*Goodies for my Girlies*

Brooklyn and I had a day at our favorite antique stores. We always have so much fun! I loved the little pewter horses. Brooklyn just loves horses and I am thinking I might start a small collection for her. I have been looking for a neat little mail box for a while. I saw the idea on another blog, but I would like to put it outside the girls' bedroom door, and sneak surprises in it from time to time...stickers, candy, letters...I think I might paint the box white. I saw the embroidered "C" low on a shelf, and had to get it! It is even more pretty in person. Brooklyn and I decided that we must have heart shaped cookie cutters to make cookies for Valentines day. I am not sure what I will do with the old keys, they just caught my eye. I saw the little tiny purse in a tucked away booth...it has to be very old. When I picked it up, and saw that it was only $2.99, I had to buy it! I think some little girl must have loved this little purse.


I have wanted to buy Brooklyn a little doll high chair for quite some time. It seems like anything of the miniature variety is priced higher, too much for me. Brooklyn and I saw the little chair at the same time, and she said, "Oh mom, Look!" I smiled at our shared enthusiasm, and then closed my eyes as I turned the tag to see the price...$20, with an additional 20% off! A far cry from the $59 they want for this one, and I think this vintage pretty has so much more character!

And then there is this sweet little vintage doll dresser. I love the little flowers! Brooklyn loved this too, no doubt in no time the little drawers will be filled with her little trinkets. This was only $12!

I am so blessed! I am so thankful that Brooklyn loves to go antiquing with me, or to help me with the dishes, or to sit and drink tea. Having a daughter is very special. Seeing yourself in them, thats special too. I can't believe that soon, I will have two!

I think I just might make *goodies for my girlies" a regular post.... :o)

Happy Thursday!
