excited thrifter...

Linda is once again hosting Nifty Thrifty Tuesday (thank you Linda!) over at Coastal Charm.  As I mentioned yesterday Jim and I went treasure hunting on Sunday and here is what I found...

I found an old white with black trim enamel bowl, the basket of scrabble tiles (which, as you can see, I am having great fun with), and the cutest white chippy old stool...

 

Since I am in love with industrial now I picked up this vintage fan...

I don't think it works but I loved the size and color.  For myself I found another sweet vintage book...

It is "Daily Food For Christians". The binding is quite loose as are some pages ~ it must have been someones favorite... 

I also found this pretty towel embroidered with 2 "J"s, perfect for Jaclyn and Jake...

Then I found these great old photos...

I had a lot of fun looking at all the faces, hair styles and clothing!  Next is my favorite find but I am wondering if I should paint this lovely old mantel mirror white...

I think it will make the detail stand out more...

I also found this old storage box which would be perfect to hold crafting supplies...

I loved this old black case...

I loved it even more when I saw the price ($11) which included the contents...

I have been on the hunt for old piano rolls for my booth makeover!  I shopped yesterday with my new booth vision in mind, looking for treasures in a neutral palette to mix in with some furniture pieces I am working on to feather my made over space with ~ hopefully in time for the Vintage Holiday Sale at the shop.  However, loving the industrial craze and wanting a pop of color for the holidays I picked up this vintage red bicycle tire pump...

I have another busy day ahead but am very excited to share some news with you tomorrow which is White Wednesday and I will be announcing my giveaway winner!!  Speaking of giveaways I just won the Press Junket Giveaway over at Curious Sofa Diaries!!  I just found this blog and have been catching up on all the inspiring posts full of wonderful display ideas.  Thank you very much Debbie ~I am so excited!  My birthday month has been full of surprises!!  Good luck to all of you and have a wonderful day!
