Halloween Decorating

Just piddling around the house today and working on getting some Halloween Decor up. As much as I junk I really don't run across very much vintage Halloween. I have a few pieces but I just ended up using some other vintage pieces that fit the Halloween theme.

And that's as far as I got today! Looking forward to Halloween and Trick or Treating with my Red Headed Girls!

I Do BBQ - Couples Shower

One of my dearest friends in the world has a son that is getting married. Several of us went in together and planned a couples shower with the theme of "I Do BBQ". I was in charge of the decorations. I really used a lot of stuff that I already had on hand (hmmm - I guess that's how it is when you are a junker). I found a ton of ideas on Pinterest. Anyway I thought I would share a few photos of the decorations and the shower.

 I brought some old frames with me and we went outside and made some photos. Surprisingly I think they turned out pretty good (I'm not the best photographer in the world - ha ha). 

It was a fun day and I enjoyed celebrating this new chapter in Chris and Brittany's life with them.

I also enjoyed spending time with these fantastic ladies!

Congrats and Best Wishes to Chris and Brittany!

Estate Sale Finds

It's been a slow couple of weeks in estate sale land for me, lots of sales but just not my kind of stuff. I was really itching to go to the Peachtree 23 longest yard sale today but Mom did not feel like going and I didn't want to go by myself. I tell you I am really in need of a junk fix. Here are my slim pickings for the past two weeks:

I did find some really cute vintage girls clothing in excellent condition, usually I do not find them in this kind of shape. I was glad not to have to soak and clean them. They just require a light pressing and they are ready to go to our Etsy shop.

Vintage purses seemed to be a theme for me on my last couple of picks, a beautiful crochet purse and two beaded purses (made in France and Belgium). The two beaded purses are in pretty bad shape but they were just too lovely and dainty not to take home. They cost me a whole $2, they will go on my misfit shelf for display.

I think she is a dashboard Madonna, not sure really. Found at the Catholic Social Services.

I love old band-aid tins, did you ever notice they are almost always filled with old nails?

A glass drawer pull. You never know when you might need one.

1870's Ready Reckoner Book.

A very lovely vintage umbrella with a rhinestone handle.

This is plated but still pretty.

I have never run across a witch cookie cutter before, have you?

Probably my favorite find over the last couple of weeks, LOVE this vintage box of Birthday candles. Already at home in it's new spot on my misfit shelf.

I scored some really nice cocktail napkins and dinner napkins, these will be going to our Etsy shop.

I bought this little rustic shelf for me, I can use to display some of my much loved small trinkets.

On another note, my sister found these chairs in the Goodwill. They are now in my Dining Room. They are hand made and in fantastic shape. I am very picky about chairs and have been living with the old ugly ones I have had for years until I could find just the right set. When I laid eyes on these I knew they were the ones!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend and if you have been out junking I hope you found some wonderful vintage treasures!
