Micheles Wedding pictures

 

I scream....We scream.....We all scream for icecream!!!!!

Don't you just love icecream?  Michele received an early birthday present, isn't it sweet?  Her birthday is just around the corner. This old sign almost got trashed but lucky for her it wasn't....I heard they were putting down new floors so I decided to stop by and ask about the sign..... the one Michele admired for years.  Lucky me ...the manager said she was going to throw it out because she bought new signs. I know it will look perfect in her future breakfast nook. This sweet sign also lights up!

Darling Bunnies

Aren't these little guys adorable?  We found these darling bunnies on etsy for $10.00. We just love them..Don't you?

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!

Have a lovely day,

Recent Thrift Finds

Hey, there!  Today we are going to share some of our thrift finds from this week.  We were lucky to find some great things!

We hope you enjoyed our finds.

Retro Chair Makeovers!

Hello, there!  We can't believe that it has been almost a month since our last post.  We have been working on so many projects and Grandmom Betty has been up to visit from Florida.  Here is a BIG project we have been working on and my oh my did these need some help!  We really think they turned out lovely! 

We got these three chairs off of Craiglist for $30.  One of the chairs is a rocker.

As you can see they were in bad shape with a lot of rust!

These chairs had 6 layers of paint!!  And there were also holes due to rust corrosion.

YIKES!  We used Bondo to repair the holes and it worked wonders! 

It took us a long time to strip all the paint off of these!  Then we used a wire brush drill extension to take off the rest of it.  We regret that we didn't take pictures when they were completely down to the bare metal because they were as shiny as a brand new quarter.  We were just trying to finish them before Grandmom Betty got here!

All primed and ready to go!

We still have to spray a shiny protective coat.  We just really are in love with these!

Next we are going to repair the cracks on our concrete porch and give it a makeover!

We hope that you all are having a great week!  We are going to try to catch up on some blogs now!!

Hugs,

Laura and Michele

 

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!

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!
