Good day--a few yard sales, an estate sale and a thrift store visit and I found everything in this photo! Red tray, Vintage hankie, 3 silver pieces AND a Vintage Julia Child cookbook all for less than $20. Happy girl :) Today was a good lesson in taking a second look. I was literally standing in line at the estate sale to purchase only the hankie when I saw the cookbook across the room. I oh-so- nonchalantly rushed over to grab it, thinking it must be a later edition. The cover is spotless and like many of the vintage ware I find doesn't appear to have ever been used!
Greetings Friends! Recently I accompanied a new friend to an estate sale and thrift store. Though Sandy admitted that shopping is not one of her favorite things, she really got into her first thrifting trip. I will confess I always get excited about my finds but I found it rewarding to see her enthusiasm! She asked questions about prices, the best times to shop and the best stores. I thought I would share some of the things we discussed:
Thank God it's thrifty Friday! I am always looking for unique garden art. I had my eye on this whimsical metal viola for some time at one of the stores I frequent. When it was marked down 70%, I knew I "needed" to have it! The mirrored window was a previous find and I think they make a lovely couple.

Hello Friends! My children inherited my love for Vintage finds and when Favorite Son was graduating and asked for a "retro" Polaroid and typewriter, I was quite the proud parent. With only a month to spare, there were no guarantees but I assured him I would do my best. The hunt was on...
