Thrifting in shades of Orange.......

 I fell in love with this fabulous vintage towel
its the perfect addition to my Clementine orange bathroom....
 I don't think I have ever shown you our oldest sons
bedroom.....I found a few vintage treasures for his room.
 This cool vintage orange tin.....
 This vintage tin.....
His little bathroom.....

I found a few more treasures that I'll share soon.
Hope your having a great Monday.

I felt so bad, the Gas man came today and got stuck in the yard
poor guy I felt so guilty watching him dig and trying to put chains on to get out....
took him an hour or two.....

  8. Love those tins especially the Arctic Survival one - wonder what was in there. I have to admit to orange being one of my least favourite colours. I used to have my bedroom in the colours of your towel as a teenager back in the 60s and you never like things second time around do you? Looking forward to seeing more treasures. Love the bathroom mirror and soapdish too.

  10. my mum went to California to visit her sister in the early 1970s and came home with a set of towels exactly the same as yours, together with a yellow happy-face clock and matching weight scales, soap dish and toothbrush mug and procedded to decorate our rather staid family bathroom bright citrus yellow (I don't think my dad was amused!)

    It looked so happy and cheerful that I've done my bathrooms yellow ever since- and I have the happy-face clock still tick tocking away, although everything else is long gone!

    Hoping that you are well and enjoying some Spring weather?
    Thankyou for all the lovely comments you leave- apologies for not getting back to you sooner

  22. I don't even know where to begin. First I noticed you wrote, son's bedroom and you can see the floor. You had me at a clean son's bedroom!! I love the orange bathroom and that towel is perfect. We had those growing up in blue. ha. Second, your son's clean bedroom is amazing, the art on the wall so cool and the tins are perfect.
