I've been having fun in thrift stores, as usual, and found some great stuff. My latest acquisition is this fabulous kelly green vintage chair.
I picked it up and put it back about 5 times while in the store, mostly due to the price tag. It was $20 which is a crazy price in a thrift store. I never pay that much for second hand junk, ever! BUT I was in completely in love with it, and knew I'd regret not buying it. I am SO glad I bought it! I love the clean simple lines, and look how perfectly it matches my re-done green cupboard!
There were actually three chairs, this green one, a pink one and a purple one. Think I can convince the hubster to let me get the other two?!!
I've also kept up my milk glass collecting, getting pieces for a dollar or two here and there.
I get so much satisfaction from decorating with second hand items. Of course, there's the monetary savings, but also the uniqueness factor. Who else has a matching green cupboard and chair? I know they're not everyone's cup of tea, but they make my heart sing!

I see a pink chair on the other side of this chest!
I want that green chair!!! I'd have to go back and buy the others. Sooo gorgeous.
I think you have to go get the pink one. Think what kind of chair you could get for $20 at a box store and how long it will last... right? I find more and more that my thrift store finds way way outlive my new "expensive" (in my world anyway) stuff. I am keeping my eyes open for a used couch with really good bones so I can get rid of our 3 yr old (Ashley! grrr...) sagging threadbare mess.
But I don't know if you should listen to me. I'm such an enabler. :0)
LOVE the green chair!! Fabbo!
I think you are a real treasure hunter!!! Love the milk glass goodies, and your matching chair and cupboard!!!
