Vintage Lovelies

After reading Cheryl's post here, I got the thrifting bug BAD.  How jealous am I of her ginormous vintage finds!!  So, yesterday I had the pleasure of taking little babe out with me and doing a little thrifting, just the two of us.  I thought just taking Eloise would be a breeze since when she is in her car seat she just falls asleep.  Without the other two crazies the trip would be easy, right?  Well, I guess I didn't really plan the trip out so well, let's see...I forgot her stroller so I had to lug her carseat around each thrift store and ALL their tables and shelves of glassware, no fun.  And because of the no stroller situation I had no extra hands or places to carry my finds.  It was pretty comical.  Thank goodness for all the sweet people who helped me out (which was like everyone).  I guess seeing a discombobulated momma brings out the soft side in others :) 

I didn't find nearly as many vintage goodies as Cheryl but I did score these lovelies

Aren't they just gorgeous?  I love finding vintage sheets and pillowcases!  


The floral prints and the bright colors just draw me in.


And the flowers!  Oh, how I love the flowers.


And, I even found some Old Skool Sesame Street sheets...love them!!


A complete twin sheet set, major score!

I think the kids will like these just fine!  I love Old Skool finds.  How I wish I still had my Smurfs sheet set from when I was a kid.  Man, I loved that set.  I also remember that my brother had a pretty nifty Star Wars set too or was it Return of the Jedi?  Either way I wish we still had them.  How cool would that be.

So what have you found lately? 


Happy Weekend Friends!!

Love those sheets! Especially the Sesame Street set! Our local Goodwill is closing, and I scored major a few days ago. They are having a BOGO sale to clear it out. Love thrift shopping!

Great finds! I never find anything awesome. I guess our thrift stores are just super picked over.

Oh my goodness! The yellow, orange, white, green floral....I have a VERY old quilt with that fabric that my now 93 y.o. Grandmother made years ago. It's tattered and torn, but I still love it :)

Haven't been thrifting in quite some time! I pick my mom up from the airport today, maybe we should just do some thrifting while she's here visiting!
