So I mentioned the other day that I went to an antique store and browsed. Alone. I make a point to state that because it rarely happens. I'm usually with my mom and the girl (my bella) and I'm always so busy answering to "Kelli look" or making sure the girl hasn't found some $100 vintage hat and purse ensemble that she MUST have!!!

So the girl had a cheerleading camp with her aunt and I dropped her there and off I went. First stop was to Marshalls where I found the awesome jewelry holder (I'm going back next week to get a necklace holder) and I got an amazing grey pencil skirt for $9.99. Then it was off to the antique mall in Northglenn. I went intending to get my vintage table cloth fix, but the dishes were calling to me. Here is what I got:

I got this beautiful ring box for $9.50. That usually is above my budget, but it was exactly what I was looking for for the night stand (as seen in a previous post) so I splurged!

A pristine set of 4 Butterfly Gold Pyrex coffee cups marked down to $6.00 for all of them.

And this cool green relish tray. I think my mother in law has one exactly like it, but it was only $5.00 and it just spoke to me. I can't wait to use it. Oh, and the Coronet magazines. I wasn't familiar with them, but they were 50 cents and I loved the old ads and pictures and articles. these are from 1957 I think. You can read more about the Coronet magazing here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronet_(magazine)).

I enjoy thrifting more than antique shops just because you can usually get a better deal, but this day I think I did pretty good.

Oh, and today was another really good day. Its amazing how being organized can make you feel empowered. Also, at a lunch meeting today, I only ate protein and lots of green salad and I actually SKIPPED THE AMAZING CARROT CAKE that was provided. Go Kelli!
