Let the Countdown Begin

In less than 16 days The Mom and I will be leaving the comforts of our little city to go on a long journey north (like waaaay far north) in search of fabulous treasures.  I'm talking about Junk Bonanza people!!!  It's coming up so soon and we couldn't be more excited!  I'm working on getting things to the booth and listed on Etsy so that I will have storage space for whatever trinkets I come back with.  I'm not even sure what I'm hoping to find in Minneapolis.  I guess I'll know it when I see it.  I did find a few things this past week even though I have been slowing down on the thrifting to save my pennies for our big adventure.

These mid century German stainless steel serving trays are crazy cool!  Sell or keep?!  I don't know, I can't decide!  I love the look but don't have much of a use for them.

I had the same conflict with this fancy butter dish but decided to put it in my Etsy shop.  Can't keep everything...dangit.

Unmarked Primary blue bowl!  Woohoo, my very first 1940's piece.  This little liquid measuring cup is going to stay with me, at least for a little bit.  It's so cute!  

Then just below it I found these two.  Another unmarked Primary.  I know!  Two in one day is crazy!  It and the Lime Green pan were used pretty hard so they required an enormous amount of elbow grease and Bar Keepers friend but came out pretty good.  All three pieces went directly to the booth.  

This turquoise hand mixer is so fifties it's almost unreal.  One day I will do my entire kitchen in this color but again, I can't keep everything (grumble grumble) so I listed it in the Etsy shop.  

While I live in the city, we are close enough to the plains and the farms and real cowboys that we see a lot of different cool belt buckles.  These are two neat ones I found recently.  I like to wear mine with my Grandpa's old work shirts.  It makes me feel like I've been working hard all day doing something productive, when 9 times our of 10 that is sooooo not the case!

So I would love to be sharing pictures of my fabulous new bathroom too, but we had a little setback with some broken glass tile.  It's not a big deal but it has to be fixed, so we have to wait a little longer for the project to be completed.  I almost let it go because I just wanted my house back, but thanks to a good talking to from The Mom (basically I just had to put my big girl britches on and get over it) it is getting fixed.

So how did everyone else do?

Also, thanks everyone for your advice last week as far as shipping and stuff!  You guys are awesome!  I'm joining the parties at Apron Thrift Girl, Sir Thrift A Lot, Sumo's Sweet Stuff, Remnant, The Thrifty Groove and A Living Space.  Have a great week everyone!
