This morning I went with my grandma and Tia to a few estate sales around town, and found some great stuff! At one sale, a picnic basket full of pretty turquoise and pink plastic dishes (which just happens to be the colors of my kitchen), a doctors bag-ish briefcase that once belonged to a preacher, and some lovely little vintage hand towels. Including one that has my initials! How weird is that? Technically the "C" should be in the middle, but still, having all three initials there is pretty awesome.
At the second sale I found a vintage Christmas bath mat, a beautiful plaid wool blanket, and a brand new pack of 60s Christmas wrapping paper!
After estate sales I went withTwila Jean to The Red Light, where I found a funny little horse tie, girl scout tie, and best of all, a 1950s sequins costume. Not quite sure what to call it. Bodysuit? Leotard? Whatever, it's amazing :)

I'm sooooo envious of the vintage wrapping paper....You're a lucky girl ;)
Wow! You found some amazing things!
The leotard is AMAZING! I can see some kind of bettie page-esque dance happening in it! With cute aerobics moves and all.
I love the shape of the handles on the plastic bits and pieces. Very sweet

The kitchenware is fab, and that sequined bodysuit is amazing - you need to wear it for some 42nd Street style tapdancing!
Sequin swimmingsuit?!?! That was my first thought when I saw that :D But it must be some sort or showgirl outfit. I don't see any other explanation for it. That is awesome! And your other finds are cute too.
Ooh awesome finds! Especially love the wrapping paper :)
Better look out - Dave might just consider hitting a girl in order to obtain that valise! GREAT finds!
the picnic basket is so much fun - you should keep a virtual picnic and invite some friends!

Oh my goodness. That leotard thing. Is awesome. I have been looking for one since I was little and first saw "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". I substituted by wearing bathing suits over my clothes. (my mother insisted on the clothes underneath, of course.)
You are so lucky!! If you ever want to get rid of it (which is unlikely, given its awesomeness) I would like to have dibs on buying that gorgeous thing from you. =]
Everything is so pretty from the vintage wrapping paper to that gorgeous brown bag - I adore the colour. The cups are so painterly too;-)
