Saturday Morning Daydreams

I kind of want one of these for my very own.

Isn't this little nook delightfully cozy?

vintage cameras
This is basically my dream come true.  Yep.

I don't think I'll ever get sick of this photo.

There is so much colorful goodness in this picture.
Just looking at it makes me happy.

vintage boutique
I could spend hours in this place.

I'd rather be thrifting
A thought that goes through my head on a daily basis.



I know, I know - bloggers are always writing about thrift themed topics. But on this Saturday Morning, I am daydreaming of all-things-thrift, and for good reason. This afternoon, I'm meeting my friend Cheri (aka my thrifting adventure partner in crime since high school) to check out a brand new store filled with 6,300 square feet of resale goodness. I'm also just a little bit excited about the fact that tomorrow, Robbie finally gets home from summer tour for a whole month (!!!), and we have all sorts of plans to hunt for goods for our wedding at estate sales and vintage stores. I also spent most of the day yesterday adding beautiful recently-thrifted goodies to the vintage/gently worn section of my online clothing shop. So it makes sense that thrifting would be on my mind and in my daydreams today, and I'm feeling extra-inspired by it. I hope these thrift and vintage themed images bring some inspiration to your weekend as well!

(Pssst...  You can check out past editions of Saturday Morning Daydreams right HERE).



I have one more thing to share, and it's a little off topic but pretty awesome nonetheless.  One of my July sponsors, Esprit, is offering up a seriously amazing discount for you, and it's good for this weekend only.  Just visit their online shop, and enter the code JULYFLASH when you check out.  You'll get 40% OFF (yes, 40% off!) your entire order.  Definitely worth mentioning, right?  Enjoy!

  9. Thrifting is so popular for a reason- you never know what treasures you'll find. I try to thrift (lol, love how "thrift", "thrifting" is an adjective in itself) with my mom every Saturday morning.

  12. Thanks all! Yes, thrifting is awfully fun. Sometimes I wish I could do it full time. Maybe we should all get together and get our very own traveling vintage RV? ;)

    xo,

  13. I loved this collection of photos! The "Thrift Shop" photo is iconic. You're right; who WOULD tire of it? Also, thank you for including the photo of the cameras! I think I am going to be doing a collage post centered around vintage cameras, so this photo and subsequent link definitely helped! I'm so glad I stopped by; I'll be checking back soon. :) Have a good rest of the week!
