Somewhat Recent Finds

First, I want to say thank you for the birthday wishes! We went out to eat at Outback Steakhouse with his parents. Yay for steak! And of course, his mom told the waitress that it was our birthday, so we got that wonderful song and some free ice cream.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a few recent finds! It's hardly ever too cold here to hold a yardsale, so there isnt really much of an off-season. If anything, winter is more yardsale season than summer. Florida summers can be unbearable! This is a mixture of yard sale & thrift store finds.



These birds are pretty ugly in gold (at least I think so!)

But much better painted white for Morgan's party!

Another insulator for my collection.

You can't go wrong with Pyrex! I have a larger bowl of this pattern on my shelf at work.

And I LOVE this one!

This little owl was too cute to pass up.

I love these old cutters, and I didnt have a circle one, so yay for useful finds!

I always see all of you posting your amazing vintage Christmas finds, and I never seem to find any! Well, I finally did, at a charity yardsale at my kids' school. The teenage daughter of Blake's 1st grade teacher was critically injured in an apartment fire in NYC. She was burned very badly trying to rescue her cousin, who sadly, died in the fire.

I also found this at the same sale. It's vintage! And says Kromex on the bottom. I am debating painting it white, I'm not sure though. I found another piece from Kromex awhile back.

I kind of like the shiny chrome color, but there are a few spots like this...

And the little ball looks like this...

So, what do you think? Paint, or no paint? I plan on using this at Morgie's party, too.

Im linking this up to the new season of Today's Thrifty Treasures at Southern Hospitality!
