Part One of my thrifted treasures.....

 This last week I had the opportunity to stop at a few more garage sales
and thrift stores....so I will have to share them in 3 parts I think....
Just look at this little darling, He is so sweet!!!

 and we could not leave his friend for a quarter....
 I found stacks of vintage Golden books which I will share next
but I loved this colorful little elephant with his pink tail....
 as you can see I moved the couch from the living room out to the family room
as the old one was...well we said our goodbyes...
 I bought this great stool at a garage sale...the cover is green vinyl but its so torn up
I just tied some fabric over the top till I can look at it....great extra seating with kids!

I think it look so cheery out here, you know me and color
I can't ever have enough!
 We had a Momma moose show up this last week, sorry my picture is so blurry
she was on the move....
 And Miss Mimi is so excited to be able to ride her bike again
she loves to zip around until the bus comes, only 8 more days of school....
We had to take a picture of Cory for the graduation slide show
next year middle school...he is so excited!!
I wish Mom was....


Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

I'm so excited to be able to catch up with all of you...

  19. What an absolutely charming family room!
    I love the cheerful colors and the map hanging on the wall...Vintage maps are always appealing to me.
    And that blue puppy lamp is such a conversational piece and would totally steal the show in any vignette...the vintage rose lampshade is also quite a jewel. I've been to several yard sales this spring as well...I'm not so sure my loot is as charming as yours, but I'm happy for what I've found so far.
