Thrift store therapy

I think my kids have come to love thrift and antique stores as much as I do!

{especially my son, William}  He is always happy to join me on the hunt for cool treasures.  I love that he appreciates things that have a history and the people who owned them.

It has been a fun summer doing all the things we love - including some thrift store therapy!

Here are some finds on a recent junkin' jaunt to various thrift stores.

This is my first piece of jadeite - a simple square dish.  I am not sure what I am going to use this sweet one for yet.  I love all of the sewing bits!

Check out the french gentleman toothpick holder.  I am definitely using him to store my corsage pins!

The architectural salvage bullseye was pretty neat too!  It makes the perfect base for a glass cloche with whatever treasure you want to display underneath.

Shabby sweet rose dishes with Japan figurine

Hobnail milk glass lamp {swoon!}, crochet potholders and HULL vase {picked for $3!}  I love finding such wonderful deals!

This pic does not do justice for the brilliant blue of these crinkle patent slingback flats.  The best part - they are brand new and never worn!!

La Mode picture.  I guess you could say I am becoming a collector of these.  I have a few in my bathroom.  Something about vintage fashion is so inspiring to me.

This old Rx bottle is the perfect canvas for an embellished bottle project.  I have been collecting a few of these for one of those girlfriend craft sessions.

I would love to hear about your favorite thrift store finds!

See you on the junkin' trail Sugah!
