Fall Thrifting

Something about fall makes me want to go thrifting and today was no exception. I found some amazing things and nothing exceeded my $10 or less budget.

I found an amazing vintage oil painting for the living room for $4.99 as well as a couple smaller paintings for the entry way.
As I have become more and more obsessed with glassware and serving platters/bowls/ect I spent a fair amount of time in the back of the shop looking for inspiration. I found a set of 4 teacups decorated in teal, black, pink & yellow that I could not stand to leave and at fifty cents a piece why would I?
Erik & I are planning a holiday cocktail party and are in the process of accumulating mid century tumblers, shot glasses and stemware, these silver leaf tumblers were a must have.
I love books and cant help but buy vintage editions of classics whenever I find them. I've started displaying them in the guest bedroom.
I am currently obsessed with both the color navy blue & vintage clutches. Finding a navy blue eel skin clutch was magic.
I love plaid for fall. I'm planning on shortening the sleeves and wearing this shirt with a skinny black patent belt, my Frye boots & jeans.
I love amber colored glass. I'm starting to dig out my fall decorations and this bowl fits perfectly in my design for the new house this season.
