Hooray for Happy Hoarders!

We went thrifting into the hills above Hollywood today. This is much further out of our usual travels but the photos from this one sale just had so many lovely treasures that peaked my interest.

My favorite find were these vintage globes. Oh how I love a cluster of globes! The amazing thing was that 60 people went in to the sale ahead of us and no one picked these up. There was just so much in this house that I don't think anyone saw them {lucky me}. They were the first things that I picked up. One is actually a light which is my favorite kind.

My other favorite find were these two doll suitcases. One was filled with doll dresses and old hangers. I can make a mini stack of suitcases now.

Here are a few of the dresses I found in the suitcase. I love the hand-painted wooden cat hanger although the cat looks a little scary. There is also one dress embroidered with a rabbit knitting on the front.

There were a lot of teal Ball jars but I selected only one. I also found two old teal ink jars and several old bottles that were unique.

I also like vintage kitchen canisters so I picked up these. Love the red strawberries.

The last three items were just fun finds. The pink Penny Bank is old and chippy. I think it is an original. I found a folding rulers that is only 24" long and folds in half twice. Hard to explain but it doesn't fold in the typical zigzag manner. The last item in this photo is a shoe tree but the size of a child's foot.

The house was packed with so many things but you could tell that they had lots of hobbies and loved to decorate for the holidays. It was well worth the drive and a nice way to explore a different area of the city.

Bathroom remodel update:
The construction is completed with just a few minor weekend touch ups. It is now a matter of me getting my creative projects done to finish off the room. This is the fun part now.
