New Bedroom!

I moved about two months ago, and have finally finished rearranging and decorating my bedroom. I'll give you a peek, because I know you have been soooo interested. ;)

Bookshelf; given to me from my momma, painted white. Filled with mainly Pyrex, the bottom shelf holds my books. (Horrible, right?)

Dresser; $30 thrift store find. I'm in love with the scalloped drawers.

Ottoman; $20 estate sale find. I actually just got this yesterday, not quite sure where it will end up in the room. I'm in love with the color, and the extra storage space!

Record player; $70 from Craigslist. It's not vintage, just a remake. I have horrible luck with vintage turntables...every time I buy one it breaks. I'm cursed! So I bought new(ish) - and yes, it IS pink. Swoon.

Owl tea-light holder; free from my momma (she's the best!) 

Lamp; free at the curb. The inside lights up green. Yupp!

And this isn't really part of my room, just my new little keychain friend. Have any of you heard of KidRobot? The items come blind-box, which makes it kind of fun because you don't know which guy you'll get! The boy bought this one for me while wasting time in a bookstore before seeing The Dark Knight Rises (OHMYGOD I LOVE BATMAN) This is from the Yummy Breakfast line. 

Oh, and I got some Pyrex this weekend! Just a little red fridgie (.50 with lid!) and #441 yellow bowl ($2). The Frank Sinatra album was only .50 and the Fossil bag was $5! Pretty great weekend if you ask me. 

New!

So I did it. I online shopped for Pyrex.

Thank you, shopgoodwill.com

(Autumn Harvest is one of my favorites!) Now I need to find the #404...

The local thrift stores have been pretty great to me lately, too.

The pink gooseberry (99c) went home with my momma. She likes pink. I kept the mushrooms (99c) though! 

The berries ($3) and salad bowl ($5) are new finds, too!

Adorable orange fridgie (99c) and woodland butter dish ($2).

Have I mentioned I also collect random vintage plates? They have been piled on my dresser until recently. 

Happy Saturday, lovelies! Stay sweet - orange rolls are being enjoyed here. ;)

Fire King Finds

Friday might be my favorite day of the week. They're always full of morning coffee with my Pop and then garage sale hunting! Today was no exception.

We headed off to our first sale - the garage was just beginning to rise. Pop's number one rule: Be early! I immediately headed to the table in the back lined with dishes. Wait - could that be...no...

Yes! Jadeite! I've longed over jadeite for so very long. And now it's mine! And for just $2 for the lot of it! (Creamer, 4 pie plates, & 3 saucers) Also picked up some other goodies:

Pink swirl Fire King dinner plate with matching teacup, for my dear pink-obsessed Ace (momma!) I'm keeping the 1950's retro pink plastic cookie jar, though. Ah-dorable. And at less than a dollar for all three of these treasures, how could I say no?

Off to another sale! And, oh boy, was it a great one.

I got both of these beauties for $1! Oh my, how I love elderly ladies' garage sales. I've seen the white divided candy dish before, but I've never seen anything like this casserole dish! Take a closer look...

Isn't it just lovely?! Clear glass covered in golden specks with a beautiful teal medallion resting on top...just beautiful. Has anyone else ever seen this piece before?

Picked up one more retro goodie for my brother, the vintage-radio collector:

High-five for great finds!
