New Clock
Sometimes you have to go back to an estate sale, because there is something there that you can’t stop thinking about. Luckily for me, this pretty guy was still waiting for me to take him home from the epic 60s estate sale–and he was an extra 20% off. Now I just need to figure out [...]
Some Finds
Today was an epic estate sale-ing day. I went to two sales, the first far better than the second. The first was over 30 minutes away, and I wanted to get there first thing because I saw a picture of a Gemma Taccogna pin cushion, and I was determined to make her mine. Well, when [...]
Some Recent Finds
Lately I have been checking Craigslist every morning for estate sales. This morning I was beyond delighted when I learned of a monthly antiques and collectibles show going on just a few miles from my home. How have I not heard of this before? It wasn’t a very big show, but there were definitely some [...]
A Little Starburst and Other Finds
Yesterday’s thrift finds. 1. Two platters. First unmarked (anyone know what it is?), second Franciscan Starburst 2. Vintage 60′s dress 3. Globe! I must say, I have had quite a bit of lucky at the thrift store lately. The night before last I was browsing etsy and ebay looking at the starburst pattern, feeling sorry [...]
Some new Heywood Wakefield
I have been known to get messages from the thrift stores. I don’t know how to describe it other than a strong urge or pull to go to one particular store, where I always score big. These differ from my casual, eh, I feel like perusing a bunch of junk, because they are intense and [...]
My Cypress Knee
If you follow me on twitter or instagram (username misscedar for new ig-ers), you probably already heard plenty about my latest thrift find–my new cypress knee! I have been slightly obsessed with cypress knees since I was a young girl. One of my aunts has the most incredible mid century cypress knee lamp (which looks [...]
Some Recently Thrifted Things
The title says it all. I think I have had some pretty good thrift luck lately.
Birthday Shopping
Tomorrow is my birthday. 29 years old. For some reason I keep getting ahead of myself and have 30 in my head. Maybe this is a good thing, I have a year to prepare for the big 3-0. Anyway, I wanted to buy some stuff today. All the Christmas shopping I have (or haven’t) been [...]
Some Recent Finds
Yesterday I packed Lucy into the car around 8:30 and we headed out to some estate sales. I have been trying to go as much as possible, because I know my estate sale-ing Fridays are numbered. When she gets to the walking stage I doubt I will be able to hit many sales. For now [...]
Sunshine Dress
I had a doctors appointment this morning, where I was happy to find out that baby is measuring right on size. She isn’t a giant, yet, I am just being paranoid about the whole thing. It is hard not to though, especially since I just found out from my aunt that my grandpa was a [...]
