sitting in the other that they weren't divided dishes, even though one had a DD lid!


The Fire King refrigerator dish has a pattern on it that I have never seen before.  And I finally found one of the Fire King Rainbow Swirl bowls in person.  Now to find the other three!


Just in time for Halloween!  You all know how hard it can be to find vintage Halloween decorations so you gotta grab them when you can find them at a good price!


Another Thermos and pretty floral tin for my collections.


I would have to say my collection has gotten a little out of control!


It's a good thing that I have blog friends like Pam at House of Hawthornes to show alternative uses for them (and a husband willing to try).

That's all for today!

  7. Oh, and definitely paint that table! It would be adorable painted. Turquoise? White? Pink? I think it would look good in just about any color.

  9. I haven't had time to dig through the boxes of stuff I bought on Saturday yet -- but -- I did get that EXACT "I lost my A-- in Nevada" mug! I'm thinking of cleaning it up and taking it to work and using it as my espresso mug :) I bring in different vintage teacups and mugs all the time for our office espresso machine (there's only 6 of us) and they all get a kick out of them. It's funny to imagine that people drank that small amount of coffee and are able to survive. I need several giant mugs and espresso shots to get through some days!!
