i.am.exhausted...

i must say i will be thrilled after i get everything finished for the booth. initially i was worried that i wouldn't have enough to fill my space so i have been to more thrift stores, goodwills, dav's and garage sales then i can keep track of. i have gone to at least one of the above every day just trying to find great items. in my last post i said the hardest part was knowing how to price things...i take that back. the hardest part is not keeping things for yourself! i have a "wait and see" pile...i set those extra special items aside for awhile. i try to buy only things that i love, but then i love them!

i have to share one of my all time favorite finds. i walked into one of my favorites and the girls said that everything was half off. awesome! i headed strait for the furniture because i was needing some for my booth. there it was...
a 1950's GE refridgerator!!!!! i looked it over, checked inside, it was plugged in and cold. it was really clean which surprised me. the tag said $100, so for $50 i practically stole the coolest fridge ever! i will post a pic on monday, with lots of other pics. (booth pics)

here are some of the things i have found:
unused baby books from 1950's w/the best graphics!
vintage linens
hand sewn dolly clothes
old needlepoint purse
pretty dishes
vanity
sweet baby print
vintage sewing items
shabby dresser
silver pieces
and more!

i can't wait to see how everything comes together! and you'll get to see too, on monday. see ya then!
