Happy December! This year has flown by, it's been a good year! I'm now a blogger! I am learning so much and have met so many great and talented fellow bloggers! I am a collector,thrifter and lover of many vintage items. So in honor of the holiday season I would like to share some new sweets with you!

Hello!

Hello!

I cannot say how excited I am to be blogging again! It's been almost a month! Gavin and I just figured out how to add images from my ipad2, I think images or pics make the post! My computer that I normally use is still broken. The pic I'm posting is my mother in-law Ellen's kitten! His name is Rocky! He is so precious! Look at him snoozing! Ellen adopted Rocky and his sister Molly moon at 8 weeks. The kittens were left at the steps of a vetranerian's office at only a few weeks! Some people! The babies were bottle fed untill they could eat on their own. Ellen's friend worked at the office and thought of Ellen right away, Ellen has a love for cats and dogs!

Yesterday I worked half a day which was great for a Friday! After work I headed right to the thrift store! This thrift store is huge, I'd have to say it's bigger than a Goodwill! I head straight the kitchen items (Pyrex)! I see two amazing pieces! They were in great shape and good prices! Smiles!

I next proceed to the book area, in search of children's books! I was in luck, I found about 12 excellent condition, hard cover books! Also priced right at $1.00 each!

I do a quick run through the linens, and then to check out!

I had a lunch date with my mother! Which was much needed! She works the weekend and I work Monday through Friday so it becomes difficult to get together! It was fun we both had breakfast! A favorite of ours!

I will post the pics in the next post!

Happy weekend!

Happy Sunday!

Today is a lazy Sunday for me but a happy one! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Yesterday I went thrifting with with a friend in West Hartford, it was a beautiful day! This weekend in Connecticut is Indian Summer! The weather is Sunny and Warm, it looks like its going to extend into the beginning of the work week! Smiles ;o) ! Today I'd like to share some recent finds from estate sales, thrift stores and flea markets! I went to this estate sale and it was like a museum, the homeowner was a doctor and he and is wife had amazing items in their home!

I didn't alot of time or money, but I enjoyed it! At this estate sale I bought a pair of vintage linen place mats!They're ever so sweet!

We have a small kitchen table that I plan to place them!

I found this lovely tablecloth and ric rac at a favorite thrift store!

This sweet stationary is from Current also from the estate sale.

A little vintage embroidered glasses case!

This beautiful vintage glass pitcher found for $5 at a flea market!

Half apron from thrift store!

I always love to find pyrex!

Me too! vintage book 25cents at Salvation Army! ;)

That's all! Hope your enjoyed as I do picking through your finds!

Happy Sunday!

Hello!

I just love thrifting! Paying low prices,bargaing sometimes and the fun of hunting! These are a few things I recently picked up and haven't yet posted! They are from an amazing estate sale and a great Goodwill find! I hope you like!

I'd consider this med.-lg. I think it's so unique. No name on bottom. My Goodwill find!

 My estate finds!

 A favorite of mine. It adds to my pink pyrex collection! 2.5q in size

 So so cute! Great color, As I carefully cleaned it with dish soap and a sponge, some of the paint came of the poor horse.;(

 In package are at least 20 different little coasters. Beautiful box of various vintage greeting cards. Pretty vintage ribbon. Vintage pins!

Good night all,
Carly
