I’m dreaming of a Vintage Wedding

Another possible title for this post?  How many times can Gina use the word lovely?

I managed to drag Thom along on a wedding-thrifting weekend.  Surprisingly {to me, at least} he wasn’t nearly as excited as I was.  To his credit, he grew up in the flea market business and he’s seen-it-all and done-it-all but I am still a little excitable since I’m new to it.

I could easily fill a couple of trucks with some awesome finds but alas, groceries are essential for survival and another set of drinking glasses is not.

I did, however, have my camera in hand as I made my way through my new favorite antique mall-Arkansas Peddlers Antique Mall.  Here is what I drooled over {hmmmm, I wonder if there’s a discount for drool-stained vintage wares? nice strategy, eh?}.

 I’m not really in the market for a bow tie but how adorable is a metal tray full of bow-tie cuteness?

I’d  L O V E  to have this sofa for wedding portraits.  At $450 I thought it was totally reasonable.  Hauling it to Michigan?  Not so much.

This is my favorite booth.  It’s full of girly pink vintage goodness including jewelry {I’ve bought a few brooches and earrings for the bouquet} and some lovely sequined clutches. Also-it has a lovely set of vintage monogrammed Samsonite luggage that would make for lovely honeymoon packing.

My kitchen is currently overflowing with drinking glasses and coffee mugs.  If it were not: these lovely orange juice glasses and red doily {!!}  Fire King mugs would have come home with me.

 You know what makes me happy?  Yep.  A metal bin full of rolling pins and red-handled kitchen utensils.

I’ve seriously been dreaming about this teal colored polka dotted Pyrex.  Is it not the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen?  I dare you to say no.  I just can’t justify $21, though so I’ll settle for visiting it every chance I get.  This booth is overflowing with cute vintage aprons and sewing notions.  I could pack it all up and bring it home, too.

I could go on and on for days with the fun finds at Arkansas Peddlers Antique Mall.  I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of my faves in the months to come.
