My weakness...

I thrift way too often, sometimes multiple times a week.  I have a little Etsy shop where I sell some of my wares because if I didn't, you would see me on hoarders.  I truly love everything I buy, so thankfully I get just as must joy sharing those goodies with others.  I can't not thrift.  I've been doing it forever, it's my zen.  

Here are some of my own personal favorite treasures...

 I found this Bambi needlepoint for $7 and it has a note on the back.  It's from 1985 and says "to Derek, Love Aunt Maxine and Aunt Lucine".  I treasure it and have it in my kids room.  

 Another pretty needlepoint.

are you getting the picture?  I can't wait to have a bigger house with a giant wall to display all my beautiful needlepoints.  I have almost all of my beloved Grandmother's needlepoints in my basement and I hope someday my grandchildren will treasure them as much as I do.

 This is a huge paint by numbers.  I found this one thrifting a while back.

Did I mention tchotkes?  

 And dishes?  I have a set that matches this vase in a box in my basement and can't wait to have more room to display/use the whole thing.

 teacups and saucers are also a weakness.  

 as are fire king mugs.  Unfortunately a lot have been broken over the years.  The nice thing about thrift is that you can never be too disappointed with breakage.   My kids have broken 3 out of 4 of my jade cereal bowls.

 This luggage is lined with pink! You can see more here.  I love vintage luggage.  

and last but certainly not least, this beautiful vintage typewriter.
