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.

Those tea cups are priceless. (They kind of look like they have a teal hemp leaf on them!) I wish I could come for your holiday cocktail party.

I need to start getting rid of things by the end of the year. I have no idea where we're going to, but it probably won't be here. I'll be sure and put certain things aside for you.

Oh! And I have those exact same editions of the Willy Shakes. I thought they were so pretty. I think there's supposed to be two of each (comedy and Tragedy) and I only have two also. Maybe you have the two that I don't, and I could mail you mine for a complete collection?
