1 for me, 1 for you

Today the hubs and I went to the dentist and both got bad news...that's what we get for not going for 5 years. I need two crowns and the hubs needs crowns and 2 root canals...ugh...so look for a sale soon. To cheer myself up I did some 2nd hand shopping. I found 1 thing I've been looking for and something for the shop too.
A large jewelry box that I've been looking for, for a reasonable price and a beautiful cherry blossom vase for the shop. So gorgeous!

YAY very excited for my new jewelry box...and that vase...I almost kept it.

super super super cute "mermaid money" fish coin purse
"cream-cheese frosting" white lace bubble dress with bandage bottom mini dress

so so so so soooo pretty "parakeet my sweet" apron, would make lovely decor in a vintage kitchen, i use vintage aprons as window dressing in my kitchen.

"love you beary much" little boy's embroidered cardigan
ok, this is terrible...but does that patch not look like a bear with breasts? i know its just a vest or shirt or something...but maybe they should've made it a different color.
"Buckaroo" suede leather vest with faux shearling lining

"Springtime picnic" little girl's smocked gingham dress

70s winnie the pooh nautical spring/summer jacket
aaaaaand as always more baby adorableness for my ever-growing collection, not all vintage like that blue cherry print romper from gap but that vintage sailor dress has me head over heels! :)
