Love this sign that I scored for 2.00. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to get a sharpie and instead of writing times....I wanted to write "all day, baby"....because we need to "enjoy it.....all day"!

The front side of my fantastic sign....and it will be hanging in the studio  from now on.

Vintage Pyrex Beakers. I have been "eyeing" these for a while, and I probably paid too much....but I really loved the simple dot, and the graphics....it was worth the wait.

These paintings caught my eye as soon as I saw them in the booth, and I loved them...but walked on by. In the end, they had me at hello...and my shelves at home are ever so glad to have some new artwork to add to the mix.

...here is a close up of the beautiful color, and if you would like to get some for yourself head on over to Bridgets Facebook page: Bridgetblocks

I also found the prettiest stack of plates. Two blue, and two pink which I promptly made cake stands out of....and wouldn't you know I had customers stopping by the studio this week wanting cake plates! Perfect timing!

I also found the perfect treat for the hubs...

..a street sign bearing his name...I totally flipped over this one.

Last....sadly, there was one.....that got away

I heart this "open" sign so much....but for 50 bucks..... I told myself it was too much..... only to frantically go back a bit later to purchase it! Unfortunately for me it had already been claimed. Boo Hoo!

All in all....Lucketts was a fantastic time....and even though I bought more for myself than for Knack ....it was fun to buy things for my own home.....for once!

I know there are a few chips...but I could not pass up this set of bright cobalt blue nesting bowls. I will use these...to death.....all the while enjoying the beautiful color, and thinking of foods to put in them that will color coordinate. 

Fourth of July and strawberries come to mind.

 I have been organizing my knobs on another level. I had them all sorted by color, but there are so many that I would lose some of them in the piles....so, I have been looking for pieces with little compartments to put each individual knob in. 

I was so excited to find these at a yard sale, and the fact that they are painted and chipped...especially the turquoise one.... just adds to the goodness part!

 If you all heard a really loud "Woot", and wondered who it was....it was totally me! I scored these McCoy and Brush McCoy pieces at my local Salvation Army this past week, and I will be keeping these guys for myself! I have been looking for them for what feels like forever now...

I could not believe my eyes when I picked them up, flipped them over, and saw the markings. Such an awesome feeling...and for a total of 10 dollars....well worth the splurge. You should have seen the guy giving me the evil eye as he realized what he had just missed out on......you snooze you lose sucka!

** For those of you expecting an Introduction post today, I am switching it up a bit this week....all of the letter excitement last week caused me to run a little behind on my newest piece! I will introduce her to you on Thursday, and as a special added treat on Friday I will have a little DIY goodness for you! Woot!

.....do I have 30 of these letters? why yes.....yes I do! 

This is the find that my husband scored for me...{major points baby!}...and we have only picked up one truckload so far....the rest are waiting for a second...third and fourth trip...

They are super heavy and still have the neon lights in them, so I will be spending lots of time taking all of the "guts" out and getting them ready to sell. They measure about three feet tall and are a dirty cream metal......I think a few of them may get painted.

To say that I am stoked.....would be just wrong.....I'm delirious with letter love.

...Then I found these two little quirky treasures....

...one Pyrex bowl for my personal collection, and a ship cross stitch that is preshioso...

..love the soft neutral shades....and the birdies.....it will show up in some photo...and maybe I'll give a treat to whoever spots it....you know...like where's Waldo?

 Have a good one guys!
