this sweet beatiful mess

so this was wednesday thrift store day. my little sister macki (she'll always be my little sister) & her two precious kiddos, noah & mia & i set out in search of treasures. (i even got to go with her in her new shiny honda odyssey mini-van--it is SO nice!!) we went to the 2nd chance thrift store, one of my favorite places to go. i even spotted my fun friend julie there in search of treasures, too! we had so much fun--& these are just a few of the things i found today: these mugs had to be my favorite find! i love how retro they are!

i am also a HUGE tin collector/addict. i love tins. old, vintage tins that come from england or something & originally kept biscuits, cookies or toffees or "golden toffee wafers" in them. i started a long time ago with vintage christmas tins...& now have moved into more...i love the colors of this one!

this was a sneaky find: it was on a cart of goodies that had just come fresh from the back of the 2nd chance store & had yet to be put out. i often see people "oogling" the carts...if you have shopped here, you know what i mean. :) this is a "baby ben" clock--the kind you have to actually wind to keep going. it's heavy, too. LOVE this. except the ticking sounds a little like a bomb in a box....

anyways...that's it for today. hope you all are surviving the heat!
