It's been too long!

I know it's been way too long, but so much has changed since my last post, and I really just needed to live life for a little while. I am no longer living in North Carolina! I will be living in California for the rest of the year and then who knows!! :) I do have a few pics of some of my California finds. I'm also attaching a couple of pics of things I brought with me to the west coast. I drove here from NC, so I only brought what I could wedge into the car. What's a girl to do when she has to leave most of her Pyrex collection at home? Buy more, of course! ;)



This is a photo from an antique store in Orange, California. Ohhh goodness. What an amazing and beautiful collection! 

Here are some thrift store finds! All this for under $3!
Another antique store photo. Wow.
Ok, this is not a vintage bottle. I saw it in Country Living Magazine and had to get it! It's at World Market for $5.99. I actually went back last night and bought another one. Way better than drinking from plastic!
Some Cali Pyrex finds!
I use my Vintage Pyrex everyday.
My kitchen counter top. Vintage melamine, Spring Blossom Green Pyrex, vintage Tupperware, and silverware in a vintage glass canister.
Pyrex!!!!! My new favorite is the daisy casserole. I found this adorable owl trivet for $10.
Thrift store mugs. 65 cents each!
   
New fiesta with my favorite vintage syrup holder. Cute. I love turquoise. :)

Cute Kitchen Cart!

Hi! Yesterday, my mom and I went to our absolute favorite antique place. It is in Concord, NC and it called "The Depot." It is actually inside the old Gibson Mill and has 85,000 square feet and 460 booths. It is supposed to be the "largest antique and designer mall in the South." It is amazing.

Always plan on buying at least one thing!!! :)

I found a super cool kitchen cart, which, after a little research I realized that it is not old at all. But it is sooo cute and super useful. Here is the stock photo.



But this is what I did with it.




Now, I know this probably looks funny in my room. Haha! :) But next year it will look awesome in my kitchen!!!


Vintage Pyrex, vintage Gemco creamer & sugar dish, vintage glass shakers, vintage Tupperware salad tongs, & vintage potholders. :)


More vintage Pyrex and vintage syrup holders.


I loooove cookbooks! :)


Anthropologie apron and dog dishtowel. The cherry dishtowel is vintage.

I bought the kitchen cart for $39! It's a little rusty and worn, but that just gives it character. I saw a new one on Ebay for $120! I love a good deal.

Thanks for looking! :)

I'm back! :)

I know it's been awhile...but this is the start of a lot more blogging. :) I have been really busy lately.....I just got married and was lucky enough to spend 11 days with my wonderful husband before he had to return to California. I know this is not thrifty vintage kitchen related, but I really wanted to share some photos of the most special day of my life....










I was pretty sad after I dropped him off at the airport, so --- of course! --- I went vintage shopping!!!! I found some good buys --- pictures to follow soon...

Getting married has made me really start thinking about things like buying a house, etc. I have been thinking for awhile about my perfect kitchen and what I want it to look like. Here are two that I LOVE that I found online:





Thanks for looking! :)
