Collecting.

Here are a few treasures I found while thrift shopping this last weekend. There is the BEST chain of second hand stores in our area, I dare not share the names because at my core I am a seriously competitive thrift shopper. I may have a problem... There is always a fantastic supply of well crafted old furniture ready for a new life, artwork, antiques and collectibles.

I love this little wood box in chevron pattern, $1.

A collection of wooden spoons  25 or 50 cents each. 

And milk glass, my favorite. All these vases were from one location. $2 a piece. FYI, I've seen the top left two vases re-purposed as candle holders at a Sacramento Boutique for $38.
