TOBEY'S TRASH or TREASURE: Thrift stores and yard sales

I apologize for not posting in over a week, hubby and I decided to take an unplanned vacation. Aren't those the best kind though, you just throw stuff in a bag hop in the car and go. Hubbies bike is having some repairs done to it so we took the car. I love going on the bike, but when we go in the car I can buy stuff lol

And you know I love to buy stuff

I want to build a house right here lol

Maybe we could build here too

Beautiful water lilies

British Columbia is so beautiful and we have been getting some incredible weather these two weeks that hubby has been off. So we decided to go see more of it, and check out some place we had not been too. I was also out of Anne Sloan paint so a 3 hour trip to The Passionate Home was in the plans too.

We had hoped to check out the Antique store in Langley while we were there, but he was closed Sunday and Monday

I was so sad , how dare he close when I want to shop

We were in two towns on Sunday and Monday when you think everything would be open. But unfortunately those are the days that most of the thrift stores are closed. How dare they close when I am on vacation and want to buy stuff lol . I got to peek in the windows and drool though, they might have to clean their windows when they open.

This sign should say, all of our thrift stores are closed on Mondays, don't visit here on Monday

They even have an empty spot to write it

Do you think my hubby called ahead and paid them to close

I did find one cute little shop open in Princeton and I bought this cute lil red wagon

Hubby did not want to be seen with me pulling this down the street

so he went and got the car

you think he would be used to me embarrassing him by now , silly man

This place had some interesting items and an interesting owner

I bought a cute vintage Pepsi cooler and a silver plated lazy Susan

Lets just say they both needed a good cleaning when I got home

We saw a few signs on the highway that tempted us and had us hanging for an ice cream come from this place

I have never seen 24 flavours of soft serve

But just like the thrift store conspiracy, this place was open but the soft serve machine wasn't working

It's a conspiracy, I tell ya

All cleaned up, isn't it cute

My son works for Pepsi so I had to buy this, that and it is baby blue to match my kitchen

I love the patina on tarnished silver and usually do not clean it,

but this one was disgusting so it got a little bit of silver polish

and a good cleaning

Here are a few treasures from my weekend trip, I also bought a new hurricane lamp and orange lantern (which I collect) and the picture I bought for the gorgeous frame
