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!

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.

 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

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. 

Pretty Sour Cream

My newest vintage obsession is sour cream glasses.  I was looking through this months Martha Stewart and there was an article about them, and I fell in love!  I had seen jelly jars that people could use as glasses after all the jelly was gone, but never sour cream ones.  They have such awesome vintage patterns.  I don’t think I will be finding any unless I buy them online…but I can hope to find a hoarder’s estate sale with some!  Don’t you wish sour cream and other products still came in containers like these?!?  I do!

Moving Ahhh...

I spent all weekend moving! After almost getting a washing machine dropped on me and breaking the French press...it is finished!!!  I don’t know where anything is and spent almost an hour looking for the darn TRASH BAGS and dish detergent!  I am working on finding awesome retro piece to transform my apartment.  There are boxes every where, as soon as they are all packed away I will post pictures!!    My tomato plants made it through the move and I have six big tomatoes just waiting to turn.  Well...just a short update since I have not posted in forever!  The end
