Thrifty Thursday

We took a long drive on Saturday to get some delicious peach custard. The farm stand is only open for three months each summer, and this was one of the last weekends, so we had to stop twice! When we head out there, we also stop at little thrift store and antiques shop to hunt and gather treasures. Here are a few of my finds.

I already have plans for these old photos. I'm thinking Halloween!



Husband came across these vintage Disneyland postcards. Since I'm a huge fan, I had to have them.


I also bought an old herb drying screen, which I'm hoping to incorporate this weekend. Photos will be forthcoming!

More Treasures

Yes, I was out again this past weekend, searching for more treasures. Here is what I brought home.

Crepe paper, baking tin, old lace, and more books. These will be used for an upcoming class project (sneak peek coming soon).


Husband bought this adorable cat jar for me for our upcoming anniversary. Isn't she adorable? She's in my craft room now. I need to find something really special to put inside.


Old photos.


I found a vendor at a local flea market selling some handmade items to support her dog rescue. I loved the little notebooks, so I had to buy one. I also bought a sweet flower ring.


We also traveled out to our favorite farm stand for peach ice cream. They are only open three months out of the year, so I need to get out there as often as possible, even if it is a three-hour roundtrip!

Recent Treasures

I've tried to do a little hunting and gathering when we're out. I have a few tiny treasures to show.

A few old cabinet cards, tiny broken bisque doll, and Victorian buckler.


Vintage fabric, metal carriage, and doll.


I also purchased some old player piano rolls. I'll be turning these into a project that I'll be teaching later this year...
