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.

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
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
