Sundays with April

Happy Sunday! ☀️

I am so ready for September, are you?

The first day of Fall will be September 22. Just a few weeks away.

I love summer, but Fall is my favorite.

Football games, Pumpkin Spice, sweater weather….it is all fast approaching and I am excited for it!

Have you thought about your fall decor?

I have and I am excited to get it going.

And what I bought yesterday is making me more excited!

My Thrift Store Experience

I went thrifting yesterday for the first time in over a decade.

The last time I went to a thrift store to look for something, I was looking for old Nancy Drew books to complete my collection.

I am usually trying to get stuff OUT of my home, not bring more of it back in.

But my friend invited me to her favorite spot yesterday, so I decided to join her.

When we arrived there was a line outside and people were excitedly waiting for the doors to open.

This little place was so well organized and staged like a beautiful boutique! Not like any thrift store I had ever been to before.

She was looking for old frames for a project she is working on and I wasn’t looking for anything in particular. I was just tagging along.

I knew that if I ended up wanting to buy something, it would have to make sense for my home and be special.

I stumbled upon a beautiful pumpkin soup tureen from Mikasa. I thought it was so cute and would look great on my dining room hutch.

It was missing the ladle and was kind of bummed, but I was ok with it.

Then I saw a big basket of kitchen utensils on a shelf in another section. You know, whisks, spoons, spatulas, etc.

I wondered if I would by chance find the missing ladle in there.

After digging for a little bit, there it was! I now had the complete setup!

I was content with my one little find and proceeded to check out. $12 is what I spent and I was excited about it.

This morning I was curious about it so I looked it up.

It is part of the Mikasa Countryside Collection and is listed as vintage, reselling on sites like Ebay and PoshMark, and going for $150!

What a great find! And I can’t wait to decorate with it.

Are you into thrifting? If so, what is your favorite or BEST find?

Hit reply to this post. I would love to hear from you!
