Wow. Have I been on blog vacation or what? This month has flown right by me. I've been so busy with life and work and trying to make changes to current situations. I'd love to talk about them, but I can't until things are for certain. I will say I submitted some of my photography to a local (and my favorite) art gallery Tangent Lab for a juried photography contest. It's my first year entering, and I made the cut! I'm not sure what was selected or how many. I will find out later today and am so excited for it. The show will be at the end of the month. I'll definitely be taking pictures of the event!This weekend is pretty low-key for me, and it feels great. I get tired of the rush-rush need to do this and that. Before I know it, the weekend is over, and I'm back at work. This weekend is welcomed. Today, I went to an antique mall and browsed for three hours. These are my finds.
I'm always on the lookout for fun type blocks. F is the start of my last name if you didn't know.
The ceramic bottle on the left I purchased some time ago at a Goodwill store. I was lucky enough to find the perfect match for it today - the white one on the right. Now I need one more to make the set complete – something smaller though.
I don't own too many thermoses. I'm very particular about the look of them. This one is in great condition and the price was just right.
Finally!! I found top No. 3 to complete my set. Hmm, maybe I'll go for five. It's one I've seen all over etsy and ebay but wasn't willing to pay $15 for it. I got this one half off. Score! The other two tops are here and here. I love vintage toys. The graphics are fun and I'm drawn to the materials they're made out of, instead of the plastic toys nowadays. I don't have kids, but when I do, they will have a kick-ass decorated room. The item on the right is a balloon pump.
Is this not the cutest clock? I remember one from my childhood. I'm sure that's also why I'm drawn to these toys. I'm very happy with my finds today. Happy Saturday!
Great finds Amy! I love the ceramic bottle and the adorable clock. Congrats on getting accepted at Tangent Lab! I can't wait to go see the exhibit. :)
Definitely a kindred spirit -- I have a collection of vintage thermoses similar to the one you pictured, a display of old type blocks, and a bunch of vintage fisher price toys, although I'm still looking for one of those clocks to add to the collection. I remember having one as a child!
