Good morning and Happy Monday, y'all! I hope you had a nice weekend. I'm pretty excited to show you the treasure that I found thrifting last week. I confess, I haven't been much of a yard sale-er this summer and hardly much of a thrifter. But, I finally found something worth bringing home...all for $4!As soon as I walked in the door at one of my local thrift shops, I spied this vintage tiered dessert stand. {I restrained myself and calmly ...
Thrifty Treasures
Vintage Cookie Cutters
A few weeks ago, I was going through some boxes and found a set of vintage aluminum cookie cutters that belonged to my granny. I'm so thrilled to have found them again. Ridley's been asking if we can make cookies and for some reason, he thinks that it's Valentine's Day soon and we need to make heart-shaped cookies. Ha!This set of cookie cutters has a star, a heart, a diamond, a bell and a spade. I remember playing with granny's cookie ...

They are each a vintage piece of the Industrial Revolution.The spools are wonderful conversation pieces. As decorative items they ...

Vintage Milk Crate {And Other Finds!}
Until this past weekend, I hadn't been yard sale-ing yet this season, but I have been searching thrift stores, flea markets and antique shops looking for two specific pieces of furniture for the boy room makeover that I'm working on. I finally found the furniture that we needed last week. Woot!An estate sale ad {as well as a very sweet three year old} got me out of bed early on Friday morning, so we went treasure hunting. Needless to say it ...
