The Bug

My sister (though she will not fully admit it) has caught the thrifting bug :-).  She got me this stuff for my birthday and set it up in her drive way when I came to visit her. 

Christmas Came Early

My family did Christmas last night...these are a few things...

My sister got me the Black Snow Flake Pyrex casseroles, the coffee cups and Colonial Mist bowl!  The whole family got me the white and yellow Gooseberry!

My dad with his vintage Woolworth Christmas ornaments!

I found these cute mugs tonight at Goodwill.  I am not sure who made them, but I am thinking Glasbake.   

Correction:  Found out they are Hazel Atlas.  For sale on my Esty.  Link

Sour Cream Update

I recently blogged about reading an article in Martha Stewart about collecting sour cream glasses(Link).  I never thought I would find one...but I blogged about my first yellow one and now I found another!  My birthday was last week and I went antique shopping in Landrum, NC.  On the way I passed this farm house with these two old guys having a yard sale (by the way it was Thursday).   I got this glass for 25 cents! 

I was very dirty but cleaned up great!  I also had a very long conversation with the two old men about tattoos.  They liked my Rosie and told me they wanted woody the wood pecker, and the other one wanted a monkey with a lawn mower shaving the chest hair off his chest! 


And this was my birthday present to myself...

Couldn't Turn It Down

Sooo...this weekend My sister and I went to a yard sale(twice) that was about four houses down from my parents house.  The first time I left with these two vintage yellow tables.  Which I might add were only $1 each!!! 

 Sorry for the bad cell phone picture.
I plan to paint them, I will post pictures of the finished product.  As we were leaving the first time, I see them putting out a door, yes a door.  We left and my sister convinced me to go back about 45 mins later because I wouldn't stop talking about how I needed the door ha.  When we get there I hear the lady tell someone that the door is $2.  TWO DOLLARS for a door....yep.  My sister and I carried this door down the side of the road to my parents house, because it would not fit in the car.

Now I have a $2 door.  I WILL find something fabulous to do with it!

Apple Pickin'

Last week my family went to an Apple Orchard in Morganton, NC.  We picked about 6 bushels of apples mostly for my sister to make apple sauce.  Its such a beautiful place and the apples are very easy to pick! 

And of course I put my apples on display in my Spring Blossom Pyrex Bowl! :-)

I posted awhile back about my new love for vintage sour cream glasses.  I was at the flea market a few weeks ago and I was looking through these boxes of what looked like a bunch of trash.  THEN...I found this sour cream glass!!  The best part is that it was only 50 cent!  Its the start of my collection.

Etsying It Up

So...I have been debating on starting an Etsy site for quite some time now.  I questioned if people would buy my items or even SEE them because so many people post items on there.  The other night I decided I was just going to go for it and see if anyone buys my stuff.  I did a few days of research and from that I was even more confused how Etsy worked.  I eventually figured it out and I got a few items posted.  The second day someone bought something!!!  We will see how it goes...I'm slowly uploading things.  Check it out.

Ashley's Etsy Site

Meet Boozer

Claustrophobic

This is the line form the estate sale I went to this afternoon.  I was number 74 in line.  This sale was advertised online and they had one snow flake Pyrex in one of the photos.  I figured it would be gone by the time I even got in the front door.  They let all 100 or so people lined up in the house all at once needless to say it was crowed in there!  As quickly as I could, I made my way to the kitchen and almost knocked over a little old lady...but I got my Pyrex! :-) 

This is probably my new favorite piece!

Name:  Snow Flake
Type:  Casserole Dish
Year:  1957

I also picked up these two magazines.  Home furnishing guide form 1967 and the Carolina Co-Operator from 1943! 

Cathrineholm

Cathrineholm History

Cathrineholm was an ironworks, located near the town of Halden in Norway, which started production in 1907. Originally the ironworks manufactured wrought iron products and agricultural equipment, but due to changing economic circumstances it later evolved into producing enamel kitchenware. The company closed in 1970.
 

 This picture is from a really cool blog...Link

 These guys on Etsy designed these awesome posters with Cathrineholm.  Link

Classy Jackie

I am in love with this Jackie O poster from Crate and Barrel.  I was going to say it is very Andy Warhol(ish)...then I read that it was a reprint of his ha ha.  Too bad it is $169.00!!!  I pretty much need everything that Crate and Barrel makes, I love their store!!!   Link

Julie and Julia

Currently watching this movie on Lifetime...I have seen it before and really like it.  Oh how I long to have a passion for cooking... I am going to start trying new recipes...maybe?!   I'll let you know if I really follow through with this and how they turn out. 


Ps...I finally saw The Help.  It is very true to the book which I was glad to see! 

Glass Bottles.

Found these vintage Dr. Pepper and 7 up bottles today at a thrift shop...50 cent each.  They will be awesome decorations.  Also, found a great retro shelf that I'm going to turn into a bar!!  Pictures to come soon. 

No Need For Help...

I am sure EVERYONE as heard about the book and movie "The Help" by now.  I have seen the trailer at least 100 times on TV.  But... I have to jump on the bus and tell everyone how great the book is!  I finished it in about three days and now I need something new to read!  I am also excited to see the movie even though the movies are NEVER as good as the books.  If you have not heard it before..."Go read it...now!"
