Recent Thrift Finds…

thrift 001 

This little guy just looked at me and that was it!  I really like his high waist pants!  He’s very retro and all homemade.  Got the lunch pail for a toolbox, for my vintage trailer; ‘Driving Ms. Daisy’.  I think I might be spraying it red or the yummy teal in my trailer.

Some rather ugly hooks, replaced with these….

A few coats of primer and paint and an added faucet handle….a whole new look!

In my pursuit of all things Mexican, for my vintage trailer, I found this wool vintage jacket on Etsy.  I have really enjoyed wearing it.  It needs of a lot of TLC as a lot of the threads are loose.  I recently found a bag of wool yarns in many colors for $1, so I will get to work on this in the fall.

         ms d 011 

Isn’t the back just a blast?  Love it and it’s really warm but lightweight.

                v 006 (579x800)

  I added a aged page, from a 1912 music score, to this romantic vintage frame and it’s headed to my Etsy shop. 

                v 005 (800x508) 

And these are are headed over there, too.
