A Thrifty DIY

I recently found this mid-century magazine rack at a yard sale for 75 cents. I gave it a fresh coat of enamel paint, and now it’s the perfect place for my children’s spring books.

Vintage Florida

Living in Florida almost my entire life, I am always excited to find vintage Florida items. This shot glass is from a Ft. Lauderdale shopping center. It is a fun find.

The back reads LADIES, MEN, HOG. haha.

Meet Jean & Sandy

Smitten. That is the only word I have to describe my feelings for Jean & Sandy. Who is Jean & Sandy you ask? Why they are the vintage wall pockets I found at the flea market today for a steal. Just $35 for the pair. There are two sets on Ebay right now, and one set starts @ $75 and the other is priced @ $150. I love them so much, and can’t wait to hang them on my kitchen wall.

It Was a Good Day

I found so many treasures while thrifting today.

Pretty yellow bird planter.

Two cake stands for my wedding cakes. Not pictured, a white milk glass stand.

Pretty fall serving dishes.

A little starburst vase.

I just adore this vintage purse. It’s a shiny taupe on the outside, and I was excited to see the pretty yellow and orange floral print on the inside. Found at Salvation Army for $3.99.
