thrifting

i love going to thrift stores. i could spend hours in there rummaging through the things that other people considered to be "junk". it is amazing the kinds of things that people get rid of. fine by me though, then i can have them for super cheap. here are a few gems that i found lately...

aqua creamer. even though we don't drink coffee, i still had to have this. 
i love the color & the details. i will find something to use it for. if not, it can 
just look pretty in our kitchen. {$12}

this is my new favorite pitcher. i love the the color. i am so into blues lately. {$6}

Photobucket
crystal serving tray. i love the details on this. my grandma told
me this is an antique and that her aunt used to have one just like
it in the 50's. i will take her word for it. {$4}

Photobucket
i think this is my new obsession. old vintage glass sets. i prefer sets of six,
but i loved this set so much i bought it even though there was only four.
i can't wait to put these in our hutch. {$12}


Photobucket
adorable owl pillow. i couldn't believe it when i saw this. what a find. it is perfectly clean
and looks brand new. i knew it would go perfectly with the owl claire already
has in her room. now they can be friends. {$2}

I love finding things like that - I especially love the green goblets - I came so close to registering for some when Scott & I got married. I just may have to buy them 4 1/2 years later w/ the credit we still have from our wedding.

Did you find these at the antique store in Orange?

grandma g....the aqua creamer is from those shops in orange. i could have bought more from those shops, but we didn't have room in our car to bring it home!!

I love it! I love it all! I love 'thrifting' as you call it, too! I love finding treasures that have been pre-loved. And I'm totally into the vintage stuff right now too. Beautiful finds!
