Fun finds and what I'm in love with...

Oh, yeah, baby! A good yard sale weekend! Just a quick note to brag...I mean... share what I found. I signed up for Estatesales.net, and they let me know if there's any in my area. BRILLIANT, I say! So, I went to one yesterday and found these fun things:

Party hats, baby! Look at that yummy fringe...

Purple Candy box

Random Christmas decorations
Velvet ribbon (which is gonna have to be bleached) and the mirror half of a compact:
A couple of certificates:



Miscellaneous stuff: a cool binder with school notes very meticulously written in PURPLE ink (sooo cool!), a vintage box of pastels, chenille stems, vintage reinforcements, a cute little nut cup and a sweet little bird (LOVE this one!)

A Christmas carols songbook with beautiful pictures:

Two glove boxes (?). These would make cool shadowboxes, I think.

And my favorite find of the day...Awww, isn't she cute?

So, today, I stumbled on an Estate sale that was really more of a yard sale, because most of the stuff was new. That's kind of a pet peeve of mine. I think estate sale inplies vintage stuff, but, I guess, technically, it's just the stuff of people's lives. I don't know...does this bother you?

Any way, I found this:

I LOVE this thing! I have wanted a Vintage fan forever, so, I'm not sure I will be able to sell it. But, what do you think? Should I paint it, or leave it as is? I don't want to commit some kind of desecrating-the-vintage-fan-by-painting-it sin. What would you do?

This is my favorite find today:

How fabulously chippy is this beauty? {gasp} I'm in love with a chippy cherub...

Have a great weekend!
