Vintage Me

Simply HAD to post again, to push down that picture of the toilet in the post below.

You may think that these are my latest thrift store finds.

If you thought that, you are wrong.

My sister and I spent last evening sorting through things at my dad's condo.

She came across these three vintage Pyrex bowls and the tablecloth.

I do not remember my mom having these.

But, as I am sure you know, I LOVE THEM!!!

And, I did do a fair amount of thrift shopping over the weekend. I've posted about that on my Simply Thrift blog www.simplythrift.blogspot.com

Look!

Okay. I must confess.

I DID spend some money thrift shopping on Saturday.

I spent one dollar on this valence, and two dollars for one twice as long for the other window.

I have an order filled out, I just needed to hit the 'send' button, for some lovely curtains from an on-line store I've always admired. But, I just could NOT hit send.

Now I won't have too. I like these just as well. Actually, even better.

I can no longer remember where this shelf used to be, I think in our other bathroom. But, I had some enamel ware I wanted in the kitchen, so I was somehow able to persuade THGGM to remove the vertical blinds and hang this shelf.

One down, one to go.

Now I'm not sure if the enamel ware is what I want up there - we will see. I have more of it. Somewhere.

And that little blue thingy hanging in the middle of the top of the bottom picture? It's the pull to the ceiling fan over the table. I just LOVE it. It came with the house.

Someday, the wallpaper will come down. I still haven't found the PERFECT color. I want yellow. Not lemony-yellow, not sunshiney-yellow - more of a buttery yellow. Something that will blend in with the blond cupboards,window trim and doors. And the icky-pooh gold floor.

We've talked in passing about redoing the kitchen. Someday. But for now, I'd rather do kiddy craft projects and rock sweet smelling sweaty babies than redo a kitchen. So, my guess is that our kitchen will look like this when we are 79 and finally own this place.

Just think! It will be even MORE vintage then!

A Good Day for Thrift Shopping

Look what I found today!

There I was, at my friendly neighborhood thrift store, and what should I find but a baby scale!

THGGM wasn't with me. He was at home, mowing the lawn.

I thought it might be hard to explain my purchase of a vintage baby scale to him, but, after thrity years of living with me, things like this no longer phase him.

I LOVE the graphics. The tray has a chart of 'What a girl should weigh' and 'What a boy should weigh'.

Now, just bring your babies to my house, and I will be happy to weigh them for you.
