Come check out a bunch of other cool vintage thingies over at the Apron Queen's!
How I LOVE a good deal! In my efforts to decorate the guest room in the hacienda-style home we are building, my goal was to choose low-cost, thrift store finds. I had a GREAT time, even though I had the twins in tow, because my mom or John accompanied me at each shopping adventure.
Some of the things we found:
-The dinette set (purchased at Good Will and partially pictured below) - $70
-Each dish set (purchased in Mexico and pictured below) - $7
-Mexican blue vintage napkins (purchased at a thrift store)- 4 for $.99
-Bright pink cloth to use as a table cloth (purchased at Walmart and pictured below)- $6
and my favorite...
-THIS vintage brass taper holder (purchased at Good Will). Truthfully, I don't know if it is vintage or not, but it sure does look old and I love it! Its height makes a lovely statement on the set table. It even came with the white tapers! The price? $3!
Come and visit us sometime!
