Fun Finds

This week I have some wonderful finds to share with you.  

Lets start things off with this fantastic typewriter table.  Don't you just love it.


Truthfully I brought this beauty home from the thrift store way back in September.

As soon as I walked in the door with it my eldest daughter claimed it for her room!  She used it as both a bedside table and then recently as a vanity table to side at and do her hair and makeup on school days.  Just last week she informed me I could have it back if I wanted.  I snatched it out of her room right away and brought it downstairs to pair up with my wing back chair.


I just love this table.  
It adds a little industrial flair to the space.  Plus it looks pretty with a few accessories to add personality.


The train case underneath the table is also a recent find.  Doesn't it just seem perfect for fall?  I adore it.


A set of miniature bottle with lids was my steal of the week on my last trip to the thrift store.  I found four mini bottles for two dollars which I thought was a fabulous price.


As always, white dishes in any shape or form is welcomed to come home with me.  I found four butter pats to add to my collection.


And the last item of day has me very, very excited.  Pam will understand.

Pam!  Pam!  Pam! 

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!!!!!!



I'm crushing on Santa . . . How about you?
I was hoping to find a snowman for Christmas time but this cute Santa with his fading colors will do just fine too!  I'm hoping Santa will be the first of many in my vintage collection of Christmas blow-molds.

Have you had any fun finds this week?

Can't wait to hear.

  2. Love your typewriter table - I can totally identify with a daughter stealing things for her room.

    I have my needles in a similar bottle on a shelf and I always can find a needle now.

  10. I haven't been out much this week. But last week I found a couple of great buys at Lowes and Target. A lampshade at Lowes for under $5, and a couple of kitchen signs at Target for $1.78 each. Strange price, huh?

I love the excitement you feel on the drive home....thinking about where you are going to put your new found treasures.
