I Promise I'm Still On The Grid

I promise I haven't dropped off the blogging grid.

I took a two week thrifting break. Don't feel sorry for me. I've picked up another little nasty junk habit--the local auction. I have been going every week for several weeks now and I'm an addict! Most of the fun, for me, is the people watching. Definitely a bunch of lively characters!

I really don't have any "thrifting" photos to share but I did want to share these cute onesies that I saw at the Dollar General. I think they were $2.50 and seemed to be pretty well made.

iPeed:



It looks like an iPod but says iPeed. I'm sure Apple's Copyright infringement department would love to see that! :)

And mini pooper:



How cute are these?

I'm hoping for cooler weather! It has just been too hot around here for yard sales.

Have a great weekend!

Back To School Booth

I can't believe that school will be starting in about 2 weeks! I lament this, my friends, because of the traffic. My way to work goes by one of the largest private schools in Alabama. It always makes for fun times.

Since I had all of these school related items I decided to do a school theme:




Sorry for the blurry picture--somewhere in the blur is a little school desk.





This globe lights up. It is WAY cool:


Another globe:





Cute Peanuts vignette. Those are two crisp vintage Peanuts pillowcases.


Wooden Noah's Ark playset:


Coca Cola anyone?





Leftovers:


Cute vintage suitcases and sewing chest:


Groovy, baby!


Reproduction Little Red Riding Hood cookie jar:





Animal print central:









Cute vintage riding hat with its original box:





And finally..I leave you with the cute Amish vignette. It was on a lower shelf but it got bumped up:

Random Things Found While Out Thrifting

My schedule was thrown off this week so I went thrifting on Thursday instead of Wednesday. I found a couple of things I thought photo worthy:
Cute troll with wicked hair:



And a cute play beauty salon. If I had a little girl this would have come home with me:



Have a great weekend!

Girl Power

When I went by to straighten the booth this afternoon I noticed that my second ice cream freezer had sold! Also sold was a very nice Corelle Coordinates canister set.
They are in the upper right hand corner of this picture.


I told you the girlie guitar was coming....and here it is. I did a grouping of girl items and decided to call it Girl Power:









That blue box lamp is so quirky but so cute! Hopefully someone will like it for the bargain basement price of $8.00. I tried to talk hubby out of his lava lamp because it would have been perfect with this vignette--but no dice. He's kind of stingy like that. He thinks his stuff is his stuff and that he shouldn't have to sell it. Hmph. The nerve! Ha ha!

Cute piano bench freshly recovered with a yummy Cyrus Clark toile. Along with the neatest sewing cabinet. Each side pulls out.



Mannequin with new clothes. She had been a little....shall we say risque since her frog skirt sold:






If this purse doesn't sell soon--imma keep it. :)



I added the flower pin.



Cute Amish shelf:



The cutest s&p set evah:



I know i say everything is the cutest...but this time I mean it! :)

Complete set of Beverly Lewis Abram's Daughters books. $1.25 total at yardsale. I think I priced the entire set $12 or $14.


Wagon:


Horses:



Freshened up green shelf:


And finally my Summer Fun vignette. When so much of my ice cream stuff sold I decided to put some other stuff together. This is what I came up with.


OK... I love flamingos. There I said it.



Check out these glasses Jacob and I found last year:



Two packages of Flamingo glasses! Sweet and kitsch swirled together.

Some cute party lights:


I guess that's all for now. Have a great 4th of July! God bless America!

And the winner is.....

And the award for the worst hat EVER goes to.......



Side view? Sure, anything for my loyal readers.



This hat was new, with tags. $14.98 and would have been 30% off. No thank you. The gold accents look like pitchforks.

I found this cute guitar at the Goodwill for $5.99. It only has 3 strings. Fortunately for me I have two very talented "guitarist" nephews.



This new guitar will be going straight to the booth because this one sold the next day after it was placed there:



My ice cream cone sold! Yipee! The nicest lady bought it for her daughter's room. They wanted to do a diner theme and thought the ice cream cone would fit the bill. I do too! I'm a little sad to see it go because it is just SO cute!



Finally, I would like to offer another photo from Awkward Family Photos. This one is called Leprechaun:
