OH the joy of Vintage

The cold and rainy weather almost ruined the weekend THEN there it was our saviour- The Giving tree thrift store ;)!

I'll admit we originally went simply to find a unique looking picture frame to photography some of our artwork(you will be seeing in a near future post) and instead came home with all these wonderful goodies! We couldn't resist.



we plan to use this in a photography shoot soon and we will keep it around for future studio shoots. Doesn't it kinda make you want to break down just so you can be seen walking down the road in all your dire straits(sp) in your adorable vintage dress with your thumb hanging out showing a little leg?? haha okay so maybe a little carried away but we do love it!



Since I have recently changed my dull kitchen(I will fulfill my promise and show you the results) to shades of foam greens to deep blues and many things in between Carla grabbed this cookie jar and screamed my name in excitement and I almost faited..okay so I have a flare for the dramatic..teehee
We found the matchboxes cleverly hidden in a PUZZLE box mixed in with all the tiny puzzle pieces as well as that box of cards. They all seem to be from here in the Tucson, az area dated from the early 50's. We hope to be able to create a tantilizing art piece with them.

The great thing is that all the workers notice our ever so excited selves and started walking around the store and going to the back and bringing us all these wonderful little vintage goodies.




We will use this for carrying around our order forms and business cards and what not to future vending events( yes we justify every purchase and find a use)



Okay speechless!!



This too will go in my kitchen once I find a good spot for it



I gasped LOUDLY when we found this. Carla was actually pointing at something right in front of it that we were making fun of and our eyes were drawn up to this perfect hatbox in the most amazing condition..I did not gasp alone! haha

By this time we are walking around arms full and thrift store employees bringing things by for our approval..haha How is that for service!



lastly, we found all these random bits of vintage fabric which we plan to make a plethora of things with , flowers, belts, bows and of course a skirt or two how could we resist!
(we will be posting the results)

I hope you gasped a time or two seeing these wonderful finds!
