Pretty Cool Junk

I wanted to share some of my recent finds. I am picking and junking up a storm for a new booth that I will be opening soon, as well as for Bottoms Up. But I have to tell you, I have been having trouble this past week finding lots of good stuff out there. Everything is over-priced, or not cute enough, or too much work to fix it up, etc.   The thrift stores and estate companies have gotten way out of hand on how they are pricing things (am I the only one that thinks this?) and I think everyone else is hitting up my regular haunts and getting all the good stuff before I make it there.  

I am taking a little road trip this weekend, so keep your fingers crossed that I will be able to find some good finds this weekend!  


I love this little aqua/turquoise shelf.  Only problem is I didn't know that it was lopsided when I bought it.  Oh well!  Still is a pretty cool shelf and I know someone will love it as much as I do!  


This table is pretty cool.  I know its hard to tell, but the table top is really a pretty green color, not the sage-y green color I see on the scree.  And the top is removable, which I love because the chippy paint would make for a great back drop for photo's, but without having to move the entire table.  


I know that I said I was going to announce the winner of my bracelet giveaway on Valentine's Day, but it was delayed because we got a virus on our computer thanks to my husband clicking on some shady boot website.  It took a while to get it fixed, but things are back up and running smoothly.  


The winner of the giveaway is Tammi Hacker of Vintage Connections.  If you get a chance to read her blog, check out her posts about her trip to Paris.  She is one lucky girl to have made it there and this girl here is just a little jealous!  

Have a happy weekend!!

Hey girl, Just wondering if you received my pocket heart for Marsha's swap? I am worried since I didn't hear from you or see you post it on Marsha's blog reveal.

You are so right about the pricing! Can't wait to see your new booth...will it be close to your present one? Congrats to the winner.

I agree about prices....seems like prices are slowly going up. I pretty much have given up on estate sales...sticking to thrift stores. Good luck on your treasure hunting....p.s. love the lopsided aqua bookcase!
