Vintage Candy Baskets

 

I don't know about ya'll,

but I love vintage Halloween.

I found these old school candy baskets at two different thrift stores for $1 each.

I saw the one that says "Treat" on it, at an Antique Store going for $28, and I saw another one going for even more! -Not sure why they are so pricey.

It's funny, back in the day, it was probably .60 cents..

I just like thinking about how much candy these two baskets have seen.

 



Hello Coach

 Item found today is a Plaid Coach Clutch I got for only $3.99

 

I really don't think the people pricing items new what they priced, cause there was an American Eagle bag that was quite used selling for $12.99.. then you have this nice Coach Clutch for only $3.99.

I don't get it.

 I'm not complaining!

I know it's a real Coach, it's made with quality, (even though Coach is now made in China).

I normally don't go for "logo's". I like to keep my name brands hidden, whether they are expensive or not. I like when people come up to me and ask where'd you find that, or who's it by. Most of my clothes are secondhand, which people cannot believe.

  I like this clutch. It's simple. It says Coach on the zipper pulls, and inside. That's enough logo for me.

Did I mention it's perfect for fall and winter!

Fashion find Friday

I went to my local Salvation Army, couldn't find anything, felt like I was in a slump...

Then I walked over to shoes, and found brand new black wedges by Katie and Kelly.

I don't think the color black really looks good on my feet, so I passed by them.

Walked out to my car....

.....sat there.

.....then walked back inside and grabbed them for only $3.99.

I just had that feeling, the feeling where you should get it, even though you have no idea why.

So when I bought them, I brought them home, and fell in love with them!

They look so good paired with black skinny jeans, and a long coat.

 

Online Katie and Kelly wedges are around $50

I only got mine for $3.99.

I think that is a pretty good thrifty find!



A little change

 

First find was found this past Saturday at a yard sale.

They had $5 on it, but it was later in the day, so I asked for $3, and got it!

They had a whole bunch of different posters; Tomatoes, Corn, Beans, Sunflowers, and Mushrooms (which I later saw a guy selling on Sunday at a Flea Market for $15).  

When I brought it home, I just fell in love with it, it's perfect for this time of the year.

..... the only problem I had was I didn't care for the color of the frame.

So I went to a Local Hardware store, and bought Valspar Primer + Paint in the color 'Copper'.

Spray painted it, within an hour it was dry.

 

 

And the after results put a pretty nice smile on my face.

It looks good paired with some pumpkins, and vintage antlers.

Keeping it simple.
