Monday’s Treasure Hunt

Written by admin on March 31st, 2008

Oh dear, I had to renew my driver’s license this morning.  I should have done it last week on my birthday (or sooner), but I forgot. 

Don’t tell anyone I am a year older.  :)

Anyway, this morning after getting my license — on which the photo is just stunning, I might add — I stopped by the thrift store.  I saw a thrift store buddy while there, so we chatted a bit and exchanged thrifty gossip.

The first treasure I found was this very old phone (you can tell by the four-pronged, large, square wall plug).  I made a B-line to it and put it in my basket.  I hope I can get it converted to use in my old home.  If not, I will find something to do with it.  It would be a great toy in a little girl’s room, right?

The second thing I found was this old_looking mirror.  It looks like metal around the edges, but it’s heavy plastic.  I will certainly find a place for it once cleaned up. Maybe even on my potting bench. A girl’s gotta look good in the garden, right?

You know me and books… and gardening.  Thus, the rose book.  I’m sure I can glean some info from this.  The old book next to it just pulled on my heart strings, as all old books do.  The book on the right is a book for recording baby memories.  I have no idea what I’ll do with it yet, but it is so pretty and the pages so heavy and nice.  The books are sitting on a nice linen/cotton tablecloth that I’ll wash and put up for using on my old kitchen table.

I found princess of the universe a great hooded sweatshirt from Old Navy, and myself a new-looking black skirt from Eddie Bauer. 

Last of all is a very nice frame to put in an old picture of my mother that she recently gave me. 

Today’s thought: 

Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them.

Happy Monday,

    Hi ~
    Just wanted to stop by ~ I really enjoy your blog. I like your style. I enjoy growing and using herbs and I am trying to grow my hair long (its only at middle of the back now). I love making trips to the thrift store, you never know what goodies you may find.
    Have a lovely day!

    Lady Laurie, I love your name! I have a close friend who calls me Lady Lynn. :)

    Hair to the middle of your back is really long. Just keep growing it. I am finding a few grays these days, but that’s okay.

    Your blog is beautiful! I love roses and that wonderful antique charm.

    Lynn
