thrift store shuffle

I had a delightful Tuesday thrift store shuffle with my Mama when I was home in Georgia last week. We got the keys to our family friend's antique shop even though she wasn't open and had our own little private shopping spree. We left with an arm full of goodies, a hand written IOU and a renewed love for small town America. Then we hit up the cutest antique shop, Feather's & Twigs, in a town about 30 miles away. I have a couple really fun pieces being delivered this weekend that I can't wait to arrive, but this little basket o' beauties sure is something to smile about.

The retro overnight bag I'm totally going to rock as my new briefcase and laptop bag.
The coral vintage Threrm-a-Jug is in tip-top shape, but like leave it to Lindsay to leave the image in my head of it overflowing with blackeyed susans or wildflowers...done & done.
The little green ceramic bowl is interesting, cute, functional and was 50 cents.
The turquoise mugs: simply delightful.

My mom laughed when I picked up the yellow wire basket and I wasn't really sure what I was going to use it for. But I knew I kinda loved it, and I knew it couldn't cost much. Turns out that so far, it's been my most functional and favorite piece yet.

I love my summer veggies and they are a staple in my house. So I loaded them up in the basket which keeps them in an airy place, but contained and temperate.


The display is functional & colorful.



It keeps the veggies at my fingertips.
{i.e. easier to opt for a veggie plate rather than a frozen pizza}



And it's the perfect 50 cent addition to my kitchen.
