Thrill of the hunt

Today I took the boys as well as my daughter to a little used book store that opened in our downtown area which is a few blocks away. I grew up going to used book stores with my mom and it is one of my favorite memories. I LOVE books!!!!!! The only issue I have is finding places to put my books,lol!!!! My shelves are full.I ended up buying some vintage children's books.After the book store we went to a thrift store that we hardly ever go to.We are still looking for baby shower vintage props.
I found a cute little baby figurine and a vintage baby doll.I'm looking for something with a stork and a vintage baby scale. I did find a vintage scale on etsy but there is something exciting about the thrill of the hunt going from store to store!!!!! You never know what treasure awaits.

Vintage baby

I have been planning a baby shower for our daughter Paloma. The theme is "vintage baby". I know Vintage decorating are all the rage when I look thru the internet but I can say that it has been our style for our entire lives.My kids love going to the flea market and we love to thrift!!!!! I do miss the thrift stores in Chicago,also the yard sales!!!!! So it is really fun hunting around for vintage baby items.I have a tiny collection going on in my dressing room. My latest find is a wooden cradle!!!!! I put money down on it at a children's second hand store and I am going to pick it up on Tuesday( so excited )!!!! It can be an heirloom piece for Paloma to pass on to her kids.For the shower we are going to display it and put the small gifts inside.I am also looking for a vintage baby scale .I have seen them on ebay so I might have to buy it from there. Here are a few photos of the little items we will use to display for the shower.
