I found this beautiful vintage book about indoor plants at the thrift store today. It's from the 1970's. In this case, you can judge a book by its cover! The illustrations are amazing. I'm almost tempted to frame some of these pages. I think I may do a little plant shopping this weekend...
If you are a plant lover, I have recently added more macrame plant hangers to my shop. I've designed a new hanger for smaller plants/pots.
Have a great weekend!

Today I woke up to the sound of school buses. Yes, the first day of school has arrived. My little one is only three, so not for us. That day will be here before I know it....
We enjoyed a quiet neighborhood today and time outside on the slip-n-slide. Yes, it's still hot enough to use it. I'm so ready for the cooler temps of fall!

I had a good day thrifting! I went to the vintage toy sale, but most of the toys were just too expensive. Darn. A lot of great Fisher Price toys. I did find a vintage Francie (1960's) doll for $45 which I passed on. Now I wish I would have splurged on her. But I'm happy with what I found above. Meyorcord decals, vintage fabric, a vintage tablecloth, Crazy 8 cards, a vintage PJ doll, a 1939 kids dictionary and a bunch of kids books. 
I'm looking forward to a little more thrifting tomorrow and then a "date night" with the hubby. I can't wait for some margaritas.

A quick post (nap time is almost over) to share part of what I bought at the thrift stores this morning. Vintage Pyrex, vintage wallpaper, and vintage children's books. Oh, the books- they deserve a separate post. I found some great ones. 
Have a great weekend!

It was a good day at the thrift stores today. I was so excited about finding that 60's cocktail dress for only $3.00, but when I got home I noticed some bad underarm stains. Darn!

I went to a thrift store yesterday that I haven't been to in quite a while. The only thing I've bought there in the past was embroidery hoops. But I'm glad I stopped yesterday. Look at what I found- I'm so surprised. I can't resist a cute pedestal mug. I must have at least a dozen of those. I should probably take a photo of my collection sometime. I'd like to cut out the bunny in the card and decoupage it on something. Overall, decent finds for only $3.00!

Hello June. I hope you are an easier month than May. May was full of change, suffering, stress, and death. But there were also a-ha moments, inner growth, and a special birthday. I hope to have a little fun this month!

I've found two of these Patchwork and Quilting (1977) books at thrift stores in the past few days. Love the bookcover alone, but there are some cool projects inside. After looking at this book, I'm starting to like big, puffy, high-loft quilts. I think I may try that with vintage sheets in the future. Groovy!
