My mom and I love to go to thrift stores, antique stores and Goodwill's. One afternoon while on vacation we decided to do a little shopping and headed into the nearest "city", which is about 45 minutes from my aunt and grandmother's house.
At Goodwill I ended up with 2 shirts, 2 skirts, 5 dresses and a pair of jeans! All brand new, with tags on them. Take a look! (:
Antiquing has always been an interest of my mama's, and I've picked up on it over the years. I remember as a little girl going through antique stores and picking up every piece of jade colored china I could find and looking for the name Fire King on the bottom. Mama's pattern was jade-ite, which is one of the more popular patterns that was found in restaurants. On our trip last week I started 2 collections of Fire King glassware. I first ran across a white and gold pattern that was very inexpensive, so I decided to purchase it. After that I fell in love with a pattern called Peach Lustre - Laurel. I am in love! If any of you thrift store and antique shoppers run across either of these, let me know! (:

While searching for my new china collection, I ran across this beautiful painting. I LOVE paintings, but unfortunately, my pocketbook does not love their prices. This one was a great price! Fifteen bucks!
This is all for now... (: I hope to post lots of pics from our vacation soon. Stay tuned!!
Like I've always said, let my mama know what kind of painting you'd like and she'll do it for you:) Miss you!
