Thrifty Instant Ancestors

Since I didn't get to do any "real" thrifting this past weekend I thought I would share a find from the recent past.

There is an older lady near here that had been a collector and has a garage sale each year that is just to die for!!

I picked up several items from her, put since I was rearranging tonight I thought I would share just one.

You might remember my fabulous chippy dresser  from this post.

Well it has looked like this.024

Here are a few more pictures of my picture

Believe it or not this fabulous vintage photo with the frame was only $3.00.  I picked this up in May during my birthday weekend.  I'm still amazed that I was able to get this for just $3.00 it is 14x16 inches.

Does anyone out there have any idea what era this may be from?  Also are these school uniforms or a children's choir?

  4. Trust me, children's choir robe. I have a photo of me wearing mine. I also have a lot of photos of folks I don't know, that I call instant relatives as well. Fun to decorate with. Have a great day.

  5. I am trying again! I like those egg cups, but I don't think I would be very good eating out of one! Someone somewhere had a good idea of a cool way to use them, and AND NOW I FORGET!!!
