Have I ever told you how much I love church sales? All the little old ladies cleaning out their houses and bringing all their unwanted vintage and retro stuff to be sold for CHEAP? Yes, that is my favorite kind of sale.

My girls (4 and 2) and I went on a Garage Sale mission last weekend. This is the first time I've taken them with me to so many sales and they did GREAT! Our biggest haul was at a local church sale. I got this dresser for $10! I have no idea how much it is worth - maybe $50? It is in SUPER good shape too!

I also picked up this $2 suitcase. I have been wanting to find something to haul my baby bibs around for my business (Hip Violet) and to take with me to wholesale accounts. I think this is it!Happy Thrifting!

Flea Market SCORE!

We visited the Mile High Market last weekend and boy-oh-boy did I score some goodies! One of the first places we stopped we spotted a few boxes of old crafting supplies. After doing some digging we found SO MUCH GREAT STUFF!! I kind of wish I would have just offered to buy everything he had! Or had been able to spend a little more time going through everything! Regardless, I came out way ahead with these great scores!

1. Box o' Vintage Cards
These are SO SO awesome, I can hardly stand it. I also have no idea what I'm going to DO with them since I'm not much of a card sender. I may have to start! Or figure out how to frame them!


2. Box & Tin o' Vintage Buttons (some still on the cards!)
Yes, lots and LOTS of buttons. They are unbelieveably cool. I know vintage buttons are HOT right now and worth a lot of money, so I can't believe my great find! I'm sharing the love - I gave a bunch to my friend Nicole at marmalade creations and I have a few other friends up my sleeve to give them too!



3. Vintage Singer Buttonhole Attachment (worth $10-$20)
It still has the instruction manual and everything!
4. Weird Vintage Jumper/Clown Suit?
I got this because I LOVED the fabric (and it was $1), thinking it was a shirt or SHORT dress. Little did I know it had LEGS! And it is TEENY TINY too! I am either going to keep it for the girls when they get a little older, or take it apart and see if I can make it into something I can wear!
5. Vintage Thread on Wooden Spools
I LOVE these!! I have to figure out something really nifty to do with them.

I got everything above plus 3 vintage aprons and a vintage tablecloth for $15. SCORE!!!

'till next time!
