Recent Vintage Finds

I want to thank those of you who commented on my last post. It was fun to see your spaces & to "meet" new bloggers. I had fun checking out your blogs. Thank you so much for visiting my blog!

I recently made great vintage finds, two weekends in a row. Love that. My mom & I headed out to Apple Hill Antiques on my visit home a few weeks ago. I found two adorable white pitchers/creamers and a metal cookie cutter with a wooden red handle for my collection. Then, the very next week, there was an amazing garage sale down the block from us. I only had 5 minutes to stop by (arrrgggh!), but I snatched up that gorgeous blue glass Ball canning jar for $2!!! It's pretty old & just perfect for holding snacks. I also found at the same sale the wire basket. Its currently holding dishtowels, but I'm open to other ideas....

I'm sure to have more vintage pretties to share with you over the next few months as the Arlington flea market starts again this Saturday! My sister & brother in law will be in town, so I'm dragging my sister there (rather willingly, I think) while the guys & Hope hang out at a coffee shop.

Speaking of my sister, I have BIG NEWS that I've been dying to share for months & I've been given the go-ahead: I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT!!! Yes, somewhere around August 1st, my sister will be having a baby boy. Glenn & I are over-the-moon happy to be an aunt & uncle & plan to spoil.him.rotten just as Terri & Ezra have done for Hope. I'm currently in the midst of planning the first of two baby showers that I will be throwing for Terri, along with my mom.
