treasure hunting Monday...it was magical! ( and a bit lucky!)

Set of 8 frosted State of Oregon landmark glasses...

 pretty little things...

 bucket, jar, and crafty curtain rounds...

 a bit of girly things...

 crafty letters...and fun old muffin tin...

 old French flash cards...

 the whole lot!

 vintage stamps and stamp pads...they are circus and travel stamps...

 and my ultimate favorite...a PERFECT Roseville child's dish...

I do like the "red" theme that I had going, too!

I think I was a bit lucky today...I hope you have great luck hunting too!

sneak peek estate sale this FRIDAY- SATURDAY

Just a peek at the items at the sale...

 somehow I missed the books...there are a lot of books and sheet music too...

 and other odds and ends...and unique vintage lamps...

 lots of fun!

hope you have a great weekend hunting for treasures!

address posted on estate sale finder on Thursday afternoon!

treasure hunting on a Tuesday...fun fun fun!

Not a lot of treasures...

 but huge flash cards make me so happy...and since this is my second set of these, I will sell these ones!

 suitable for framing, the box says...( I have to agree!)

 and then, there is this "Cling-Foil"...

 an unopened roll of this paisley paper...in pinks and gold foil...

happy happy!
Good luck hunting out there!

happy hunting out there!

an interesting find...do you know what they are?

found this set of lights when I was out picking today...

I am pretty sure they have never been used...

but I think they are missing their "plug ins"...

so I have to hit the hardware store for help...

but there are stakes that these lights sit on, and a long cord

that plugs in... then they should light up...

 but I would love to know if anyone has ever seen these lit up and functioning...or how old they might be...

 I thought they might help light up my walkway...it can get really quite dark at night...

 so if you have seen these...or know anything about them...I would love you to jot me a line...

 I do think they are kinda cool!

happy hunting out there!

the studio...part one...I am in need of inspiration!

I desperately wanted a round table for my studio...and after hunting (and not finding) at STARS antique malls...I finally left the state and traveled to Vancouver and all the shops there...no table...so I drove over to Camas Antique Mall where I found this beauty for a mere $58! so happy I was! so the hubby put wheels on the feet...since it is a closet sized studio I will have to move it around a bit...

 but I am having such a hard time with this tiny little space...it feels so "cold"...not chilly but cold...(you know what I mean?)

 this stack of hatboxes is not just "cute" but everything in here has to have a purpose...(like storage)!

 and I have started organizing all of my letters in these wee little drawers...

 of course, my red velvet Jesus is here...

 and my two original Lisa Kaus flowers are hung...

the other wall has another work table and drawers...but I just can't help feeling that it is not coming together...
what do I need? why does it not feel right?
any thoughts?

Hubby's birthday!

happy birthday to my wonderful hubby...

vintage hats galore...SCORE!

Yesterday I stopped somewhere I had never been before...

 and these had just been donated...(and ready for me to scoop up!)

 from cool feathered hats...

 to velvet, fur and wool...

 to the most fun "party" hats...these grey and pink ones are my favorites...someone loved them enough

 to stuff the bows with paper to keep them fluffy!

 and the see through hat boxes...they came with the purchase...

 along with this one...

 yep...

I am thinking that I scored yesterday!
but that was last year...:)
here is hoping that we all "score" some yummy finds in 2013!
Happy hunting out there!
