<span style="font-size: large;">Goof grief, five months gone is long enough! What was that about you ask? I have a busy, busy toddler : ) Anyway, tomorrow starts a 10 day long road trip with The Little Dude and I'd love to share the fun. We'll be following my parents to Branson Missouri and while I'm not overly excited about our destination, I am really excited about the junking that is sure to happen. Stay with me (and thank you to those of you who have stuck with me during my hiatus), it's going to be good! </span></div>

Quality over quantity has been the theme at the thrifts lately, and I'll take it! Sales are still doing well at the booth, and turn around time for items is quick so I need to be finding good stuff consistently. Now if I could just sell more and stop hoarding, like this cute little red notebook for example. That lettering! Swoon!</div>

I've been slacking!!! Slacking on blogging, slacking on commenting, slacking on thrifting - slacking on everything! Some of it is pure, unadulterated laziness, don't get me wrong. But most of my blog neglect is because we have been potty training The Little Dude for the past three weeks. I have been a bit preoccupied, to say the least. : ) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All things considered, the booth got a little bit of love in the recent weeks. I got a really nice email from a customer last week. She was sweet enough to take time to tell me that she shopped at my booth when she could and I helped her finish her yellow Gooseberry set. She even said she loved my blog! Thanks so much Marianne. You made my day, that's for sure!</div>

We didn't get to spend Mother's Day together, but that's ok. We hung out the next day so I could give her this little ensemble. The tin is in rough shape, but that's what makes it so cool.

So this is the bakelite bangle I found in Oklahoma a <a href="http://andromedavintage.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-past-few-weeks.html">few weeks</a> ago. It is big and beautiful, but the color was a bit muddy and it was super scratched up so I decided to sand it down and polish it. I could tell before I started that it would have some kind of marbling because you could see it underneath the patina if you looked hard enough. Well I didn't expect this!

See those Black Snowflakes? Those ones right there in the picture? Yeah, I almost missed them ! I walked right past the pair (and their killer price tag) in a small antique shop while trying to chase after The Little Dude. Thankfully The Mom and her eagle eyes spotted them.

Have you ever seen a glass washboard? Up until the other day, I didn't know they even existed. The print is really faded, but I can tell it was made by the Columbus Washboard Company. I'm guessing it was produced around the time of the second World War since it's glass and not metal. Other than that, I got nothing on this. <b style="font-size: x-large;">Any washboard collectors out there? Do you know anything about this board? Hard to find, common, etc... </b>It's in reseller limbo right now. Keep or sell? Ugh, I don't know!</div>

Booth sales are still going strong, thank goodness! And I'll be doing a small outdoor flea market outside of my antique mall next weekend. The plan is to bring the stragglers and price them low so I can move stuff out. If it doesn't sell there, it's going to get donated! I have an embarrassing amount of, "what was I thinking" items... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In other news, The Little Dude is still waking up too dang early and I'm still super tired, though I'm getting more used to it. Hopefully it's just a phase... </div>

This beautiful wreath came to existence. It was a gift for my Auntie who lives in Oklahoma. It's a bit pink for me, but she loved it! Ornament wreath making should definitely be a year round craft. So fun!</div>

We drove out there for a long weekend and had a great time. And The Little Dude was a peach, it was amazing! Auntie knows how to make this chick happy, Pyrex and make-up! T Thank you! And lets take a minute to admire that vanity. It was in a cute little boutique store in the <b>middle-of-no-damn-where</b> Texas. I wanted to stick that little turquoise bug in my pocket and take it home! It was fantastic! My favorite find in Oklahoma is the bakelite bracelet on the left. Big and thick, and only $8! Score one for me! </div>

I had some yummy drinks over the past few weeks too. The top left is a cucumber margarita that was to die for!!! Totally going to have to make that one at home. The bottom left a <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/82050024435917802/">tangerine gimlet</a> whose recipe magically appeared to me on Pinterest one night.

She also bought this key, and she's keeping it (pouty face) but it's so cool I had to share it. The Alamo was a fancy old hotel in downtown Colorado Springs that was built in the late 1800's and closed in the 60's. This little key is a piece of our local history. How cool is that?!</div>

More huge bakelite buttons! These came from a little antique show we went to. The guy had four small cases full of them. It was fantastic! He said he bought an estate that belonged to two generations of The Denver Dry Goods Store owners. He also said he had two huge boxes full of them! I almost asked him to marry me...not really, but still, that's pretty cool! </div>

Spring, glorious-wonderful-magical Spring! The birds are squawking and the trees and flowers are blooming, and most importantly - IT ISN'T SNOWING!!! I could dance a gig right now. Anyway (no one needs to see/hear about that), <span style="text-align: center;">I only thrifted one time last week, but it was all I needed. Yup, it was one <b>fanfreakingtastic </b>day of thrifting with The Mom!</span><br />

~Insert more heavy breathing~ I just couldn't believe it. All of this pink Pyrex was found in one place! That pretty flower tray is the only thing other than the globe that I'm keeping from this haul. It was covered in black grease.

It just kept coming! These Designs bowls need a good scrubbing, but otherwise, they're awesome. And those hound dog salt and pepper shakers are killing me with cuteness, just look at those soulful eyes! Though I want to keep them forever and ever, I'm running out of room so they'll be heading to <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AndromedaVintage">Etsy</a> soon.</div>

<b style="font-size: x-large;">Is that white casserole dish Fire King? </b>The pretty pattern drew me in. The beautiful bright yellow lasagna pan is cast iron and HEAVY AS HELL. It was made in Denmark and fetches a pretty penny online. I'll be sticking it in the booth though - shipping on that thing would be painful.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">And last but certainly not least, The Grandma came home from Arizona bearing gifts! Oh Gooseberry, how I love thee. I already have this set in my personal collection, so these will be heading to the booth. Squeeee!!! Can you imagine how cool my booth is going to look in a few days?! She also gave me a very special afghan that was made by my Great Grandma, see it <a href="http://andromedavintage.blogspot.com/2014/04/this-past-week_21.html">here</a>. Thank you very much Grandma!!! Ugh...blogger won't let me center this. It's being sassy.</span><br />

Thank you guys for all your kind words of encouragement and understanding regarding The Little Dude. It helps to know that he isn't the only butt-crack-of-dawn riser. : ) Today he woke up at 5:40 am, so that's a swing in the right direction. It isn't 4 am! </div>

We're going to be getting ready for a road trip to Oklahoma next week and I'm pretty excited! The drive is just dumb, ugh- so dumb, but my Auntie will be at the end of it, so it's totally worth it. What a cluster eff this is bound to be. The Mom, The Grandma, My other aunt, a cousin, and The Little Dude and me - all in one van for 9 hours... HA! ~insert a shiver up the spine~ </div>

The awesome key shelf I bought <a href="http://andromedavintage.blogspot.com/2014/04/this-past-week.html">last week</a> got a sweet turquoise paint job. It really pops off the white wall! It needs more messing floofing, but so far this little area is working really well for us. And Thanks Mom for the lard bucket! It's another one from Colorado.</div>

I was really thankful to have a vendor night last. Not only to get some work done and change the booth (seen <a href="http://andromedavintage.blogspot.com/2014/04/thrift-haul-and-booth-update.html">here</a>) but also so I could relax and have some quiet time. The terrible twos...Ugh!</div>

The Grandma and Grandpa came back from Arizona bearing gifts! The afghan is super pretty, but what makes it extra special is that my Great Grandma crocheted it. That's something we'll treasure forever. And the Gooseberry! Holy crap, it's awesome! I already have the set in my collection (thanks to The Grandma also), so these guys will go in my booth (she knew that when she got them for me) to fancy up the joint. I just love this pattern!

Good gravy...have you ever just had one of those days were it seems like everything in your brain is negative and grumpy? That's what I have going on right now. Too many early mornings. The Little Dude needs to get over this phase fast because I'm not going to last much longer! Hopefully revisiting my fantastic haul with this post will help bring me out of my funk. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have super mixed feelings about this beautiful set of Primaries. The thrift decided to start putting their "collectible" Pyrex in the case with very high price tags. That just pisses me off because it's a thrift store, not an antique shop. Get over yourself. Here's where I get conflicted. It actually worked out for me. I went in on half off day and there they were, still in the case, not separated or banged up, and most importantly - HALF OFF! Ugh, I don't know...</div>

At the same store mentioned above, I found these on the regular shelves. And aside from having something yucky spilled on them they are perfect. Not a single scratch. So confused! That adorable little ducky candle still has the Gurley tag on the bottom.</div>

At one of the thrifts, an employee came up to tell me about these great table clothes (one is a Vera) she just put out. "You look like someone who would like that kind of thing." At first I was confused, then I realized I was wearing my Grandpa's old plaid work shirt, vintage jewelry, and a polka dotted scarf in my hair. Yup, I totally looked like someone who would enjoy that kind of thing! It was super nice of her.</div>

I walked into an estate sale with The Little Dude in one arm, spotted these Friendship bowls and walked out with them in the other! Normally I wait to go without the kiddo (because he's heavy and grabby), but I knew this one was going to be good so I got there as early as I could. I'm so glad I did, the orange one already sold! </div>

I went back the next day and scored a few little odds and ends. It was kind of surprising that the pink jar was still there on the second day. The few bits of Christmas stuff had to be dug for, worth it though. And keys, glorious keys! They are quickly becoming my new favorite thing to collect.</div>

This is my favorite find of the week, probably of the year actually. I've always wanted one of these spools to use as a table. And this one is in great shape and still has nice graphics on the top! Now it just needs to stop snowing we could go out to the deck and actually enjoy it.</div>

The Little Dude has been waking up before the butt crack of dawn (yeah, that's an actual time of day...just ridiculous) lately, and let me tell you, it's totally wearing on me. I'm usually already up, but just not quite awake, and have yet to grab the life nectar that is coffee. He talks a lot in the morning... ; ) Needless to say, I felt like I deserved the beer and cupcake Friday afternoon.</div>

This key cabinet!!! OHMYGOSH, I freaking love this thing. It was priced a bit high, but the vendor was willing to drop the price since it had been crowding her booth for a while. It's going to get a fancy turquoise paint job this week and it will be glorious!</div>

See that set of Primary bowls sitting on the right corner of the table in my booth? Those are the over priced bowls I was bitching about a few pictures up! They were still in the case on half off day and I snagged them up super fast. It turned out to be a very good deal for me, which is awesome because Pyrex is getting pricier and pricier lately. *Inserting foot in mouth*</div>

So we had the screen door open and I was standing in the doorway taking pictures of these Sandhill Cranes and their baby. The Little Dude went out to grab a toy, and didn't notice the birds. They were pretty far away so I didn't think anything of it. Well they felt differently apparently. They yelled some horrible noise and ran at us, right as I was taking this picture. The Little Dude screamed and ran inside while I struggled to get the screen door closed. One stopped a foot short of the door and just stared at us, growling. Crazy ass birds stocked us for like 10 minutes before finally moving on.</div>

The thrifts have been a bit stingy for me lately. Thank goodness for estate sale season! I hadn't planned on driving out to this particular sale, but ended up with some time to kill on so I made the trek out there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Squueeeeeeee! Vintage Christmas! The knee huggers have had a rough life, but they're still cute and will be great on a wreath. Plus, check all those little bulbs! These guys made the long drive totally worth it.</div>

And it gets better. That two hole punch is so cool. I can't seem to find another example of it online. <b><span style="font-size: large;"> Have you ever seen one before?</span></b> And the squirrel! I'm pretty sure he's a dream pet, but his tag was ripped off so I'm not certain.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you believe there isn't a single Pyrex photo in either one of these magazines?! That's ok though because that BH&G is FULL of wonderful mid century furniture and decor. It's going to be so much fun to go through this with more time! And the little cookbook on the right drew me in with it's cover. It's from 1939.</div>

The dude that ran this estate sale was pretty excited about this bait bucket. He hadn't seen it and was surprised no one else had either. I got the good stuff eagle eyes man!!! Plus, the other side of it says "HI" so it kind of called to me. Hi!</div>

Why can't every weekend be like this one was? Because I'd be freaking broke, that's why! Ha!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll open with what is probably my favorite item from this haul. That afghan!!! The colors are just so perfect for my house it's unreal. And it's so nicely done. I'm in love! The lady of the house was pretty dang good with a needle and thread too. This embroidered deer table runner is impeccably done and the crochet edging is just perfect. I was really hesitant to take it to the booth. And that sewing kit is awesome! I love anything with a kissing clasp.</div>

Vintage Easter! The little ducky and bunny have spun cotton heads and are actually little pieces of foil wrapped candy. And who can resist a honeycomb Easter egg? Not me, that's for sure! </div>

I have a thing for old pencil sharpeners I guess. This one is super heavy and very sleek looking. They always sell well for me online, so I listed it on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/182966545/vintage-boston-self-feeder-4-pencil?ref=shop_home_active_2">Etsy</a> *SOLD!*. And the neat old clamps will be available for sale on <a href="http://instagram.com/andromedavintage">Instagram</a> before I move them to Etsy. Aren't they cool looking?</div>

These were in a bag under a table in the garage at the estate sale. A great find, though I could have totally gone without the giant spider that came screaming out the second I touched the bag. I screeched like a little girl, everyone turned. It was ridiculous! Anyway, the bag had 6 of the honeycomb bells, two foil stars and one foil garland. They gave it to me for $1! SCORE!!!</div>

The estate sales are heating up around here. There are two in a little town not far from me that I'm thinking about hitting. I would love to be the early bird that gets the worm but The Little Dude wouldn't be nearly as thrilled. And I'm not a huge fan of that whole standing in line and competing with others to get the goods thing. I'd rather poke around and take my time. Ya know, enjoy myself! I can't handle the stress otherwise. <br />

A fire destroyed hundreds of homes and thousands of acres last year in the same little town where the estate sale was. I'd hate to be a resident of this town and have to drive this road all the time. What a painful reminder. You can see in this photo that the tires on the truck melted away completely, along with the house that used to be behind it... And those trees aren't just back-lit, they're burned. So sad all around...</div>

Wow! The thrifts were awesome this last weekend and one little estate sale <b>rocked</b> my world! Holy cow, I so needed that. It was totally cathartic to just poke around a nice estate sale run by cool people, and to thrift with The Mom. My brain feels level again. So without further dithering, on to the vintage goodies. Put on your shades, it's going to get bright and colorful. :-)</div>

Can we take a second to look at that freaking afghan?! It's perfect and gorgeous and going to the booth along with the globe. And if you know me, you know I DON'T WANT TO DO IT! Can't keep everything...damnit. The suitcase and pillow cases came from the estate sale and will be staying with me. I'm gonna be like Oprah and change my pillow cases every night just so I can use my fabulous growing collection! Hahaha!!!</div>

The Mom and I spent most of Saturday thrifting and goofing off. We had so much fun! And yup, that's another Fire King Jadeite swirl bowl. I was gifted one a <a href="http://andromedavintage.blogspot.com/2014/02/thrift-haul-hodge-podge.html">few weeks ago</a>, but this one was thrifted (I know, I was surprised too). The other swirl bowl came from the estate sale. I imagine if I had gotten there earlier, I would have found all kinds of good glassware. Oh well. The Honeysuckle Pyrex is going to the booth. And I just couldn't resist the design on these Melmac plates. So retro! </div>

That balloons crewel piece sat at the thrift store for what seemed like forever, and I just couldn't let it be neglected anymore. It's huge, cheery and wonderfully bright. A perfect addition to my sun room. The little floral bag is dang near perfect and currently for sale on <a href="http://instagram.com/andromedavintage">Instagram</a> for a bit, then moving to <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AndromedaVintage">Etsy</a>.</div>

We're eagerly awaiting for Spring's arrival around here. We keep getting teased with nice days between the yucky days and we're pretty much over it. I'm excited to start some yard work and possibly a garden.<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Has spring sprung in your area, or is it being sassy for you too?</span></b><br />

We were either viciously attacked by a stomach bug or I accidentally poisoned dinner because HOLY COW, The Husband and I were sick, sick, sick. I was telling The Mom that I hadn't been that sick (hangovers not included) since I was a little kid. It was bad news for sure. Thankfully it was short lived.</div>

I might as well share that ^ strangeness with you guys. I LOVE office supplies! Ohmygosh, a new pen makes my heart sing. Oh, and if I get to use that new pen on a new notepad, oh - that's the stuff right there! So now that I've over shared with you, you will understand a bit better why I bought a bag of vintage pens that don't work. I physically and emotionally couldn't leave them! They're so cool! I was able to hold back and not buy all <b>10 bags</b>. I don't know how, but I did. But if they're still there next time I go back... Oh, and don't they look lovely in the Daisy fridge dish I picked from an antique store? Makes me smile.</div>

And we'll close out with yet another weird "thing" of mine. Buttons, I can't let them go! I haven't been crafting with them lately and I have at least 20 pounds of them, but I still need more. *coughhoardercough* They're just so pretty! If you look closely you can see me in my jammies in the reflection of the West Bend Hot Cold Server. They always sell well for me. And that is my first vintage Easter decoration. Woohoo! I think it needs flowers in that little blue thing. Maybe I should make some with my buttons...</div>

Ah, yummy banana bread. Or banana bread of DEATH!!! I thought it was fine but I gave a piece to The Mom and she couldn't even get it down! You know it's bad when your mom can't even stomach it.

So my aunt told me she had some old toys and books that she doesn't want any more and asked me if I could help her sell them. Sure I say, why not? She brought over like <b>6 huge boxes</b> of stuff last night! Barbies, Barbie accessories, more clothes than one doll needs, a few cars, her damn huge ass dream house and a butt load of books. And that isn't even all of it! So I'm going to do a kind of pop up Instagram store to hopefully move some of this stuff pretty quickly. Spread the word! I don't have time to research everything, so there will be plenty of good deals for people I'm sure. </div>

Where the heck have I been? Two weeks of silence should mean I was up to awesomeness! Yeah, not so much... Things have just gotten away from me I guess. Booth sales are <b>kicking ass</b> right now though, so hopefully I'll have lots of fun stuff to blog about in the coming months.<br />

My first thrifted Desert Dawn! It was in pretty rough shape, but I cleaned it right up and put it in the booth. Same with the super cool Hazel Atlas pitcher. Doesn't this have glasses that match? </div>

These were all given to me by a friend of mine from high school. She cleaned out her grandma's kitchen and thought of me because she's so dang sweet! Check out the Jadeite!!!!

Check out this beefy mofo. It's a Frankoma cookie jar that is in <strike>perfect</strike> ok condition.

Ok, blogger is being sassy and won't let me upload more pictures right now. I'm going to have a stroke if I keep messing with it, so I'll save them for the next post. I really wanted to show you guys my fabulous new stainless steel work table kitchen island. It's FANTASTIC!!!<br />

I end up freakin' keeping EVERYTHING!!! Here's 10 items and I'm keeping half of them. I think I need an intervention...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Squeeee! This picture makes me happy, happy, happy! The Horizon Blue loaf pan was thrifted from a shop that has been withholding for weeks. Yes, finally! A volunteer set it down and I scooped it right up while trying to not audibly squeal. The other two were great picks from a little antique shop down the street. Three pieces of glorious Pyrex, two are staying with me. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep, keep, KEEEEEEP, OMG KEEP!!!! I found this atomic bullet shaped ice bucket at an antique shop for a really good price. I don't even care that it's scratched, it's AWESOME! <b><span style="font-size: large;"> Do any of you big brained lovelies know anything about this?</span></b></div>

I don't usually buy Fire King, but the color of this large dish drew me in. That and the little weird brass bird are actually for sale! Holy crap, it is possible for me to sell something. Except for that super cute little Yum cup. Can't get crazy now...gotta keep something. : )</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So you can probably already guess what I kept here. Got to represent! Woohoo Colorado! HA! Anyway, so that lunch box is kind of killing me. I took it to the booth yesterday, but I kind of want to go get it back. Think of the things I could store in that... Like little brass birds I don't need... </div>

Thanks again for all the nice words about my <a href="http://andromedavintage.blogspot.com/2014/02/saying-goodbye-to-ugly-back-splash.html">kitchen</a> guys! Tomorrow we're getting my new kitchen island and then over the weekend we'll hopefully be installing a new-to-us over the range type microwave (I can't think of what that's actually called right now). And then my twin brother will be here in a week or so and it's going to be so much fun!!! The three of us don't get to hang out together very much, so I'm pretty excited. It's going to be a busy few weeks and I couldn't be more grateful. </div>

Six more inches of snow fell on top of what we already had here. I know it's nothing compared to what some of you have gotten, but we haven't had snow like this in a really long time so it's pretty exciting. </div>

Ok, enough of that. Check out this pretty little ring I thrifted the other day. The stone is super clear and bright, though I have no clue what it is. It could be glass for all I care, I still like it. </div>

These curtains are cute right? I used some flour sack towels I had and thought I was a damn genius! Well five minutes later, reality came crashing down onto my counter, knocking over a few plants in the process. I'm going to try again, but this time I'll secure the saggy center of the rod. Live and learn I guess... I'm still a bit salty about it. </div>

I sent The Husband a few hints for what he could get me for Valentine's Day, should he feel so inclined. I hate to do that, but I also hate when I get bugged at him for getting me something weird/expensive/nothing because he didn't know what to get. I'm just trying to help him out! </div>
