Cherry Blossoms

What a lovely day I had on Friday. I took the day off and of course spent it out junking with mom. We planned on hitting an Estate Sale first thing Friday morning. We arrived early and ended up being second in line. The house was in an older neighborhood and borders the hill area so we were expecting great things. There was a ton of stuff to dig through and I ended up with many goodies to include vintage baby clothes, vintage doll clothes and case, vintage Christmas and some miscellaneous odds and ends. But the smell in that house was horrible, it smelled like cat pee! If you want to see all the stuff from the Estate Sale you can go here. All good stuff but the real finds of the day came from a little Thrift Store in North Augusta that mom and I like to visit on occasion. The lady there lets us dig through the back room where she stores all the stuff she hasn't put out yet. I can't tell you how excited I was to find a Jeanette Glass Co. Cherry Blossom depression glass child's Dinner set in it's original box. After getting it home I did some research and found this article on Replacements.com. The set is missing one cup and one cup is chipped but I am hoping to be able to find some online (not on replacements.com though, they are asking $45.99 for cup and saucer). The Cherry Blossom pattern is just so lovely.








 One other find at the Thrift store was this vintage toothpick holder. Isn't he adorable!


On another note, I did get a new camera and I am loving it. Just need to learn how to operate it. I purchased an additional lens for close up shots. I will pick it up at the end of the week, so hopefully my picture quality will improve. I did use it to take the photos for my post today.

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and found some vintage goodness!
