Thrifting Fun

Today after dropping our pup off for her grooming appointment, I hit up a bunch of thrift stores, and found some terrific treasures!

 I am so thrilled about this first find! A vintage 3 tiered wooden pedestal!  I nearly squealed with excitement when I found it!   I have never seen one like it before, and this is a keeper!  I am going to paint this beauty Heirloom White (I know, big shock!!), distress her a bit, and use her in my craft room.  I think it will be perfect for holding supplies like punches, spools of ribbon and seam binding, and lots more. 

I am in love!

 I am always on the lookout for pretty mirrors, so I just had to snap this lovely one up!  While I love the way it looks now, I plan on putting this in my Etsy shop, so she will receive a paint/distressing treatment.

 This pair of vintage framed floral prints are much prettier in person than they are in these photographs!  The prints are textured a bit to make them appear to be hand painted (though they are not).  I plan on painting the frames, and putting these in my shop as well.  Not sure what color to go with, any ideas?

 I really love the colors!

 I was also thrilled to find not one, but two pairs of huge decorative vintage spoons and forks!  They are much larger in person than they look here!  The first set is wooden, and is well over 2 feet long!  The second set looks wooden, but I'm really not sure, I think they may be ceramic.  (They are nearly 2 feet long).  Don't worry, they are going to look 1000 times better when I get thru with them!  After a good cleaning, and some painting and distressing, I think they will look super cool, and will be making their way to my Etsy shop.

I found much more than these things here.  I will have to share more with you another day.

 Emily doesn't look too thrilled with me, she hates going to the groomer!

Hope you are having a good week. We are in for a huge snowstorm here at the Chateau!  Between tonight and Thursday, we are supposed to receive up to 16" of snow!  Yikes! Each time I hear the weather forecast, they keep increasing the accumulation!  After all of my thrifting, I went to the grocery store, and it was jam packed with people!  Everyone had the same idea:  stock up now, who knows when we will be able to make it out again! 
Have a great week, and keep warm & cozy!
