I can't believe someone would discard the baby shoes and the
1940's apron.....I love that faux cake.....just put a pretty tea cup by it and you're set.....

I need a good little thrifting trip, myself. The weather here has been so cold. Kids have been off of school these last couple of days and I haven't wanted to take them out and chance it in this cold unless it's really necessary... it's becoming necessary... I need a fix. Thanks for sharing yours!

OK, I'm going to go tomorrow while I'm out shopping for fabric. LOL, I'm SO jealous! I hope I find treasures like that.

Mary,

Your vignette looks great. Our thrift store prices on the west coast have skyrocketed. Treasures are always more fun when they are coupled with bargains like that.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love your finds! Gosh, your prices are so much better than the prices they charge at our SA here. I'm coming to OHIO! :0) Good eye, Mary!
