Tea time & Show and tell

*Apple tea is delicious*
Have you ever accidentally posted your blog post before you were even near finished? Well it just happened to me for the second time. And I will tell you what, doing that always makes me super anxious. *lol* (I start freaking out thinking) "omg omg what do I do ahhh hurry fix it"

So here is the secret item I was holding whilst caped in the wilderness. One person guessed right to what it was. It is a 60's picnic set!


I have been wanting a Picnic ball for awhile now and whenever I came across them I thought they were over-priced. But guess what? This one was sitting on the shelf with a price tag of $2.50 *SCREAM* I grabbed the handle so fast thank God it was all put together right or I could have flung plastic dishes all around the whole isle in my happiness. The set is missing one item (a cup) I won't worry much about it right now as 5 seems like plenty.


*Men's vintage hat*
$0.99



*Inside of hat*


*Funky Faux Fur*

$3.00

~Story time~


I see this hat on a shelf in a thrift on Sunday afternoon. I dashed towards it as.. well it is rather unique. Thinking it was quite nifty I picked it up and went looking for Mr. Coco. Once I found him I said "Look at this hat isn't it cool?"

He said: "It looks like a POO" *Laughter ensues* "No! (I reply back) It's ribbed for her pleasure!!! *More laughter ensues*

So then I wasn't even gonna get the damn thing since Mr. Coco said it looked like Poo. But when it was almost time to leave I just NEEDED to try it on.. He was with me when I did and then said: "Well it looks nice on"
I really don't know.. But I did not wanna leave it behind.

What do you think? *laugh*


*Ceramic pomander Ball*
$0.50

Blanket folded together so you can see all the pics
*Adorable embroidered baby blanket for future Coconut babies*

Just found this today (Was hidden within a shelf full of Afghans)

SCORE!

*Unfolded*


*BEAVER*
&
*Kitten* (It may seem odd I chose those two animals to show up close.. It was not intentional.. I am just starting to realize the weirdness over it right now. And that is why the animal above is being called a kitten.)
*lol* Gorgeous green dress
$1.00

(This dress does not fit me, if it had I would have totally wore it for FOF)


*Tear*

Sexy Garter (Which is so flipping tiny I have not a clue who would have owned it. )
BUT.. I stuffed it in a bag sale and will sell it in the future.

*Look at the sparkly Ric Rac*

And the brand engraved clips
(It really is too darn sweet)

Now we will go from HOT to cold with these Snowbelle winter boots I found.

They had a $5.00 price tag and are in excellent condition.
Maybe they will look nice with my white furry ball hat I found last week.

(Am not even gonna say.. what it is)
"He called out to me from a huge pile of unwanted stuffed fuzzies"

He has a tag on him that says his names "SKIPPER" and the company that made him is called Maplefootedbabies. *heheh*


*Shhh now... don't tell anyone I was here, or my where-a-bouts, what I bought or my recipe for chocolate chip mint cookies*
*Disappears into a thick fog*

  1. Great picnic set! Those sure are neat.
    Did you say $250? Or did you mean $2.50?! 250 seems steep to me, (mind you $2.50 is ridiculously cheap..) but I'm an op=shop scrooge!

  3. @OP SHOP MAMA Oh LORD no not $250.00 *heheh*
    Just Two dollars and fifty cents. *hahah* There is a little decimal in there but my blog font kinda messes with it.

    Gosh I have not one clue what I would pay 250.00 for at a thrift shop... Maybe a antique piece of furniture in immaculate condition. But that is about it. (I am a cheapo!) haha

  4. Oh how I love your Show'n'tell posts!
    So much to admire...
    Fabulous picnic set, never seen one like that before.
    Hats... all great, I rather like the furry poo hat, I think it's more like a Mr Whippy ice cream, does that make it more acceptable?
    The future Coconut Baby is very lucky to have such a gorgeous blanket waiting for him/her (beavers and "kittens" indeed, hahahaha!)
    Lovely dress, garter and boots AND a lobster - does it get any better than that???
    You sure did well, but shhh, I'll keep it a secret...

  5. I have totally accidently posted halfway through sentences then I hurry to finish. I bought a garter recently too it is so freaking tiny. You're lucky the vintage hats are so cheap, here they want anything from $10-$25 ridic I tell ya. Great job I won't tell anyone what you bought but that's only if you give me a cookie.

  8. Dear Lordy that vintage frock is fabulous, what a shame it doesn't fit, I'd have been beside myself!
    I love that hat on you. All the ones I come across are far too small for my massive head. It's far more ice cream cornet than a poo, how rude!!
    Those furry boots are so cute, you'll be looking fabulous this winter that's for sure. x

  13. The "poo" hat!! Bahahahaa!! Too much! lol! I Like the last hat on you a lot! The dress is so pretty and the color is awesome! I also adore that lobster, "Skipper!" I have a weakness for lobsters too! I won't even eat the real thing! Whenever I see them in a tank at a store or restaurant, I want to set them free! Makes me sad! Nevertheless, that garter belt is hawt! Too bad it is so tiny because I would take it in a heartbeat!
