A little thrifting.....and a Happy Weekend to you!

 I don't know if you remember my sweet little cup
 I had thrifted in Anchorage, well my little local thrift store
had more of this pattern.....
 I couldn't resist these little yoga frogs
Zen....

 I have decided Tulips make me happy so until spring
I may have to treat myself......
 I also found this vintage Nordic pattern bowl......
I'm on the hunt to find more.

 I loved these sweet little gum packs.....
How long do you think they will be there
until the kids notice?
 I was finally able to see the mountains yesterday....AND
Last night the Northern Lights were out ...just beautiful!
 My friend stopped over for tea on Wednesday and 
brought me these ADORABLE napkins...
I'm a nut for paper napkins, you know!
Thank you ,thank you again Moto!
 I also found this cute little egg....
 and a bunch of these little wooden eggs.....I'll
share more later...they are so cute!
 Floss and now Odd and Old has some for sale
has some beautiful fabric boxes and I found one 
at the thrift store.....so pretty! 
I'm going to use it in the bathroom to keep the
q-tip box in.
I'll leave you with  mountain view....


My kids are on Spring break starting today through this next week!

Enjoy your weekend, I hope its full of sunshine,
  I had 10 below this morning BUT
its suppose to warm up....

  13. Oh, what a pretty fabric box - I don't have any in that kind of mid-century print, but I like it very much! Does yours have any kind of label? A few of mine do - always the big Paris department stores... Thanks for the link, and for letting me know. I love all your finds (as always) and had real fun reading through trying to work out which of your finds had made you think of me! Have a great weekend.
