Wine County Antiquing

I loved this, even if we have to go all the way back to this shop to get it next week (we had Turkey in the back and didn't think we could get both in the back of the car)!

Variety Pack

On Labor Day, I talked the bf into heading to the Goodwill. They have major sales on most holidays and we were going in that direction anyway (sorta). I've never caught a thrift store during a holiday sale and it was a MAD HOUSE! I convinced myself that whatever I found had to be amazing for me to stand in that line (or in actuality, make the bf suffer through that line). Well, look what I found and tell me if you could pass up these beauties!




I still couldn't justify the line. It was OOC. So, I made a deal to come back and get them the next day and pay the full $4.99. I hid them. Returned, and they were gone! Crap! Obviously, I tracked them down since they are now in my hot little hands. I don't typically do anything shoe-related (ew), but these have never been worn from the looks of 'em.

Next adventure...Sacramento Antique Faire!

Last Sunday, Suzy came up from SF to go to the Sacramento Antique Faire. It was amazing! I didn't remember such great deals the last time. I had my eye out for an old hanging scale, counter stools and anything for my terrariums. Check out a few of my finds:

tiny cast iron farm: $5.00

tiny doe: free! (it was marked $1.00 but the woman didn't have change,
so she told me to just take it!)

amazing Eames era counter stools: $20.00 for BOTH. One of the coolest things is that these were made at 1735 Diversey Ave. in Chicago. Now, the building is - you guessed it - CONDOS. I know the exact building. Crazy.

Day OFF. Thrift ON.

Today, I took a day off work. I'm pretty burnt out from the last month or so. It's been really busy. And, I have a lot of travel coming up. It's good, but I'm tired. So, I took a day off! I had big plans, but the majority of the day, I spent SHOPPIN'. My first stop was REI. Then, I went to one of my favorite Goodwill's. I bought something I shouldn't have. We just don't have space for it, but I couldn't say no. These are the desks I had in 8th grade. And, only our 8th grade classroom had them. So, when we got to use them, we knew we were the coolest kids in school. (Our school was K-8).



I also got that little bonsai. It's made of beads-type things.

Here are a couple of other finds. The rest are in the dishwasher as we speak.


Awesome belt!
