I found this fun vintage scale while out thrifting the other morning...It's so cute.
It's up in the shop now.

Thrift Score...
On one of my Thrift Store trips I found this Great Catherineholm Enamelware Dutch oven with the lid! It's a beauty...made in Norway in the 60's. This is the Lotus pattern in Green/White. Love this stuff almost as much as my vintage Pyrex.

Today's Treasure's
For Chris's birthday his parents offered to watch the kid's this weekend. They had them for two entire days. Entire days. Our kids have stayed over at their Nona and Grandpa's many times before...and they always love it. Nona and Grandpa's house is a very special place.
So, for the first time ever, we planned nothing at all for our kid free days. In the past we've always arranged weekends away, gone out with friends, or had another obligation already in place when the kids had an overnight.
It was amazing!
We thrifted, sat on the couch, leisurely sipped our coffee, spent hours in the bookstore, went to a few art galleries, puttered around our respective studios and just generally, truly relaxed.
When we went to pick up the boys they seemed bigger, cuter, sweeter, smarter and more precious than they had just a couple days before.
We got the two little treasures above at a couple of the Estate sales we made it to over the weekend. A great old sheet, perfect for a tote bag and some curtains...and a vintage Polaroid camera in it's original leather case with manual.

Thrifty Treasures...
A few recent trips to my favorite local thrift store yielded some real treasures.
The 'tablecloth' is actually a sweet strawberry vine bed sheet which may have yet another life as a blouse for me or an adorable tote. The shiny chrome flour and tea canisters are 50's vintage in great condition...and the blue and white vintage Pyrex cuties match a set that my Grams gave me when Chris and I got married. The green boomerang candy bowl is just beautiful...simple as that. I also found an 'American at Martinsville' walnut step table (not pictured) in pretty good shape which had been on my wanted list.
It's been a very rewarding few weeks in thrift land. It always seems to go this way. I'll have a stretch where I find something amazing on every trip and then I'll have a stretch where it all dries up.
Either way I'm an addict...
