On the Hunt

Today my husband and I spent most of the day in a marathon Etsy preparation session, taking pictures of all sorts of goodies for the shop! (all of which will hopefully be up very soon)

We needed a break midway through, so we headed down to the antique mall. I found all sorts of goodies to share with you...that place was seriously huge. There was no way I could have seen everything in just one quick trip!

How lovely is this little girl's dress? 

Although I would have no use for it, this typewriter is stylin'.

A dreamy color combo for this dishware! 

This box had moss and real tiny bird's eggs in little compartments!!! I wanted to buy it so badly, but it was 60 bucks!

Love this metal bed frame! 

Most of the booths had one or two pieces of glassware in these styles, but then we found one that was the holy grail! It had zillions of these types of cups, pitchers, etc! I'd love to fill my kitchen with these.

Made of feathers! So cute!

 

Most of these lovelies didn't come home with us, since we're trying to save money. However, we did stumble upon something absolutely gorgeous that I couldn't live without!

 It's a little birdcage music box! When you open the drawer, the bird swings back and forth and plays a little tune! I just love it so much, and we got an amazing deal on it because the dealer happened to be in the booth when we were looking. Twas truly an awesome antiques day.

See you soon <3

A few of my favorite things

Thrifting stuff for my house can be difficult. I try not to aquire too much dishware and such, as I don't have a lot of storage. It's so tempting to get every adorable plate/cup/bowl I find. So far I've mostly been able to resist, but I do have a few things I thought you'd enjoy.



My great grandma had powder that smelled just like this when I was growing up. Whenever we'd get out of the bath she'd let us have one puff of powder from the big fluffy thing inside. The smell really takes me back, and I admit I only open it every once and a while when I'm feeling nostalgic. :)



I love this "Nuts" to You bowl. Oh my goodness. Every time I look at it I burst out laughing.



My mom got my this for Christmas. It's a cute little vinyl box that opens to hold some treasure. She said she had a similar one when she was younger.



She also got me this handmade glass box. Not really thrifted, I spose, but it's still really beautiful! Also these resin pendants came from etsy for my high school proms.

See you soon!
