A Thrifting Day 
A call this week from a friend to see if I wanted to go thrifting was met with great enthusiasm! 
I found a vintage sewing basket, in a pale blue.... (some of these finds were from my favorite antiques shoppe)
Sweet vintage angel....
Old blue quilted glove box and a "hat" which is a blue bow with netting.
A vintage "silent butler" or crumb tray, that I will use for cleaning up all my paper scraps at my studio work table. (I am messy when creating :)
Vintage Meyercord decals of sweet kittens, bunnies, and ducks.
Vintage Christmas Card with faded ribbon....
In one of my favorite color combos of pink and green.
Most of all, a fun afternoon with a friend!! :)

Does sound like fun!! You find the most marvellous things! I have that hat in dark blue, it came in one of the hat boxes I shared on my blog. I will have to take pictures of the hats that came in those hat boxes sometime.
Oh and that is the sweetest little angel you found!
Great finds! I'm glad you had such success, and enjoyed the time with your friend! Wish I could go!

You have the sweetest blog. I am going to come back here more often.
I wish while it is still fresh in your mind you could blog on how you changed your background. I want to change mine but am afraid I will lose everything.
Yours looks very nice.

What a nice way to spend the day. You found lots of pretties.....I especially like the darling sewing basket...have a happy weekend..hugs, Linda
Hi Becca.. You scored big time on your shopping trip. What lovely vintage goodies you found. I just love those vintage sewing boxes and handkerchief/glove boxes. I have several of them myself and they make wonderful display pieces and are so useful for storing odds and ends.
Have a great weekend!!
Hi Becca, I haven't been in blogland for awhile, now trying to "catch up"! lol Your new "finds" are wonderful, love those little kitties. I would like to change my background too, like Becky said, can you e-mail me or post a blog about how to do it? Thanks,
Bunnies, did you say Bunnies!!! : ) How cute those are. And I love the Angel too, you found great treasures! I hope you are having a great weekend!

You got some great stuff!! I think I'm going to call mom and see if she wants to plan a thrifting day this week. I need one =) Have a beautiful Sunday. Blessings.. Polly
Absolutely love your blog! The vintage card and button crusted heart are divine.
You found the cutest stuff! I really love the old decals. Don't you just love to go thrifting? It's one of my favorite things to do!

Oh my gosh, Becca - I LOVE the sewing box and the butler and that little angel and the hat with netting - I love it all!! Did you find it all at the same store? You definitely were there at the right time!...Donna
Sounded like the perfect day Becca!
I like the blue sewing box best, but the vintage xmas card and decals are close behind!
Nice finds!
That does sound like a fun afternoon.
Love the cute decals!

Love thrifting! You found some beauties. A great idea using your silent butler for paper scraps! Thanks for stopping by to see my shabby white piano. Painting around the keys is tricky. I depressed the keys with my left hand while painting with my right hand. I used a very small brush, so it took some time, especially 3 coats!
Oh what fun! I love looking at all of your finds! They are all precious and I can imagine the fun you had finding these beauties....ohhh, the thrill of the hunt! I really love the sewing basket with the vintage flowers and the mint green crumb thing with the flowers...great finds...hope you have a great night!

Each one of these treasures had your name on it!
I especially love the blue bucket in the first picture...just as sweet as can be!
What a sweet day you had with a good friend!
Love,

What wonderful treasures you found. I loved them all. I found a sewing basket like yours except mine is pink. Wanted to invite you back to visit me since I am up and going now. I even have my etsy stated with one item.
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Becca! Look at the price of those decals $.29! Those were the days; probably $3-4 now! Looks like you found quite a few good things. Always fun to get away from laundry for a while!!! Glad you had a nice day - Sincerely, Jeannette
Oh Becca! That blue sewing chest and that silent butler are gorgeous. I am in love with that shade of blue lately. I also love your new border. Very pretty!
Oh what wonderful treasures you found!
You CLEANED UP, Miss Becca Bluebird! Awesome finds!
Wowee! That was a treasure of an invitation. I love all the goodies.
Those are some great finds :) I'll have to add visits to antique stores as well as thrift stores.
I was recently tagged with an "I Love Your Blog" award and wanted to pass it on to you. Please come by my site to pick it up :)
