Thrifting and a surprise ~

I hope everyone has had a good week and I hope you are enjoying your Saturday ;-)

The little retirement community in Harrow had a yard sale and Mr. Vintage and I couldn't resist.  Here are some of my treasures ~
A little hen in a nest ~ I couldn't resist her




 Little vintage mirror, I will find a place for you ~


Two galvanized buckets ~ I bought three, but I gave one to my neighbour ~ she deserves it ;-)


My lemonade box ~ it made me smile ~ and then
This cute hat box. But, when I opened it ~ WOW ~!

Two vintage hats were inside.  The lady that sold it to me told me that it was a "special hat box".  I didn't open it right there, but now I know what she meant.  What a sweet lady.  There are still many wonderful people in this world.  How blessed we are when one crosses our path.  I will always remember her smile as she told me to enjoy the hat box. THANK YOU sweet one.

I hope you have a fabulous day ~ Did you go thrifting today?

I can hardly wait for you to tell me


(((Hugs)))

  5. Score!! Those are probably the best yard sales to go to as the older folks have all the good old stuff we love.

  12. Oh Marianne, what a lovely surprise in your hat box! How sweet of her!
    I didn't get to go thrifting this weekend! :( We had our own garage sale instead. :P But it turned out great-a lot of work but great!
    Thanks for sharing you wonderful goodies with us.
    I had a chicken like that except she was red and I ended up getting rid of her and now...I so regret it!
    hugs to you,
    sonya

  13. I was reading this thinking I'd missed out on a real fab sale - Harrow being just up the road to me. Then I realised you are in Canada and I'm in the UK, so chances are it wasn't the same place! Great treasures. I think I like the lemonade box best. xx
