thrifted treasures


nothing excites me more than a day of thrifting.  we have been doing a lot of that lately and have found so many beautiful pieces for our home.

the vintage singer sewing machine (1909 model) is one of my favorites.  we purchased the entire treadle table and are using it as our tv stand and of course have the machine out on display as well...it's one of the most beautiful models i have ever seen.  the night we got it matthew and i were talking about how amazing it is to have a piece with so much history...i would love to see the clothes that were made for families with this treasure.


i came across a few other beauties yesterday...a vintage american flag,  disneyland vinyl - we have been searching for place mats for our dining room table, we thought nothing is more fun than a record, and antique wooden hangers...yes wooden hangers!  about 60 of them for $6.  is it sad that I am excited for this?  i've been wanting to ditch the plastic hangers for quite some time now so i have an excuse :)  XO, lindsay

  5. Amazing finds! I love that flag and the sewing machine. I recently found a 1948 record player/radio that we're using as a tv stand and I love it so.
