I thought you'd like to see a few pictures taken at my favorite thrifty/antique mall. This is where I sneak off to at least once a week. It's less than 15 minutes from my house...which makes it slightly dangerous.
Would you like to see a few items that came home with me last week? Emma and I have been keeping an eye on this hutch/shelving unit for a few weeks.
It's narrow enough to fit in our treehouse and not take up a lot of floor space. It will be used for holding card games, reading materials and a few baskets filled with crafting supplies.
I think the pink lamp that I repurposed last week, will also go on the top shelf of the hutch. One of the reasons I love this antique/thrift store so much is that the prices are amazing. I picked up this bag of linens and it was marked 50% off. I'm going to show you some before/after pictures of my treasurers.
For $2, I got ALL these items...
This Sunday, my mom, sister and I are heading to Allegan for their once-a-month antique market. We always manage to find lots of goodies. I promise to bring my cell camera along on our adventures.Happy Rednesday over at It's A Very Cherry World!!

Serious damage in that store...can you imagine what we would do in there together. It would be a tornado of its own. Lovely shop and sweet finds. The fabric is wonderful...smiles...Renee
Looks like a great store. Glad you had a great birthday.
What a fabulous store. I never want to live that near one. I would spend way too much time there. I like all your finds.
What great treasures! I have an itch to hit the vintage/antique stores...maybe this weekend in TC!

Love, love, love your new shelf unit. It will be perfect addition to the treehouse!
What fun treasures! I love the way you framed and hung the bits of embroidery in the hoops. Happy birthday to you, Kim!
Happy Belated Birthday, Kim! I hope you had a great day! That antique mall does look dangerous:) The thrift stores out here are all alot more expensive than back at home, so thrifting is a bit more challenging! Have a great weekend!
You DO find the best things! Love that hutch shelf thingy and all the linens -- wow!

What a great little shop. That shelf is a great find, it looks like it's all set to go... and what great linens - I have a very similar tablecloth that I found, love what you did with it.
Sunday sounds like a fun girls day!
And, did I miss your birthday?
Happy Belated Birthday my friend.

That's quite a deal on those linens. The nearest antique mall is just over an hour away which is probably a good thing for our pocketbooks. At least Im sure Justin feels that way hahahaha. Im so glad you had an amazing birthday!!

You did get some great stuff! :)

Super treasures! I seem to vividly recall these same fabrics in my home growing up! "Antiques" - Oh my!!
Wow, Kim! What a great bag of goodies. I love that red and blue cloth and curtains. Good luck at the antique fair. :) Nancy
Holy Cow, What a buy! Our Antique Mall (over 200 dealers) is the same distance as yours..takes 3 hours to go thru and thats not stopping in every booth!! It's soooo close we eat lunch, hit a few aisles..come back another day, repeat...it's embarassing when everybody knows ya and hollars across aisles, but then again..you're sometimes surprised they take you to something they know you'll wanta see..that's a good thing.
