Always eager to scout out thrifting opportunities, we spotted several second-hand stores near the a-frame cottage. Luckily, the need to run a few errands allowed for a bit of shopping on Saturday.
Fabulous book jackets = cottage reading for Emma (and me).
A tin picnic basket with orange/green plaid. It looks red in this picture, but it's actually very orange. I'm thinking future Halloween displays!
Several bags of spun heads (I'm feeling rather Magpie Ethel) were also rescued.
Colorful chairs (not second-hand) also came back to the cottage.
A new work-week continues. I can't wait to be back at the lake. This was the fog on the lake early Monday morning. When Chris doesn't have a power tool in his hand, the fishing pole is attached.

Love the cute picnic baskets and spun heads!! Beautiful there!! xo Heather
Not a bad thrift to stumble upon if they have spun heads there! Fishing pole/power tool....that fellow does it right!
Soooo lovin' the hair on the spun heads! Looks like a fun shopping trip:@)
Love the red picnic basket . . . would be gorgeous with an assortment of fresh greens for holiday time too . . .
Really cool photo of fishing in fog Chris . . . 2014 . . .
When I just skimmed through the photos and hadn't read the story yet (I do that with thrifting posts because I'm so excited to see what people find), I wondered why Chris was standing on the edge of an airplane wing. OK, so maybe it's also because it's early in the morning. It does look rather magical though doesn't it!
fun finds! I love the foggy picture. You must be in heaven there!
have a great week
xoxo

What fun finds! And the photos make me want to just gaze on them and sigh. Cute cute!

I love the picnic basket! What a fun addition to Halloween decorations and after Halloween as storage. Love the chairs! I love reading the vintage books. Every time I see one around $1 or 2, I grab it. They are so cute to decorate with too! Have a wonderful day, Holly
