i may have mentioned that a time or two.
but in case you forgot i will remind you. i really really realllllyyyyy love vintage things.
it absolutely amazes me how things find their way back to being "cool" again. in the fashion world. in home decor. (do you think wallpaper borders will make a comeback?) i am learning to never say that i don't like something because it always seems to come back around and bite me in the behind. i proclaim i don't like the color purple and lo and behold a year later i have 5 purple shirts in my closet.
anyhoo. just wanted to show off a few things i have found thrifting lately:
 |
a hobnail vase.
( fyi: yvonne & renee this does NOT mean i have given up on mom's hobnail vase, mmm k? ) |
 |
| a darling pink pyrex casserole dish with daisy print (i'm thinking of watching for more vintage pyrex in various colors to stack up on some open shelves in my kitchen) |
 |
| an Aladdin plaid thermos... |
 |
| two in this pic: the wire bird basket and an adorable afghan |
 |
| this little guy is also nearing the vintage stage.... our oldest prays for him EVERY night to "stay healthy and strong" oh how i dread the day he leaves us and we have to break that girls heart. as much as i tire of cleaning up the dog hair we do love him ;) |
and related to all this i have put myself on a 30 day spending ban (
again... i did this in mid-september to mid-october and apparently it did not teach me anything long term). with the exception of buying Christmas gifts i will be refraining from making any non-necessity purchases. this really should not be so hard, right? right. i need to focus on USING the things i've picked up here and there. following through on all those projects i have in mind. that's the plan, stan! :)
Oh, look at all the pretties! Especially the old man gazing out the window at his misspent youth. That looks a lot like Mom's hobnail vase. I'm going to check her closets now. The green man would look really cute hanging off the lip of that vase, no? NO! It's NOvember. Remember that for your spending ban: NOvember. That goes for Mom's vase too! NOOOOOOOvember!
