Found Treasure

I haven't gone thrifting since before Christmas, but this past weekend I had the urge. I must have had the gift because I struck the mother load, and I found a pile of fantastic stuff from two or three different thrift stores.


The trick to success when thrifting is to be looking for items from more than one category. This time, I kept an eye out for teacups and saucers, bowls, and linens. The lovely little hat was one of my favorite finds; it's a 1950's grey wool cloche.

I'll show you the project I'm using all the teacups for soon. They're going to play a role in my sister's bridal shower this summer.

    This is exactly why I want to love tea. I adore teacups; they are just so delicate. And scones. I dig scones and lemon curd. I have no doubt whatever you are up to the shower will be whimsical and lovely with these beautiful teacups!

    You find the best stuff! I am thinking we need a girls trip to Chicago and you can teach us your secrets.

    Yes, please, Abby! I would love that! I got to show Sarah Lynn some of my favorite spots, but I would love to share the love!
