Treasure Hunt




This weekend a couple of my friends and I went estate sale shopping. I know, I know big surprise. I woke up at 7am to go which is definitely not something I would usually do. The beauty is that we found some amazing things. I always go into every home with no expectations because you never know what you will end up finding.

The first sale we went to my sister and I found this amazing stool. Well not amazing right now but definitely has the potential to be amazing!

I am going to spray paint the base silver and recover it in an amazing purple hounds tooth fabric. (That is one of my projects for the end of the week!)

We went all over the metro area, past Oregon City, Beaverton, NW, NE and SE. Thankfully my friend Janice had a list of all the places that were having sales.

I found an amazing box of vintage thread, for a ridiculously cheap amount that I just could not pass up. Especially since thread is now $2-6 a piece. I love all the colors especially. So excited because I have so many different colors to work with now!















I also found some amazing vintage jewelry that I really wanted to keep but I have enough already. Here are the pics, you can also find them at my Whimsy blue shop at etsy!
