Today I went...

Hello Tuesday! It was so nice outside today! That is until it started raining, but at least it isn't snowing anymore. I went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with two of my best friends, Christina and Mark. We stuffed our faces and then walked around the mall until Christina had to go to work. After she went to work, I really wanted to stay outside because it was beautiful, so I went to one of my favorite antique stores!

Here is what I found...

This aqua quilted fabric storage box. The color really stole my heart and it's perfect for organizing my jewelry.

I found some vintage green buttons. You can never have enough button :). Two Old Style pins that say You Got Style. I'm going to give one to my friend and keep one for myself. Another pin that says "A Pirates Life" with a sparrow, hearts, and flowers... it's not vintage but it was only 50 cents. I also found this Marilyn Monroe book.

I also found this set of nesting dolls. They're in PERFECT condition and they're so adorable. I love them. I was really excited when I found them and I have to find the perfect place for them.

Then I found this great shirt with a bunch of anchors and compasses on it. It's the perfect weight for the summer! I can't wait for summer.

Tomorrow after class, I'm going to go to a few thrift stores and two antique stores so hopefully I'll find a cute typewriter and some cute squirrels! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday and be sure to check out my 10 Things I Love Monday post.

  11. Cute blog. :)

    I love all your antique store finds. They are all so cute, especially those nesting dolls. One of my favorite things to do is spend an entire Saturday antique shopping for random things. I wish I had money right now to do that. Lol.
