We hit an estate sale this morning. The weather was dreary and the wait was long, but I did manage to score some great vintage finds: I think I'm definitely going to paint this little fan pink. I could not resist these opera glasses with case. I just love them! Same for the vintage lace gloves. Love! I also got this cute little bench for $10. Funny thing is, I have a similar one I'm...

After a bit of a blogging respite, I'm feeling much better now. I swear the germs in our house are going round robin. In between blowing my nose and coughing up a lung, I remembered a champagne bucket and stand I got over the summer at a garage sale. I wanted to paint it white but my husband talked me out of it.
