Thrift Finds: No Kiddos Edition

Today two seeming rarities collided in my neck of the woods,

those being 1) It was a sunny day and 2) I had extended "me time,"

as my kiddos are in California visiting my parents.

So it was time to do a little thrifting!

(Although it's always time for that.)

I'll start with owls :)

This cute little guy is so cute.

I actually have another one like this already, 

but it has a teeny chip on one ear.

Now that I have two, I'll glue a little bow on the other one 

to make a Mr. and Mrs. Owl set.

And to hide the chip, of course ;)

I found two sets of these vintage owls.

They're cuter in person for some reason.

This isn't super old, but I liked the lettering.

And as you can see, it was only 25 cents.

Being that I love baking, I found this cup adorable.

It says "The happiest time I ever had was when I made another glad."

This little pile of wooden pieces have the cutest graphics.

I found them at an antique store, and there are seven total...everything from Abe Lincoln

to a ship to my favorite, the little doggie begging for scraps.

I also like the clown...does anyone know what they are for?

And being that I am always looking for vintage cowboy stuff

for my kiddos bedroom, I also loved these.

And by the same token, this :)

It's on the bigger side, too, which makes it great for using as a decoration.

I haven't bought old photographs for awhile, 

but I like these two Christmas-y ones.

I would love to have that Santa on my door!

And I love the little tinseled tree in this one.

My friend's little boy has a birthday coming up and I want to find a way

to use this cute wrapping paper! There isn't a lot of it,

and I'd kind of hate to use it just to wrap something. The irony, huh?

Here's some new things I found today.

Well, new meaning not vintage :)

An Ann Taintor mug for 50 cents.

Hecks yes.

This card struck me as really cute.

Ah, isn't cheap reading material the BEST?

I found a nice stack of my favorite magazines for 10 cents each--

Country Living, Mary Jane's Farm, and Bliss Victoria.

And I found a book I've been looking for too, at only a dollar.

(Yeah, there's no way I could finish it in the library lend out time, ha!)

4 hours of out-and-aboutness without worrying 

about being gone too long ;)

What a fun time!
