My first stop was a sale in the city, not far from our house. Second was one in University City, followed by a trip to the Goodwill there on Olive, one more estate sale in South County, and then the Goodwill out off Highway 30 past Fenton, where I scored a ton of new Target clothing (and a pair of sandals) that I'll model for you this week (weather permitting...) as the beginning of what will hopefully be a weekly outfit post (eek).
But today...today is all about the vintage goods. Shall we take a peek?
 |
| A fiberglass serving bowl (of which I have a matching serving tray...what are the odds?) |
 |
| Two sets of 8 mid-century metallic ombre glasses...so pretty! |
 |
| A lovely black patent purse that is pretty much pristine inside. |
 |
| Two full-body aprons. |
 |
| Two yellow glass tea light holders...remind me of ones you see at Anthro. |
 |
| A vintage green dress with white buttons and piping and a white sash. |
 |
| A really pretty pale blue cocktail dress. Has a couple stains near the neckline that I'm going to try and work out. Was too cute and inexpensive not to take the risk! |
 |
| A really pretty lace tablecloth for our dining room. |
 |
| A pale blue lampshade with gold trim...perfect for that owl lamp that I'm painting this week! |
 |
| And the BEST is, yet again, last: I found this bar cart at the end of someone's driveway when I was leaving the last estate sale. There isn't anything wrong with it at all, just needs a little spit-shine. I've been looking for one for quite a while, and now I'm SO glad I waited! |
How about you, lads and ladies? What goodies did you dig up on your treasure hunt this week?

That blue dress is very Betty Draper isn't it!
ReplyDeleteVery! Just needs some heels and a cocktail to go with it. :)
DeleteI was at the same sale that you got the glasses. I admired them in the cabinet. I'm glad they went to a good home!
ReplyDeleteNo way! I wonder if we were there at the same time? Small world... :)
DeleteWow, you really did get some amazing things. I love the glassware, the set of glasses really are unusual. The tablecloth is really pretty too. I am in awe of your treasure hunting abilities!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words! Those glasses are pretty cool, huh? And we're loving the tablecloth. I hardly come across any big enough to drape it so well, so I'm really excited!
DeleteLove the cocktail dress and the bar cart is a fabulous find!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Helen! Can't wait to mix up some drinks on it! :)
DeleteThat lampshade was a find. I don't think I've ever come across one that looked that nice :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Megan! I'm kind of surprised, too. I pick ones up that I rework a bit, but I don't think I'm going to change a thing about this one!
DeleteWow! You've been busy...great finds. Green dress my fav :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, City Girl! :)
DeleteNice job! Many admirable items: the blue lamp shade, the ombre glasses, and those yellow votive holders are gorgeous. They look a little like hobnail.
ReplyDeleteThank you! They do, don't they? I love glass pieces that have some texture to them...
DeleteYou have an excellent eye for treasures! The glassware is gorgeous and I love the dresses.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa! :)
DeleteYou stop it! I just got the SAME tea cart a few weeks ago. Check it out: http://www.somethingtobefound.com/2012/05/somethings-tea-cart-table-trees.html
ReplyDeleteI'm a newbie blogger and I just love your blog. I've been reading it for quite some time, and now that I have a blogger account I can finally comment. Your blog is one of the very first thrifting blogs I followed and it has certainly provided a lot of inspiration! Thanks :) Also, thought it was neat to find out you live in the STL. My husband went to St. Louis University and his brother's family lives in the Creve Coeur area. I'm certainly going to hit up some of your thrifting hot spots next time we're in town :)
Oh my gosh...Katie, that is SO funny!! They really are identical twins! Have you decided if you're going to paint yours? I think I'm leaving mine gold for right now, but we'll see how long that lasts. :) And thank you for the kind words! I am so glad you get some inspiration from my ramblings...it really truly is so wonderful to hear that. And yes, let me know if you need any thrift store recommendations next time you're in town!
