Friday's Finds

Happy Monday!
How was your weekend? Mine was busy playing house. I drove up to the up north house {i need a better name for it than that!} and spent the weekend making up beds and loading in supplies. It was heaven♡
I did manage to sneak in a couple of estate sales on the way home. Oh! and i discovered Hobby Lobby! How come you never told me how a-maz-ing this place was? O. K maybe you did, and i just wasn't paying attention.
I couldn't pass up this darling silhouette. Too sweet!


Then there was this awesome stool. A little paint ,and she's perfect for my kitchen.


More stuff i couldn't pass up. The reamer is going up north for lemonade this summer, and you already know how much i love these vintage books! These old tags are worthy of printing. I'll scan them soon, so you can snag a copy for yourself!


Two enameled bowls that have seen better days- more reason to love them.


Keys, keys, keys.
Nuf said.


But the best for last! This beautiful ironing board. And to make it even sweeter... it was only 12 dollars. Yup, i got it on the last day of a sale at 50% off. Love it even more.

I was thinking it would make a great sofa table for behind this couch. Load it up with photo's, books, and vintage junkies { Sorry for the poor quality iphone photo} This is our family room up north. It's a nice open room off the kitchen, with a stone fireplace and amazing views of the water. This darling screen door welcomes you right in.


When i walked in the kitchen, i was greeted with these homemade candles. Our painter and his wife make them together!. They're soy, and smell wonderful.
I cant wait to get back up there and play some more! Next time i'll bring the good camera and will be able to share with you what we're working on.

Tomorrow we leave with Ms. A and her forensics team, for Dallas, Texas, for their National Forensics Tournament. Think it's gonna be a little warm...and busy...and nerve racking. But fun!


Happy Monday to you!

Gaia Friday(even though it's Tuesday)






I'm feeling just a step behind this week. I meant to post this on Friday and here Tuesday has snuck up on me. I've been nursing a sore tooth that turns out, after a trip to the dentist, needs a root canal. Oh, the words 'dental work' fill me with pure terror. Let's not talk about it...any hoo, i hit a great estate sale on Friday. The weather was beautiful and the prices amazing. It really gets to me when the people running these garage and estate sales get all jiggy with their pricing. We're talking used stuff. Not museum quality collectables nor ebay where prices are driven by demand.(O.K. getting off my soap box) I've been looking for a small laundry basket to keep in the laundry room and i fell in lust with an industrial looking one i spotted in Martha's magazine. When i went on line it was $77 plus $22 to ship it! Yikes! So when i saw this basket for $10 at the sale, i knew it was meant to be. I did the 'woo hoo, i just snagged a deal' dance (yes, i have a dance for everything) plus i added to my button obsession and found a darlin' mirror. Oh, and let us not forget the awesome tray or this amazing moth pin (i do like my bugs) Thank you lovely estate sale lady : ) How was your day?
