A Winner, Back to School, Some Recent Finds and a Makeover Project, I’m tired!

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. So good to hear from you all and I do appreciate your kind words. The winner of my Cath Kidston giveaway is, Carol from The Polka Dot Closet.

Wednesday was my kids first day back to school. My #1 girl is a senior this year and my favorite dude is a sophomore. As is our family tradition, I took their pictures before leaving the house this morning. Couldn’t get them together for one as they were ready to leave at different times.

Now for the fun vintage stuff. A couple weekends ago, I ventured out to the Oregon City Antique Fair and found some treasures.

These adorable vintage dresses were a steal.  They were from the dealer’s own children and she had great taste.

Here is my favorite.

A little wrinkled, but oh, so lovely!

And this little jacket was so sweet.

I love the little tag inside.

I also got a few bits and pieces.

Love this cute hat/wig box and ticking case.

My biggest purchase of the day was this cool gate leg table with bluish-gray paint. No picture, but trust me, it’s a cutie.

I got a call this week from Monticello to tell me I sold the buffet I had there. I had just purchased this hutch off of craigslist

I quickly gave it a makeover (okay, not so quickly, it took all day Wednesday to finish) and brought it into Monticello yesterday. Here’s what it looked like before I filled it up with goodies for sale.

I gave it a really distressed white finish and changed out the knobs to glass ones.  Personally, I don’t think I captured how cute it turned out, but I’m very happy with the results.

Speaking of Monticello, the Fall Premier Show starts today at 8am. I got a sneak peek yesterday and was amazed at all the cool stuff the vendors have brought in. In fact, I think this is the best show yet! You can get more information here, but I would definitely recommend that you check it out if you can. Have a great weekend!

I always get the urge to make dolls when I see the itty bitty clothes. LOVE! I will make some...eventually. ;)

I can't believe I have lived in Portland for 4 years and have never been to Monticello. I am SO going. Finally! ;)

I did find my way to the barn sale last year. What an amazing event! I felt like I was walking around in a magazine photo shoot. It was all so beautiful.

I loooooove that teeny pink chest. I must (no, MUST!) have one. (giggle)

That tag is really nice to wear with thoughts of mother. And those stone studded ear pieces are also really cool.
