Thrifty Thursday

Today Kyle came home with this!

Shoot, you have no idea how excited I am.

He seriously has the best luck finding the things I love most.

Where I can hunt for months with nothing...

He can find them like they are nothing. 

Lucky guy. 

it's nice having my own personal picker.

Oh and my find arrived in the mail today. 
I found her on Ebay and it's by far the greatest paint by number in my collection. 
She is eerie, sullen and so so beautiful. 

Thrifty Thursday

February 1st marked our 1 month anniversary at Redlands Galleria,
and I'm so happy to say that our booth is doing great!
Yay!


And we've had such a great response.


One of my favorites was meeting a buyer who traveled from LA just to shop our booth again!
He said it was one of the best mid century booths he'd seen.


Awesome right?!


The more time that passes the more and more in love I am with what we get to do.
Not only as hobby but a career, because I'm hoping that one day our "booth" with turn into a "building."

Thrifty Thursday on Thursday!

For a such a long time now, Cathrineholm 

has been on my list of Vintage finds.

Up until recently I have only drooled over these beautiful pieces of art/home decor/cookware from pictures.

But now I can actually call a piece my own!

It has seen better days, sadly. 

But still so beautiful.

And I will always appreciate it's beauty and craftsmanship.

If you're interested, here is a little history on Cathrineholm enamelware. 


You'll fall in love too, I just know it.

Thrifty Thursday (brought to you on Saturday)

Thrifting was really good this week.
Like almost "too good to be true".


Every week my thrifting list grows larger and larger. 
It's getting really bad.
And mid century lamps has been taking up space on that list for a long time.


In desperate acts we've almost purchased a pair at an antique store, but became nauseous with the $300 price tags and ran away.


But on my last trip these were peeking out from a corner and I ran to them like a lost love.


I can't wait to use them.
They are so beautiful.

Kyle found this picture while thrifting.

It's going in the boys bathroom at the new house. 

Because Booger is Ayden's best friend after all. 

And this picture looks just like him.

Have a great weekend!!!

Thrifty Thursday (a day late)

This beautiful chair was a really great Thrifty find.


Kyle worked magic getting it.
It was in a house that was up for sale.
He called the realtor,
who got the name of the owner, he called the owner, 
and days later the owner finally called back.


It now sits next to our funky couch and the size difference is incredible.


People really were much smaller in the 50's.
And the furniture they make now is huge.


So next up on our list is a couch that fits our chair,
but shoot it's so hard to find a mid century couch that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
