i've been up to some major thrift shopping lately.
in fact, two days entirely devoted to such with my mom.
+ oh boy did we find some goodies.

.a few more books.

.a bunch of the cutest vintage teacups.
.for a special place i am working on.
.for your eyes soon.

.especially the set of these two.
.that are exactly the same as my grandmother used to have.
.i can still remember her sipping her coffee out of these every morning.
.and now i do too.

.a lot of new milk glass.
.every piece is divine.
.i especially love the lamp.
{but will be replacing the shade, however}.

.the sweetest antique bread box.

.a darling blue cake stand.
.that i am basically in love with.

.+ two matching ice cream bowls.
.i never knew how sweet ice cream was
until i ate some out of this perfect bowl.

.cameras!.
.two polaroids {$5 each!} + a kodak instamatic.
.all in working, pristine condition.
.+ 2 with their original cases.

.polaroid colorpack II.

.polaroid 50, sun 600.

.kodak instamatic x35f.

.+ a few not-so-new purchases.
.this adorable ring.
.that goes with these shoes.

.this perfect little ceramic cupcake.
.perfect for holding {something that i will think of later}
that has taken residence on my kitchen windowsill.

.finally got my i am not a paper cup.
.perfection.

.+ the piece a la resistance.
.a vintage royal typewriter.
.that still works.
.for $10.
.heaven.
