I only hit up one thrift store this week, instead focusing on organizing the beast mess in my apartment and working on everything else I needed to get caught-up on! I scooped up a couple of things I'd been wanting for during the President's Day Sale. You'll remember the kitty tin from my first What I Didn't Buy (at the Thrift Store) post!
This adorable Jr. Miss Knitting Basket has all the original pieces intact! I love the very 50s illustrations. I did a vintage trade with my friend Nicole to obtain this one and the kitchen notebook below. I enjoyed using my dollar store magic eraser to clean it from beige to bright white!
I've always liked vintage tv trays like this. I bought this one to add some levels to my antique store booth.
This suitcase isn't technically a thrift find from the week. I "rediscovered" it while cleaning out my hallway closet. It's filled to the brim with copy paper. I knew that paper was around here somewhere!

And here we have the cute Sanrio tin I shouldn't have bought. But it was on clearance, how could I resist?
This rainbow blanket with purple Fringe was a fun find, too. I love it as a backdrop for pictures.
It's another Yuko-approved blanket! Remember, everything pictured is for sale! Send me an e-mail if you'd like anything in this post. It would help me hit my organization goals for the week! ;)
What did you find this weekend?

Even Yuko?!? looks like a good weekend haul...and I'll take the kitty ;)
ReplyDeleteOh no, but then I won't have a fuzzy roommate anymore!
DeleteFun finds! I am still trying to wash mine from the weekend so very impressed you have yours already photographed! The little sewing box is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI usually have my photographed ahead of time, this time I didn't get to it until this morning! Bad me. I've gotten in the habit of washing and tagging items for sale as soon as I get home.
DeleteHow much for the cat ;)
ReplyDeleteMake me an offer. You might bring her back after you see her run around the house like a maniac. She's crazy sometimes.
DeleteThe blanket is great! And Yuko is sooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteIndeed she is :)
DeleteI love the idea for using the tv tray to add levels to your booth. I will have to pick one up the next time I see one!
ReplyDeleteYou should. I always forget to pick up little shelves to add more dimension and "space" to my booths.
DeleteLove the vintage TV tray! It will look great in your shop!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, I need to bike to the shop and stock it today :)
DeleteFun finds! And your kitty is adorable, especially on that colorful blanket :)
ReplyDeleteI just couldn't help but click your link on Apron Thrift Girl with a picture like that tempting me.
She's a beguiling creature. :)
DeleteYour photography of your Treasures is WONDERFUL....I'm especially SMITTEN with the pic of your puss....!!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Tamarah :o)
Thank you! :D
Deletegreat photos - oh my gosh that kitty of yours is the best! also love the jr. knitting kit!
ReplyDeleteMe too, the illustrations are too cute!
Deletelove that little knitting kit!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, I forgot to take a picture of how cute the inside is, too!
DeleteAh, I love vintage tv trays! I found some good stuff this weekend, too, and blogged it! I keep forgetting to bring my SLR into the store with me so I can capture some of the whimsy/hilarity/interest that I see here from time to time...too busy chasing after my five year old, lol!
ReplyDeleteChantal from Thrift Trick
I finally got in "trouble" at the flea market for using my SLR. I'll keep toting it along everywhere I go anyway ;)
DeleteYou have a great blog. I always have to see what great things you find, and really like your goal posts. I am very happy to hear that you decided not to apply for that job and you are following your heart instead.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words! Glad the goal posts are enjoyed ;) They're tricky to fit in and get used to.
DeleteHello, Van! My gosh, I'm drooling over that vintage kitchen notebook and tv tray. If only I live closer I would've already made an offer. I really like your shop. Someday I'd like to have one, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the Jr. Miss Sewing Basket - that is so cute, I've never seen one before...
