Sometimes I feel sorry for stuffed animals sent to live in thrift shops

 This ballerina bunny seemed sad sitting on the shelf of a church thrift store. I didn't have the heart to leave it there. I find it odd I feel sorry for a non living object....
But there isn't much I can do about it.

 This box was sitting on a table at a garage sale. The top has written in pen "For Books" Naturally I thought books were inside and I passed by it. This happened two Saturdays back when my Grandma was still here visiting. Her and my Mom opened the box and said "Melanie Look" Inside was a small pile of vintage baby clothes. If you have been with my blog for awhile you will know that I have been buying up vintage baby items for my "Future baby coconuts" Who we will start trying for some time in the Fall.
(Eeeep it's really creeping up quickly isn't it???)

P.S. When out thrifting and saling make sure to always look in things
(Even if you think you know whats inside, you might just get a nice surprise.)
This also applies to BAD surprises
If you want to know more click the above link.

 This one has a few small age spots on it.
 *Gah* This ones so sweet
 Look at the inside tag (Baby Lingerie??) *hehe*
 This is just Gorgeous. It is so delicate and dainty. Above the dress is a little hat, I would have loved to have more info on this fancy little dress.
 This little pastel dress trimmed with green ribbon comes with the cutest little bloomers!
This dress was not in the box. I purchased it this weekend at Salvation Army for $1.
It makes me think of lemon cake iced with lace. Underneath is a little silky yellow slip.
 This was the most worn piece in the box. I think it's seen better days. But when I do have a little coconut. I want a few of little rompers in this style. They would be perfect for those hot summer days.

Finds for me!!!

 Buxton jewelry box $3 (My jewelry box collection might be getting a little out of hand but I just can't help it. Especially at that price.)
 It has hooks for necklaces and two drawers. It was a little dirty sitting on the store shelf, but every mark came off with a damp cloth.
 High heel shoe cell phone holder. Too small for my new phone but I am sure I will find something for it to hold on my vanity table. $1
 Found this at the flea market. $2 I am crazy about the black designed bottle.
 Found this one at the same time as the black one above but from a different seller. I paid her asking price which was $4.
 Found at the garage sale that had the baby clothes, this perfume was in a box of old perfumes & lotions. I paid $1. And some woman who came after it was already in my hand was glaring my down like a venomous cobra!

 This also will have a place on my vanity (Hazel)

Here is something that will NOT have a place on my vanity
*LOL*

 I don't know what it is about Mr. Brand but he just makes me laugh. I love watching him in interviews I swear he is in my top funny people inside my brain. Book was 50 cents at a garage sale.
Ballerina Bunny says *Bye Bye*
