Fab Finds: all .99¢

I love going to thrift stores and finding something special and unique. The majority of my house decor are fabulous finds from thrift stores and flea markets, and I love this. I enjoy being surrounded by old things that have a history and a story that goes beyond me and right now.

Most recently I discovered some great jewelry. I found this sweet little cameo hat pin that I use as a pin on a jacket or shirt. I heart cameos! I also found these uber cute and super unique umbrella earrings. They are hand made from a very thick paper. Then I found this vintage gold pin with tiny pearls along the edges and some type of resin in the middle. The day I bought it I wore it on my shirt and I went to the jewelers to drop off my wedding band to be cleaned and the women working said "I love your pin, what is that jade?" and I said "I don't know what it is I bought it at a thrift store." And she just looked at me haha. She doesn't know what she is missin!

I don't know about you, but when I was planning my wedding
a few months ago I loved finding new and unique ideas to
add a little something special to my wedding day, especially
if they were cheap!
Even if that thing you find is a little unconventional; who
cares as long as it screams "you!"
Here are a few great finds from Etsy.com to add that
'something blue' to your wedding day.

It's okay to be a little funky!
This handmade and very mod ring adds a great
punch of color.

Who doesn't love a great cameo!
Add a little flare to your up-do with these great
bobby pins.

Classic and chic.
These sweet little earrings are fitting for any
hopeless romantic.

Sniff, sniff.
This 1920's hand embroidered handkerchief will be
handy when the sniffles start...and it's too cute.

An oldy, but a goodie.
Try adding this vintage broach to your bouquet for
added whimsy.



Pom poms.
These party poms are perfect for an added cheerfulness
to any event. They come in so many great colors too.



Sew what?
This assortment of vintage buttons would look great in the
bottom of vases filled with candles or flowers. They
would add a lot of fun to any centerpiece.



If these walls could talk...
Vintage wallpaper can be framed, and used for your
table numbers or glued to the back of cards for your
guests to write a note...the possibilities are endless!



Dear, Mr. and Mrs....
This vintage blue typewriter is a great alternative to a
guest book. It will be fun because most people have
forgotten what it's like to type on one.



Flower fun.
Instead of messy confetti or expensive rose petals, these
are a modern and classy way to decorate your tables.
And they come in any color.



Table for two, please.
Instead of the traditional linens spice things up with
printed ones. No one will expect it.
