The Little Things In Life

I never, ever buy anything on Ebay.  I have faith I will find things one day in my thrifting, but..... I had to have these hanging elves!!  I saw them for the first time a few weeks ago online.  I have no idea why I love them so much.  Possibly it is the fact that I can hang them on random things and their little booty will stick out! :-) haha Can't wait for them to arrive! 

My Dream Car...

I always say I am going to drop out of life, buy a vintage VW van and become a professional protester...  Well...I will at the very least have the van one day.

It will be teal, of course! 

And when I am driving it, I will pretend I am these people in the vintage advertisement.  :-)


On the same, but oh so different note.  I found this cute Lego Van on Pinterest.

 
Too bad it's 162 bucks on Amazon!  $162 for LEGOS?!  That is why I wish I lived in the time of the advertisement above! 

What I aspire to be in life...

Pyrex Birthday Cake

My awesome sister made me this cake for my birthday!  She made it look like the Pyrex primary fridge dish set!  She Rocks! 

Vintage Rubbermaid Turquoise Laundry Basket

 I found this awesome Rubbermaid turquoise laundry basket this morning at an estate sale for 2 bucks! 

 

 It's so tiny!

 

I was so thrilled to spot it.  It was filled with a ton of jar rings that they were trying to sell in the basket.  I went over to the guy and asked if I could buy just the laundry basket.  I swear sometimes at estate sales these folks think I'm crazy.   We settled on 2 bucks and I went on my way thrilled!  I can totally understand how most people do not understand or share my enthusiasm on finding these things, and I am most definitely okay with that!  I think I will be using it in my turquoise/red kitchen for dirty kitchen towels!  :-) 

Turquoise Metal Wheat Dish- Pyrex

Let me just say...When I saw this dish at a yard sale today...I was more than excited.  Then I asked the price and could hardly contain myself.  TWO DOLLARS!  I recently saw one selling for around $70 on Ebay.   I love a good deal! :-) Sorry for the bad cell phone picture, I will post more later!  Now time to make room on the shelf! 

Teal Canister Set

I am in love with my new Aqua Canister Set I found this week at the flea market!!  Wish I knew who made them...
