thrifting finds

i am a picker!  i love garage sales, rummage sales, bizarres, etc.  there's a fine line between "clutter" and "treasures" and sometimes it's hard to resist temptation to buy everything you find!  here are some of my recent pickins'...

i heart miniature chairs.  i love the painted detail on the chair on the left (thrifted for $2).  the little green chair with the rounded back is also adorable (thrifted for $1.50). these chairs are about 10" tall.   

this past weekend, i went to a rummage sale at a local elementary school.  i arrived kinda late so i was hoping that there were still some goodies left for me :)  low and behold, i found this gold, vintage mesh purse by Whiting and Davis Co.  this company is known for their metal mesh material and their really old bags (1920s, 30s) are worth quite a bit. 
the bag was pristine!  i'm guessing that it probably sat in someone's closet and was never used judging by its condition.  and the best part?  it only cost me 50 cents!  

i'm kinda digging the chain straps.  i think i might start hunting for a vintage Chanel bag ;)
