Thanks for tuning in to another episode of My Weekend Finds, the continuing saga of one girl's quest for more junk!
It was a glorious day at the flea market, and when I saw this pink phone, it was love at first sight! But where would I put it? I didn't have the answer, so I walked away. When I decided that I just had to have it, I had to walk back across the entire flea market, because it was in the very last aisle. Would it still be there? Well, obviously it was, and I was able to negotiate a lower price too! Pepto Bismol pink, wouldn't you say?
An old flamingo tray, now sitting on the toilet tank. Fancy, huh?
Lovely vintage tablecloths and a dish towel.
I was happy to find one of those vintage pins where you pull the string and Santa's nose lights up. I had one of these when I was little. Did you?
And I just have to say that I met the nicest woman at a thrift store the other day. We got to talking, and I admired the cat trick or treat bucket in her cart. She told me that I could have it! When I told her how nice she was to do that, she said that it was "just stuff". I think it was good karma coming my way, because I know that I've done the same thing in the past when someone liked what I had in my hand. I felt good the rest of the day, grinning like that pumpkin, because a total stranger had been so nice to me. Isn't it sad that these days, that's such a rare occurrence?
So, did you find anything over the weekend that put a smile on your face?
Love your finds! I use to have that exact Santa pin when I was little! Love the pumpkin and cat.....and that pink phone is awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff all around, especially those tablecloths! I enjoyed the debut of your toilet tank top (at least I don't remember seeing it before ... surely I wouldn't forget that.)
ReplyDeleteWow Carol, you had a great weekend! I miss the old phones. I hate the new handsets with buttons all over and volume controls on the sides. I'm always acidently pushing the wrong thing at the wrong time.
ReplyDeleteI did have one of those Santas!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would never even think of giving someone something in my cart at the thrift. I am a bad, bad girl. LOL (I think it was Dept 56 that made that line of buckets? I have an owl and maybe a pumpkin? I love them all and stalk them.)
Between your pink flamingo tray in your bathroom and my pink poodles in mine, we are happy campers! Ha! Ho, ho tee hee...giggle!
ReplyDeleteI love what that women did for you! It really is the small things in life that make life so beautiful.
Yes, I have that Santa pin too, does that surprise you? Tee hee, giggle, snort...oh my, silly we are and will always be!
Thrift on! Did you see that post Carol that I did on that sign that is on my front door...
An old scrooge and his little shopaholic live here!
Hello Carol this the operator...it appears that the pink pepto phone you mistakenly picked up belongs to a Miss Renee in Kansas....You lucky girl you...Look at that color. Unbelievable..and those vintage linens...I am drooling. You could have those things from my trunk anytime. I admire your taste...smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteWow! What a fantastic haul this week!! Does the phone work? Love everything!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did great! Lovin' the phone and especially the Halloween!
ReplyDeleteHello Carol! I've yet to see linens in those colors at a store of any kind! Glad you found them. Well your pink phone would look cute with that pink tray behind it. Now we both have pink phones!
ReplyDeleteI missed the Post office window on Saturday so your package will go out today- okay? ☺
Oh be still my heart, a pink phone!! Love it! All your finds were super but you know I love the vintage Flamingo tray! I also love the tablecloth! How sweet of that lady to give you that cat bucket! I've done that before also and it does feel good. hugs, Linda

Oh my. I love that pink phone! I am so glad that you went back to get it.
ReplyDeleteThat was sweet of the lady to let you have the bucket!! I would of been shocked to have that happen!
I didn't venture out to find any STUFF this weekend! Our flea market is next week and I am going to have to pass on it. It will kill me.
I had that same phone in my bedroom growing up. It was a christmas present from my parents one year. oh how I wish I still had it!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was, I had one of those pins!!! How fun if it still works:@)
ReplyDeleteYou always find the best things. Your linens are gorgeous. I have to say that I'm very impressed with your thrift store snags! Woo hoo on the treat buckets!!
ReplyDeleteThat was very kind of the lady to give you those goodies!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the linens. No shopping for me this weekend!
Cute pink phone..are you using it or is it a decoration?
Warmly,

Hi Carol! You did all right by shopping the American way and helping the economy! ;) Pretty phone looks in great shape, and I just love the flamingo tray - great scores!
ReplyDeleteA MOST productive weekend! I would give-up thrifting for a MONTH to have that phone!
ReplyDeleterosie
Wow! You really found some great stuff! It seems like when it rains it pours. Some days I will only find an item or two, and some days it's a whole trunk full!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE the phone:) I have never seen the Santa pin how cute is that!! I went to theCountry Living fair on fri and sat and found an old pink mini stove and three of the gallon blue ball jars:) Saw lots of tablecloths but none in pink.
