Monday Update

On Friday I headed over to Monticello, just like I said I would. So glad I did as I found a big mess there. That usually means that stuff sold which is always a good thing. In fact, several things were gone including stuff that had been there quite awhile so I was doing a little happy dance right there in my booth.

I did bring a few new (old) things to restock my booth. Here's just some of the stuff I brought in.

Wallpaper rolls

Vintage folding cottage style chair with needlepoint seat.

Cute cottage style light fixture

Vintage button packs

Sweet chippy metal shelf

and finally, a country blue book shelf

Didn't do a lot on Sat/Sun. Some laundry, read another book, etc. Today (Monday) was the kids first day back to school, so I thought I would celebrate by going to a few nearby thrift stores. Here's what I found.

Cute vintage solid wood bed side table, adorable pink vintage baby book, old letter organizer, green tackle box, lamp shade and the most adorable ladies shoes bookends.Here's a close up. They are a little dirty and at first I passed them up, but went back and got them. They are so sweet and I've never seen anything like them.

A good friend, who shall remain nameless, invited Isabel and I over to shop in her garage on Friday. We were so tickled to be invited to this "private sale." We both found several things including these:

Three pieces of art made with vintage ephemera, a piece of vintage lace, a cast iron key, little kitty, silver card case and fuzzy chenille bees. But, my favorite find has to be this lovely hand painted tray.

That's it for me for now. I have projects galore swimming around in my head and I really need to get focused and get something done. I did make a trip to Home Depot to buy sand paper, paint and some rollers. Now all I need are a few days of nice spring weather and I can get busy. Happy Monday y'all!
