I Spy...

Sometimes I swear I can sniff out the good stuff.  Like smelling a donut in bbq joint. Of course...when I say "good stuff" that is totally only my opinion...others I'm sure think I am nuts.  I am a scanner...I can be in an out of a thrift store in 10 minutes.  I can also easily spend an hour or more in one if I am in the zone.   This is a little compilation of what I have acquired through lunch hour thrifting and a garage sale.  

 This little gem I thought was just a small suitcase.  Once I opened it I knew I was cleary mistaken. I have never seen one and thought it was pretty neat.  It's like a mobile bar.

 It's hard to tell in these photos, my camera is terrible...but the right side holds bottles.  As in liquor bottles. 3 of them to be exact.  I don't have a huge need for it but for $3 I was down.  Maybe I can fake it as my briefcase and take it work.

Moving on...from liquor to fabric.  

 I cannot get enough of florals.  I am crazy about them.  I found this fabric above thrifting.

 Here is some heavy weight upholstery fabric I picked at a garage sale for a $1.  Total score.

She had these towels too.  She said they were her mothers.  I love hearing things like that.  I can imagine some sweet lady from the 50's or 60's taking such good care of her precious towels.  I think we live in such a throw away world now (trust me I am not innocent either, I fed my kids lunch today on paper plates)...but I do feel a little less guilty using second hand items and wearing mostly vintage.

This embrodered pillow is actually a pillow case!  Even has a zipper.  Heaven.  The last thing will have to wait for a photo.  I'm tired, been working like crazy trying to get my house ready to sell.  And, I have been waking up at ridiculous hours to ride my bike because my brother talked me into doing this.  Remember this post?  I found another one!  I couldn't believe it either.  I almost passed right by it too.  The first thing I spotted was the blue label that said "made in Poland".  I looked closer and sure enough it was another Burberry trench.  This one is a big one, hoping it will fit my hubs.  It had a little stain that came out in the wash and even had the lining.  I have to pick up the lining from the dry cleaners yesterday.  Oops.  Anyone find anything good this week?
