My BFF and I hit the stores on Saturday
looking for furniture and odds and ends for her MIL.
And when I say stores
I'm not talking about the mall
or those big box stores,
I'm talking about hitting up our favorite
consignment stores and then haunting
a few Estate Sales on the side.
Look at this great rooster pillow
that I found at my very favorite consignment store!
I just couldn't pass it up.
I love the vibrant red velvet backing.
It's a perfect color for the holidays!
And look at the adorable bows on each side.
You would never see this at a mass market store.
Well, maybe you would
but you would be paying a lot more than what I paid!
I also bought this Waverly pillow for about $20.00.
I actually have both of these fabrics
but I haven't had a minute to sew any pillows.
I guess it was a little bit of
instant gratification!
We didn't find the furniture we were looking for
but that is part of the fun!
We enjoy the process of the hunt
as much as we enjoy the kill of a good bargain!
I also like that fact that I am buying
vintage goods instead of
mass produced items.
Maybe I am shrinking my
carbon footprint just
a little bit...

Here's another good tip...
Like your favorite consignment stores
and your favorite Estate Sale vendors
on Facebook to get the scoop a lot earlier
than the general public!
My consignment store posts pictures
of new furniture and fun items
as they get them in...
Does your area have Estate Sales
and Quality Consignment Stores?
Until Next Time,
Beaux R'eves,
BTW, look who's getting big! This is his favorite toy. He is such a sweetie! Our first vet appointment is tomorrow...
