Last Weekend Finds

Last weekend I decided to work on Saturday to get caught up. I havent been to the thrift store over there in forever, so I decided the kids & I (I took Blake and Layla to work with me!) could stop real quick. And I'm glad we did! I didnt get a ton of things, but I am happy with what I did get. These frames will obviously get a coat of paint!

Check out these pillow cases, I love the colors!

And my favorite find, another piece of Taylor, Smith & Taylor Boutonniere! I always seem to find a piece, but only at this store.

I love love the blue inside.

Mike already got his Father's Day gifts. He always seems to get stuff early ;). We have ribs cooking in the smoker and are going to have smoked corn & cornbread along with it tonight. And tomorrow is lasagna. Lots of yummy food this weekend!

Adding to the collections

I know I haven't posted lately. I guess I've just been busy. Soccer is wrapping up, only one game left. Been working over some, too. And I know it's been a while since I posted anything vintage. None of these finds were that recent, I havent been to the thrift since before Halloween.

But when I went, I found MORE Taylor, Smith & Taylor Boutonniere!

ALL of it so far has come from the same thrift. I have 3 large plates, 4cups, 2 saucers & 2 small plates so far. I also found this Pyrex mug at the Catholic Thrift.

On the last trip to the Catholic Thrift, I found an addition to the wooden-handled utensil collection. I was told this is a knife sharpener. It's also the first piece I've found with a yellow handle. I think all of my other stuff is red.

I also found another piece of matte white pottery. I don't have nearly as much as some of you bloggers out there, but I'm catching up as I find it! This is such an odd shaped piece to me. But I just love the aqua color inside! It's Haeger.

Things have been going pretty good though. I am about 23 weeks along now. Finally starting to show instead of just looking fat! But I can still wear some of my regular clothes. I'm slowly transitioning into maternity clothes. My house is clean and I am relaxing right now. I have been putting off mixing up dough for some non-edible gingerbread ornaments, and I am running out of time! I made them for the soccer team last year and am planning on doing it for both teams this year. I better get busy!

Anyway, have a great weekend!

New Goodies

I know I haven't really shared much of anything vintage-related lately. But last week I went to the thrift in search of frames for several different projects. I found my frames, but look what else! Three, count them, THREE plates in the pattern I have been looking for! Boutonniere, from Taylor, Smith & Taylor. They match this cup here.

And a few weeks ago, Mike surprised me with this, but he won't tell me where he got it from!

I also ordered this yummy fabric off of Etsy. I just love those apples! And how cute is the Halloween one?

Did you know that Michael's not only has Halloween stuff out, but they also have Christmas stuff? Silk flowers, ribbons, picks, the Christmas village stuff and a whole aisle of wood crafts and ornaments to make. A little early, don't you think? Anyway, I found these adorable little picks for $.59 I believe. I love the glittery-ness!

And don't you think this little guy would work great for Halloween, too?
