♥Thrift Store Finds♥

Hello! I'm excited to share this week's thrifting finds...

here they are:

I got all this from two thrift stores and one estate sale.

At one of the thrift stores, I bought (among other things)

four straw hats.

I felt a little embarassed, ha ha!

Like the clerk would think I was the crazy hat lady or something. 

But oh well! 

The first one I found to be very cute because it had

"Ponderosa Ranch" stitched on it. 

It looked old and so charming in a way!

Looking into it, it seems to be from the 50's.

I found this child's sheriff dress-up hat 

to be just as cute!

It has a string so it can be tied on.

Darling.

This is my new beach hat.

I never wore hats in California,

but there is something about the beach that demands one.

I found one for Addie too, so we can glue pretty things on it

and call it her "Fancy Nancy" hat.

This lunchbox was a great find, I think it is so adorable.

I can see why people would want to collect them.

Vintage cardboard birthday plates.

With a bit of the original package.

Bright and cheerful.

I love this vintage baby book for the illustrations.

I found an amazing one a while back that was similar,

except for a girl.

I've been finding a lot of "tinnage" lately :)

A vintage English candy tin--

love the bright colors!

...and even the scuffed bottom.

This small tin tray was way cool.

And a chocolate "Pollywogs" candy tin.

What a funny name for candy, huh? :)

This large serving plate by Mikasa caught my eye immediately.

Love the pattern.

A  Fondue dish towel.

This I found to be really somewhat strange and quirky.

A craft kit containing a Madonna head and plastic arms,

with instructions.

At the estate sale, we found a few of each kind

of these mason jars.

I love them.

Also there, these large old drawings.

The one of the woman seemed especially intriguing.

I like the detail used in drawing her clothing,

it's really beautiful.

An old owl pendant, with "Sue" engraved on it.

Even though my name isn't Sue...I still dig it ;)

I think I'll put it on a chain with some other baubles 

to sell in my shop.

While we're on the subject of owls, here are two more I bought.

Not named Sue, but still gold and still lovely.

They are ceramic, about 10 inches tall.

What a lovely pair, don't you agree?

That's it for me.

Hope you had fun thrifting this week!
