Good junk: cloches, Valentines, chenille, and more

I think this blog has distilled down into two categories: Stuff I've Made and Stuff I've Dragged Home. I may start titling as such.

Today's entry falls into the Stuff I've Dragged Home category:

Darling little cloche from the thrift store. Can't believe it's not chipped or otherwise marred, but it's in perfect condition. Love the swirls. It's about 8" tall.

This loot came from an estate sale that I happened upon when I went to a graduation party for my cousin. It was a few streets away and it was Saturday afternoon so everything was 50% off.

I picked up this fabulous blue chenille bedspread at the estate sale too. I love it but it might end up in my etsy shop. Maren has the only twin bed in the house and although the colors are perfect for her room, vintage chenille bedspreads and daybeds and 5-year-olds aren't the best combination.

 This vintage Christmas stuff came from an estate sale I went to last weekend. I was actually there just a few minutes after it opened, which was just in time to see a man walk past me with a box of vintage NOMA bubble lights and a big box of aluminum reflectors. Gah! I hate knowing what I'm missing! But I did find a small box full of these goodies. See those little teardrop-shaped ornaments in the middle? They're the most perfect shade of aqua and they're gloriously shabby. Sigh.

The frame made of rulers came from a brand-new Goodwill that just opened (yay!), the Campfire girls candy box from the same estate sale as the chenille bedspread (I think it will go out with my 4th of July decor) and the old box of pen nibs (headed to etsy) and Jell-o molds came from the same sale as the vintage Christmas stuff. I am physically unable to leave behind those little Jell-o molds. Can't do it.

Good junk, eh? I went back to the Jell-o mold sale on 50% off day and scored more good stuff. Photos to come next week!
