Vintage Books and Mason Jars

I did a little personal shooting this weekend. I love the beauty in all vintage things. I have some vintage books sitting around the house and I love to look at them. There is such character in the worn covers and bent and well read pages. I also have a couple of my grandmother's vintage mason jars. I adore these and I am so thankful to have been given a couple. I always think of her when I look at them and wonder what delicious goodies she had in them. 

Adventures in Thrifting

so i love drifting through thrift stores, looking for that special item that will become my next treasure. 

its amazing what some people get rid of that is actually pretty awesome.

or decor items that you can spray a coat of paint on and make look brand new.

a couple of weekends ago, i went to check out a new Goodwill store that open in our area.

it is very clean, and their clothing is very organized and easy to go through. usually Goodwill prices their stuff a little higher than i want to pay, but i'm just spoiled with some of the smaller privately owned thrift stores where i can walk out with 3-4 outfits for $10- 15. every now and then though, you can find a good deal. 

this day i stumbled up on a marc jacobs dress for $10

 and a vintage stoneware pot for $3.99.

i love my treasures. 

can't wait until my next treasure hunt!
