Thrifty Treasures ...

I had a few minutes yesterday to stop by a roadside flea market, while I was there I picked up these cute little vintage treasures for only $1.75. The glass jar actually goes with a set I already have, so now I think I have all the sizes. The basket is in my favorite color of 70's avocado green and the crewel embroidery is dated on the back; circa 1974.

Now I have to decide what to put in the jar, maybe my loose cardamom tea leaves. Hmm, I think I'll go make myself a cup of tea now and think about how to spend the rest of my weekend. Hope you're having a good one too!

Floral Dreams ...

I couldn't resist! I found two twin bedspreads at a local thrift store, the colors are just spectacular, and the pom pom trim is just so funky. These definately are circa 1970's.

I want to make tote bags & purses out of one of them, IF I can bring myself to cut it. Not too bad for $5 for the pair. I'll have some extra fabric, drop me a line and I can sell you a yard in my etsy store.

Vintage Finds!

On my weekly trek to my favorite thrifts, I found these. They came from 3 different stores, but match so perfectly. The avon index box is my favorite. My kitchen loves them all!

Vintage Finds

A have a few favorite thrift stores that I visit every Wednesday while my daughter is at her tap class. Here's my coolest finds from the last couple of weeks. The mushroom collection is from Sears and is dated 1978, I started with the utensil holder last year, and just found the matching salt & pepper shakers. The fabric is vintage, probably dates back to the 60's. The little framed crewel embroidery is my favorite, it has a label on the back that dates it as handmade in 1972, I just love the colors! ... now if I could only find a place to hang it.
