Last week I had a free morning without the girls, so my friends and I went out hitting some local thrifts. I think we all came away with a little something and I was totally jazzed about all my finds. I found a cool globe (my collection has grown to 18!), some vintage shoes, little metal frames, child wading boots, and a few other goodies. My favorites were the vintage child oxfords, which are so darn adorable, and the flower crocheted afghan, which I have been coveting since Rachel found one awhile back. I seriously felt like I hit the jackpot that day, probably kinda how Rachel and Heather feel every time they go thrifting, cause seriously, those ladies have such good luck!
I totally love good hunting days! Now I am itching to go the flea market, especially since a vendor has something that I am waiting to pick up, but I have to be patient as I have a few more weeks until that comes around.
I have noticed I am not really in nesting mode. I was frantically cleaning my house a few months ago and feeling the pressure to get everything ready, but not so much these days. Maybe it is cause my focus these days is at least to keep my head above water. Maybe nesting will hit me again soon because I really want to get motivated to clean my house. We have got a baby to prepare for!
Lovely finds! That afghan is oh, so charming! I hit the jackpot at an estate sale last weekend myself. I'm delighted with my fabulous $1 lamp and am still kicking myself for setting down that fabulous vintage blanket for someone else to snatch up while I decided whether or not to buy it… Such is life, I suppose. : )
Those shoes! Goodness me, I love those shoes.
Can't believe those finds!!! The shoes are adorable! and the globe! wow!! Lucky girl!
total score!!!!! those shoes are perfect! i found a white pair for pip but they are not in as good of a condition as those!!!
TWO pairs of shoes?? matchee matchee!!
Love your finds! Can I seriously call dibs on your vintage kid stuff for when I have kids? Unless your sisters/Lin want it first, they would trump me! 😉
Oh how I wish I could go thrifting as often as you! Either you have incredibly good shopping out there or are an incredibly good thrifter, but you always come away with such amazing deals! I love it all!
What great finds! I'm totally crushing on that globe and those shoes!
Great finds! I am so in love with that globe 🙂
oh, i definitely know that feeling! pure shopping euphoria!
I love your finds, and so happy to see that you have some free time to enjoy what you love 🙂
May I say, that I love everything :)?!
Glad you taking some time off & pampering yourself.
Love you crocheted afghan. I also found a vintage one & posted on my blog. I must say it is your fault on this one to get me hook (just kidding..) hahaha.
We don't have too many thrift/flea market around here…you're very very lucky.
Great finds, I really like the globe!
What awesome finds!! The shoes are so cute!
Such lovely findings! You're sooo lucky!
loving the globe! great finds!
I love old vintage globes! Do you have the 18th you have just around the house or what do you do with them?
chaucee- yes, all of them are displayed throughout the house!
