...and I'm a teeny, tiny dress addict.
Yup. I see them and I just can't help myself! Yesterday there was a flea market in downtown Mesa that I wanted to check out, so I hauled my behind out of bed early and headed over there. Bubba stayed home to hang out with his father. Check out this cute little vintage camper that someone had:
I wish I could have seen inside! That short wall right inside the door was wallpapered in vintage Valentine cards, and everything was done in pink and white.
While I was there, I popped in to say hi to my friend Dorie. They were doing a historic home tour and her house was one of the ones on it. The flea market was also conveniently on the little greenbelt in front of her house.
I know we're not supposed to take these types of photos at arm's length, but hey! Sometime's a girl has to do what a girl's gotta do.
After I left the flea market I was supposed to go see one of my friends from playgroup. She invited me over to go through the clothes her girls had outgrown, but I wasn't scheduled to be there for another few hours. What to do, what to do?
Check out Goodwill because it was 50% off day, duh! I didn't buy a whole lot. I found a Ralph Lauren dress shirt that was three dollars and a royal blue Ralph Lauren Polo shirt that was a dollar for Bubba. I also scored another vintage Vera Neumann scarf for a dollar as well. There were two new little dresses added to my collection:
This one is cute, but mostly I got it because Bubba likes ladybugs.
Another Little Bitty dress. I love the smocking and the eyelet lace on the arm holes.
My big purchase was this:
Oh man. This thing is HUGE, and kind of heavy. I placed a quarter against the glass and it's nice and thick, with beveled edges. The frame is completely intact. There are no nicks or cracks in it. It was marked $39.99, but since it was 50% off day I got to bring it home for a mere $20. I love it! I'll probably leave the frame gold for now, but won't totally discount the idea of painting it in the future.
After my thrifting adventure I went over to my friend's house to look at more baby clothes and hang out and chat a bit. Here's what I brought home from her house:
Another Little Bitty dress.
I love the patchwork on this one. So sweet!
This one is newborn sized. I can't get over how tiny it is. I love the peter pan collar and the teeny bows on the sleeves.
Another Little Bitty dress. I love the scalloped trim with the eyelet lace. Such a nice detail.
This one is more of a cotton like the fabric of polo shirts. It has a matching diaper cover too.
I also got a few more diaper covers, including that white one with the lace ruffles across the bum. I think that is my favorite out of all the ones I've gotten so far! I also got some hats, some mittens, a few elastic headbands, and a pair of ruffly socks. There were also some teeny newborn onesies (seriously, so so freaking tiny) and some newborn footie jammies. Oh! And teeny diapers too.
Love.
Glad you found some stuff you like. Give us a couple more months & the 3-6/6 mo stuff will be up for grabs. Sorry I had to run out so fast... Totally lost track of time.
