Vintage Junkie...That's ME!!!

I don't know about you, but I am in my happy place when I am hunting for junk, looking at junk or buying junk! I think I've turned into a vintage junkie! I need a fix more and more...and I LOVE it!!! My booth is not gonna make me rich, but it sure has been nice that it pays for my addiction treasure seeking (and then some!).

My biggest problem is I like wayyyyy too many things! Do you have that problem too? Or is it just me? Am I the crazy cat lady but with vintage junk? Maybe-but I wouldn't have it any other way!! I was talking with a  junkin buddy the other day, and we were talking about  me getting my Etsy shop up and running (I've been procrastinating wayyyy to long on this!), and she said, "you'll find yourself saving all of your good stuff for Etsy and won't be taking it in to your booth." Shoot! I've been doing it all wrong already, and I haven't even started the Etsy shop yet!!! I've been saving all the good stuff for ME!!!

Here are a few of the things I bought for the booth, but can't seem to part with...

 Doesn't this chamber pot look super cute with all of the vintage dish towels rolled up in it?

 This awesome cabinet was in the basement of a brand new house, where the owners were having a moving/estate sale-it was only one of a few vintage things at this house and I carried it up from the basement myself! I must have bonded with it as I struggled up the stairs, and then finally out to my car, because I can't let it go now!!

 This little guy is so ugly, he's cute! My first Holt Howard Pixieware piece and it was a steal for only $3!

 I actually had this in the booth for a couple of months, and the whole time I kept hoping no one would buy it so I could keep it! Duh! Finally, I pulled it out and it's NOT going back!

 These were in the booth too, and they only lasted a week, before I snatched them out and brought them home!

 These never made it to the booth, even though at the time I bought them, my intention was to sell them right away.

Oh, there's more...but I'm too embarrassed busy to get the rest of the pictures uploaded! :)

How about you? What have you found that you can't get rid of? I'd love to hear about it!!!

Just...Say...N-O!...No...More...Golden Butterfly...

Last weekend when my friend Auntie and I went to Midland, we were talking in the car about the golden Butterfly pattern in Pyrex and how no one is buying it right now, and we both agreed that we were d-o-n-e with it. That was before I walked up to a sale and there sat a giant stack of them for a quarter each! Why couldn't I just say N-O? I already have a whole shelf in my booth loaded with it and now I bought another half shelf's worth. I guess if I get desperate for shelf space, I can always price it at $1 each and quadruple my money!

I only went out for about an hour this morning-too much to do to get the house ready for my parents coming in to town tonight. I loaded my car up in that short amount of time. Here is what I picked up...

 This one is the same as the biggest on above.

 The lady said she'd had this for over 40 years. 

 These three aprons are now a "what was I thinking?" 

 My very first chamber pot!! Been looking for a while-ever since I learned that chamber pots have one handle and soup tureens have two handles...so if you're ever at someone's house and they serve soup in a big one handled pot...I'd recommend you stick with the rolls!

 Four windows bracketed together-it's pretty big-even though it doesn't look it in the picture.

 Two folding teak bed trays.

 I see flowers popping out of this in the near future-great fifty cent price!

 When I first saw this, I thought it was a candle-it's actually a squeaky toy!

Cool retro plant stand.

Busy day tomorrow with the graduation ceremony! Hope you have a great weekend!!!
