Wow! Thank you all for the overwhelming response to our 100th post giveaway! Tamarah and I are gobsmacked (I'm filching her lingo!) at your enthusiasm, positive energy, and vintage love!
I am looking forward to visiting each and every one of your blogs -- I can't believe there are so many others out there that I've missed! A vintage extravaganza, for sure.
If you haven't done so yet and want a chance to win some fun prizes, the contest ends TOMORROW at 8am EST here and midnight in Australia. I'm pretty sure I'm ineligible, but I'd love to have that gas station number or the mercury glass bead icicles Tamarah is giving away!
Enter my giveaway here and Tamarah's here, but enter both for the most chances to win!
So we did manage to get a little junking in this weekend. On Friday there was an estate sale just blocks away. Mr. VJIMT was able to stop by with me in the morning; a good thing too, because I heard him gasp from the other side of the basement when he found a whole box of these:
You know I've always loved glass doorknobs, but even more so now that we've been making these wine bottle stoppers out of them (and finally listed them in my Etsy shop!). Reuse, restore, recycle! Feels good that these sparkly beauties are getting some much deserved love.
Do you like our drying rack? LOL. It's like a vintage Santa's workshop in here.
Mr. VJIMT found this Dr. Scholl's foot measuring device at an odd indoor flea market on Saturday and used his vintage ingenuity to use it as a picture frame. We'll switch out the picture for a family photo at some point. Sorry for the grainy photo; it's hanging in a dark corner of the room and I am lazy and just using my iphone.
Also found this upstairs at the estate sale. No price on it, but what a score!
GREAT idea for a foot measuring device! Hmmm I never see those, love yours!

More than I love those glass door knobs, I love your blog! And even though my poor Etsy shop is still a work in progress I have your shop as a favorite.

You could just put all of those gorgeous knobs in a bowl and have a gorgeous display. They are lovely.

I would have gasped at that box of doorknobs, too...great find! Love the lazy kitty, too!

Score on the door knobs! I've been using them to make picture holders. Apparently no one else is making them around here and they went like hot cakes at a recent sale. So I need more! The crystal ones are the bestest, too.
