What We Found This Weekend!

This weekend the thrift stores and yard sales seemed to be chock full of Christmas stuff already!  We of course don't mind finding some Christmas goodies but there wasn't much Halloween/Fall/Thanksgiving goodies to be found!

We found another set of salt and pepper shakers to add to our Christmas shaker collection!  They are just too cute and will look lovely with the rest of our sets! 

We found this plastic santa which has the cutest little face!

This Santa wall plaque is so adorable with his rosy cheeks and a hint of silver in his beard!  We don't know the maker but it does say Made In Japan.  He will look great in our kitchen this Christmas!

We found this strand of foil Christmas lights, we couldn't believe they all worked!

Flea Market Finds and Some Fall Decor

Hello, there strangers!  We have been working on some really fun Fall projects, but we are in working on a bunch at the same time!  So you know that means we haven't quite completed any yet...Soon enough!  We started putting out some of our Fall decor...We are so ready for Fall and the weather has been sunny but nice and cool...It really is great after the Summer that we had and we just love Fall!  We also have a couple finds to share...

We found this adorable Sunnie Miss Toaster at the Flea Market yesterday...We have been wanting one for a long time...It's too cute!  This Kewpie doll we found at a Flea Market a while back and the little treat bag we found at a thrift store.  We are in the middle of making the Kewpie doll a Halloween costume...Yes, we are silly like that!  :)



This is part of our hutch which isn't done being decorated since we just started getting our Halloween decor from the attic...

We have a few different trays that we trade out with the season.  We love how this tray warms the place up!

We found this old milk bottle and this very cool Tonka dump truck at two different Flea Markets a couple weekends ago...The milk bottle is straight from the Garden State! 

A closer look at the milk bottle with its neat cowboy decal...It says "STAY ON TOP with AMERICA'S #1 FOOD MILK".  It will look lovely with some flowers especially a few stems of sunflowers.

Here is a cool Junior Cook Book with a pretty gingham cover and an adorable graphic...The refrigerator booklet looks so sweet with the daughter helping her mother and their matching hairdo's and outfits!  We also love jam jars, and have a small collection going.  We love this little strawberry and couldn't pass it up at the thrift store!

These Boots Are Made For Walking

All over the thrift stores, that is!!  Hello, again!  How is your week going?  It has been hot and humid all week...ahh Can't wait for Friday!!  Although it is supposed to be 100 not counting the humidity!  We need to get some painting done on some outdoor RETRO : ) furniture we picked up off of Craiglist...Hopefully we can get a lot accomplished after work tomorrow!  Any how...We wanted to share more recent thrift finds...

We love this cowboy boot!

This is a pillow sham cover that just wasn't finished being sewn, but the deer is so darling.  We are going to finish it up and put it in our living room.

We always love a good Christmas ornament...Because you can never have too many, right? ; )

Isn't this just the cutest?  So kitschy!

Happy Thursday to you all!

This Is A Hoot!

Hello, there.  Sorry that it has been a while since we posted.  Busy, busy!  We have some things to show you today.  First up is a furniture makeover we just finished.  We got this piece of furniture from a thrift store for $25, it is solid wood.  We didn't get a picture with the drawers since we were so eager to start!  As you can see this had a lot of scuffs and knicks...

With a lot of sanding and hard work this was restored to it's original beauy...

We are very pleased with the way it turned out!

We also wanted to share two recent thrift finds...

This adorable owl lamp...The light works, we love this!!

And a picture of two sweet owls...We need to get matting for this frame...The picture is just so sweet and colorful!

We have more upcoming projects that once completed we will be sharing!

Have a great week,

Laura and Michele

A Blast From The Past, 1970s Style!

Hello, there.  We have some great finds from this weekend from the thrift stores and yard sales.  All our finds seem to have a theme: 1970s!  We sure found some neat things!

We love these Sears Roebuck "Merry Mushroom" mugs that we found at a yard sale, they are from 1978.  We have been looking for the canisters that go with these.  We have two so far!  They are so cute and kitschy!  Our owl collection goes well with them.


















A new addition to our owl collection found at a yard sale...Aren't they adorable?

We were lucky to find this apron at a thrift store.  The stitching is beautiful, and we love yellow gingham!

This darling fawn is an etsy find.  We got her for a great deal, and she looks sweet with our deer collection.

This next find is very unique.  We don't really know much about this, but it is a bank.  How cool and retro!

Our Latest Finds!!

Hello, there!  Are you all having a lovely week?  Have you found any goodies at the thrift store lately??  We have been finding some great goodies lately!   

We found this adorable doll trunk at a thrift store!  Isn't it so sweet with it's little kitty design?!



And who could pass up this sweet lamb planter...Also found at the same thrift store...It was our lucky day!

We found this pyrex creamer and sugar bowl at a yard sale for 50 cents!  We have the matching tea cups!  These will be great for over the winter!

This little bunny planter is so darling, and we couldn't leave it behind!

Have a great day!

Hey, there!

Hello!  Did you all have a lovely holiday?  We are just stopping in quickly today to show you all our recent pyrex finds.  We actually found these two pieces of the Spring Blossom print in seperate thrift stores within days of each other.  We know some of you aren't crazy about the avocado color, but we think it is a great color for the Fall.

Recent Thrift Finds

Hello, there!  It's hard to believe that it has been almost two weeks since we last posted!  We have had some luck at the thrifts lately and also at a rummage sale this past weekend.  We couldn't wait to show all of you, of course! 

Look at these tins!  Aren't they darling?  There are no markings on them, does anyone know what pattern or brand they are?

These two pitchers are so pretty!  Again, no markings.  We look forward to using them this Spring and Summer! 

We found this pyrex bowl at Goodwill for only $2.99!  It's in great condition, and will be great for fall dinners.

This is just too cute!  We couldn't pass it up. 

We also scored these Nancy Drew books.  They are from the 1960s-1970s.  We were really excited about this find!

We will be showing more finds later this week! 
We hope that you all are having a great Monday.

Weekend Thrift Finds

Hello, there!  Did you all have a lovely weekend?  The weather was very Spring-like this weekend.  We spent our Saturday running to our favorite thrifts, surprisingly there were no yardsales to be found!  We found some goodies at the thrifts, though.

These plates were found at the new thrift.  We did some searches on them but nothing came up.  They were made in Japan and look like they are from the 1970s.  They were all taped together so we thought that they all said snacks, but we were happily surprised that they were all different! 

We couldn't get over how cute this little shelf (or spice rack?) is!!

These bunny pictures are just so sweet, we snatched them up quick!

This tree topper is in great condition and is from Woolworths. 

On a side note:  Woolworths went out of business in 1997 (in the US).  Also...Foot Locker is run by the same company.  : )

Lastly, we have a set of six pretty Christmas cocktail napkins...        

We hope that you all are having a great week so far!

Exciting Thrift Finds!

Hello, there!  How is your week going?  We have been so busy!  We have finished some projects and have yet to get pictures of them!  We hit some thrift shops this weekend, and two yardsales.  A new thrift store opened up closeby!  The Grand Opening was this weekend!  This new thrift store is also right by the Goodwill and another thrift store that we frequent.  We have seen the Coming Soon signs for a while now and have been patiently waiting, luckily we were going to the Goodwill and the other thrift and saw all the balloons!  We ended up buying three goodies from there, but didn't take pictures yet!  Anyway, we have been meaning to show you some things that we have found recently.

We rarely ever find Pyrex at the thrift stores!  And imagine our surprise when we found one of our favorite prints...We were so excited, and smiling ear to ear!!  Ahh...The simple things that make us happy!  

This print is another favorite...We found it at the same thrift!!  Both are in such great condition.

We found this sweet strawberry spoon rest at Goodwill...

We were so happy to find this adorable owl ornament, we just love owls!  Speaking of owls, we have several owl things that we have yet to show on our blog.  The tiny wreaths from Woolworths will be a great addition to a project we have been working on since before Christmas!  We love the colors of the Christmas coasters from Hallmark...   

We just love the kitsch feel of this squirrel and peanut!

We hope you all are having a lovely week,

Laura and Michele
