Great Year So Far

Wow!  This month at the booth has totally thrown me for a loop.  I expected less than awesome sales because everyone spent all their money for Christmas, but boy, I have never been so happy to be wrong!  I've sold so much this month it is unbelievable!  The Pink Gooseberry bowls and a ton of other Pyrex items have sold.  Plus a bunch of Christmas ornaments.  After all the excitement wore off, I got a little bit nervous.  "Holy crap!  I have to fill all those holes!"  For the past month I have been trying to take it easy on buying because I thought had too much, but when I went into the sun-room to get new stock to take to the booth, it was awfully slim pickings.  Thankfully the thrifts have been pretty nice to me this week.

Check out this cool owl clock!  It still works!

This tooled leather purse is in great condition.I love the shape of it and think I will use it for a bit.  

While Butterfly Gold isn't my favorite pattern, it seems to sell really well.  These casserole dishes were priced really well and only needed a scrub down with Bar Keepers Friend to be brought back to life.  

Sadly, this Primary Colors blue bowl was beyond repair.  It was priced right, but beat to heck so I thought I could try to revive it.  The scuffs came out, but it no longer has the lovely shine we have all come to know and love so much.   Bummer.

I’m such a sucker for planters.  Isn't this little ducky adorable?

A separate trip to my local thrifts yielded quite a bit too.  More Butterfly Gold.   And Verde Square Flowers.  These are replacing ones I sold this weekend.

I wrote about this on the Pyrex Collective III last week.  I also happened to have a lid for it too!  Now I just need to find the super cool cradle that originally came with it. 

And how cool is this typewriter?!  The best part is that it still works!  It is heavier than heck though, which is a drawback, but I still think someone would love to have it as a decorator piece. 

This old measuring cup is going to live with me for a little while. 

But my most favorite purchase has to be this tin drink tray.  Check out the graphics on it!  This is going to replace my fruit bowl for a little while.  I want to enjoy it for a bit before I sell it.  It's so cool that we can do that!

This is the most recent picture of the booth.  Lots of stuff is moving!  The chalk board wall still needs some love though.

This week is going to be another busy one.  My mother-in-law is arriving Wednesday night, The Little Dude's first birthday party is on Saturday with his birthday that following Monday.  I can’t believe he is going to be 1!  Geez, time flies. 

I'm joining the parties at Apron Thrift Girl, Sir Thrift A Lot, Sumo's Sweet Stuff and A Living Space.  Have a great week everyone!!!
