Thrifting Treasures

I haven't gotten the chance to spend time thrifting and antiquing lately because I don't really enjoy going by myself and our weekends usually fill up quickly with events and friends//family time. SO, this past week, I took a personal day off work and drove to meet my sister and her friend Renee for some much needed treasure hunting time!

First, we went to this amazing Antique Mall just a few minutes away from my parents' home. I've been saying, "I need to go there!" for the past couple months, so I finally made time to wander around this amazing place. I've been on the search for mid-century candy colored dinnerware and was able to score some super exciting and beautiful pieces:

1950s - Amish 2.5 Quart Pyrex

1960s - Glassbake Mugs

The picnic basket above has a special purpose that I'll be sure to share later! -- I also found some amazing clothing pieces at the thrift store that I'm sure you'll see in some of my Threads posts. See my $4.49 dress score here!

I love finding great deals and special little things for my home. I just get so excited to find special kitchenware pieces that were possibly used 50-something years ago. I wish every antiqued item came with a history description. :)
