Biggest thrifting haul ever!

Happy September ! Can not believe we're approaching autumn! It's so hard to say goodbye to summer. In the northeast we seem to have such short summers and long winters. ;( Oh well, I do enjoy the four seasons. It's what my hubby and I grew up with and I want our babies to have it too! Speaking of the babies they are approaching 10 months! It's unbelievable! Baby Ella and baby James will be a year old in November. Time to starting thinking about birthday party ideas!

Let me get back to my love of thrifting! On Thursday evening, I generally check out Craig's list and the local newspapers online for tagsales and estate sales. I found one that really caught my eye, a church tag sale with brilliant pics of sweet items! I planned on making a stop at this sale! So time to share my haul! ;D

I'll start with what I thrifted for myself. Lovely vintage glasses, two sweet sets of four! They make me smile!

About a year ago I found a set of these drinking glasses in pink and white, so sweet! Here they are at Pink thrift http://swtvintagelove.blogspot.com/2012/01/pink-thrift.html

 

The remaining items are for my lil ones.

 

Love the primary colors for this kitchen area!

 

Sweet pull toys!

 

Love cloth books for the babes! Lovely stacking toys.

 

Look at this adorable lil bunny,has a zipper on the bottom. Ella and James love puppets!

Huge score! Gotta love fisher price!

 

This moma loves children's books and illustrations!

Love maisy books for infants and toddlers!

Lastly

Thanks for checking out my blog, I love reading your comments!

Have a great week!

Summer thrifting!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by, I love visitors, followers and your lovely comments! I would have to say my favorite hobby would be thrifting! How great is it when you can furnish/ decorate your home for a fraction of the cost or clothe your children! Or yourself! I remember growing up my grandmother saying "waste not want not" or "make it do or do without" she was very frugal! She grew up during the depression, so I understand! One of my favorite childhood memories is tag saling with my mother! I remember really enjoying the time we spent together treasure hunting!

Here are some treasures I'd like to share that I've actually found with my little lovebugs!

 

How cute is this vintage dustpan and brush!

 

How about this sweet kitty washing and this little duckling!

 

Vintage chick measuring cups which need a good delicate washing!

 

Linens (vintage) are a favorite of mine!

Vintage Christmas Elfs!

 

How unique is this lil mood barometer?

I did make it to the Brimfield antique and flea market!

Here is my beautiful family!

 

 

 

My sweet babies!

Thrifting haul for my babies!

Hope everyone's summer is bringing them much joy! We had a busy independence holiday weekend! We took the twins to the seashore for the first time! They absolutely loved it. As we did too, seeing the smiles and curiosity! <3 We also enjoyed family bbq's! Good family fun!

I have had the opportunity to find some treasures for the babies, which has been fun! When I thrift I generally bring them with me. So I guess you could say I'm starting them early! Ella and James enjoy flea markets! We get lots of visitors as we shop the market! We have been to the elephant trunk in New Milford, CT, Stormville flea market in NY,and I think we'll be venturing out to Brimfield, MA for the antique show and flea market weather permitting Saturday!

Here are a few pics I'd like to share!

These were found at thrift stores. Left to right Fun soft blocks,fisher price horse pull toy (1976)and colorful fun foam blocks! All together under $10!

 

 

 

Wooden puzzles were found at the elephant trunk for $5. Vintage rattle $1 at Savers thrift store. Second hand books at Goodwill!

Don't ya just love a bargain! Sweet things for my lil lovebugs! Happy thrifting! I recently started Instagram which I love it's so quick and easy! If anyone wants to check me out I am- Swtvintaglove

So happy for the warmer weather here in Connecticut! It feels like Spring! I've had my babies out enjoying the weather for the past five day! I've been snapping lots of pics that I'm looking forward to posting very soon!

I wanted to share these lovelies that I've picked up thrifting! I was so lucky to find these Beatrix Potter items at Goodwill!

 

 

I found this sweet kitty light plate at a tag sale! Is it the cutest thing?

I also found these lovely baby books! Beatrix Potter unused and this tiny baby girl baby book. It's almost 100 years old! Also unused!
