A Few Goodies and Booth Update

Junk Bonanza in 9 days!!!!!! (those exclamation points can certainly be interpreted as jazz hands, we're that excited)  I have been day dreaming about it all month and can't seem to focus on much because of it.  Not only am I excited about the prospects of glorious stuff packed booths, I am beyond excited for a bit of adventure.  It's going to be awesome!!!
I'm still trying to take it easy on the thrifting to save my pennies so I don't have much to share. 
I found two adorable earring holders at two different places.  This elephant was a scratched up pink when I found it, and because pink just isn't my color, I spray painted it.  
This mischievous little kitty is so stinking cute!  I tend to find like items at different stores on the same day.  It's weird, but welcome.  Does this happen to anyone else?

This paint by number has a label on the back that shows it was made in 1957 for Richard.  It's cool, but horses aren't my thing so I took it to the booth.  Speaking of the booth...


Look at what is missing...the beast of a typewriter!  Someone has finally taken the typewriter home with them.  I hope the new owner loves it!  Now if I could just get that dang globe to sell...Any suggestions?


















Plus I found these fabulous Franciscan mugs.  Aren't they awesome!  If I had the room, I would collect this pattern in a heartbeat.  How cool would that be?!  I currently have one nice china set that we never use, plus another at my mother-in-laws house.  So to Etsy these will go.  I hope they go to a good home...sniff sniff sniff. :(


We also had a little visitor the other morning.  I know they are pests, but they are so ridiculously cute I don't mind them.   I'm joining the parties at Apron Thrift GirlSir Thrift A LotSumo's Sweet StuffRemnantThe Thrifty Groove and A Living Space.  Have a great week everyone!

  2. I love the elephant painted white - super cute. And your booth looks great! Globes seem to sell REALLY well on Etsy, if you're patient enough to pack it for shipping. :) (PS: Totally agree on the raccoon!)

  3. We've had raccoons too (in fact there may be one in our shed now -- I heard some suspicious sounds last night...) That little elephant is so cute painted white :)
    I know what you mean about similar things founds on the same day -- my post is about that very thing!! (stopping by from the Nifty Thrifty)

  4. I've been searching for horse PBN's for my horse crazy daughter. I would much rather decorate her room with those than the horse posters. The elephant is super cute too.

  9. My mom had those exact dishes - a whole set - as the mugs, when I was growing up. It is still a bit strange seeing things from my childhood in thrift and antique stores.

  10. Between hearing about Laurie's Round Top trip & your Junk Bonanza, I am suffering from serious junk envy! It's a good thing I am going to Farm Chicks in June. Otherwise, you may not want to know me:-)
