Thrifting Friday

I went thrifting with my husband on Friday. Woke up and immediately got dressed to visit "Those Were the Days". This was one of the first places I visited when I moved to Missouri because I am immediately attracted to antique malls.


Here are just a few pictures of some things that I found as well as one item that will DEFINITELY be in the shop this week.

I didn't like this one as much to be honest.

 THIS. I went crazy over this. This is a plastic coaster set with an actual butterfly on the inside of the top. This WILL be in the store later on this week. I hid this behind some dishes so that I could come back and buy it on Monday.

 There are 4 or 5 coasters inside I think.

This looked so silly but awesome.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

New Items in the Store

I just added 4 new items in the store this evening and have started selling little sachets of 50 vintage buttons. These buttons are handpicked by me and include a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Don't worry, I'm not just dumping my hand into the tin and pulling 50 random buttons :)

These little bundles are going for $5.00 a piece and are great for collections, sewing, and crafting.

Yes, 50 buttons fit in that tiny sachet!

I've also been trying to make one of these button coasters but it requires a LOT of patience and it's a little too frustrating of a project to complete at the moment hah...

Here is the link to the tutorial if you want to make your own!

New Etsy Shop

I decided that the best way to give my customers and any admirers out there the first look at items that will soon be in the store would be with a blog. I also had the great idea of maybe bringing my camera along on my thrift store adventures to give everyone the same experience that I had while perusing through dusty vintage treasures. Also, there will be secret sales to customers who subscribe to my blog!

Here are some items already in the shop:

"Mini" Vintage Asian Teapot

A Vintage Hen Candy Dish

Vintage Asian Sugardish

Old bottle with a printed "Poison" label.

A closer look

I hope to see everyone around! Please subscribe for those secret sales and come visit the shop:
