Melmac-like dishes with the most fantastic floral design. I snagged all six.
A set of four dinner plates, saucers, and bowls in this lovely vintage pattern.
I also picked up a couple of pant suit hangers for art prints, two vintage sheets, and a soft linen table cloth in a floral print.
This little sweater was cut off at the sleeves but will look adorable over a long-sleeved onesie and paired with skinny jeans and mocs!
The vintage shown above and myself would like to thank you for celebrating our 1,000th post together. We couldn't have done it without you. ;)

Rachel

congrats! happy 1000th i guess i am more of a lurker than a commenter but your blog is always one of my daily reads.
Congrats!! I've been following you for a while. Love your blog! I've been using Bloglines (which is going away!), but I try to click over to give you readership numbers a boost. I'm really not sure how that all works out, but I don't want to cheat you. Hope you keep posting for a long time.
Omg- those melmac plates!!!! *jealous*.. the other vintage blue and white ones I have seen at my thrift store many times and have been an idiot and passed them up. Of course, I always regret it later. I'm so envious of your finds!
Congrats on your 1000th post! Hooray! :)
And I'm LOVING the plates.... I pick up the funky melamine saucers/dessert plates whenever I spy them. (10 cents each, who can pass them up?) My kids love using them for lunches, and they each have their favorite plate.
Congratulations!!! I love love love the coat!!!
happy 1,000!!! I so love this place, and your finds today are wonderful!
Congrats, on 1000 posts and on finding such great vintage treats :) I love reading your blog.

Congrats on the posting milestone!!
And really, is there anything like a good vintage treasure hunting day? Besides your wedding day and children's births of course ;)
I had to comment to officially not be a lurker anymore! :) I have been reading your blog pretty religiously now for about a year ever since I found Elsie's blog! I love it and am always inspired! Thank you!
congrats on #1,000!!!
love the dinner dishes. i've never seen a pattern like that. love one of a kind stuff.
that coat is to die for!!!
congratulations from spain!
i've learnt tons about vintage shopping and get a lot of inspiration from your blog - which is going to be really useful now that i'm moving to san francisco and need to find & decorate a home :)
+ i have a girl one month younger than yours and you were a great referent during my pregnancy.
thanks & congrats again!
Oh my goodness! What a surprise to see on my reader list... My family has the same exact plate set (the blue one). Or at least they did, but I know for sure my parents still have at least 2 of the saucers. Those were always my favorite saucers to use!
Amazing finds! You are seriously a pro at finding the greatest vintage items. Love it! And congratulations on 1,000 blog posts! I am SO happy that I found your blog. It's wonderful. :) Here is to thousands more!

Yay! Congratulations, what an amazing accomplishment. I have enjoyed you blog for some time now, and you have such a knack for vintage treasures!
congrats on 1,000 posts!!! and thanks for showing that crafty girls can grow up and become crafty mommas.
My grandparents have something very similar to the orange floral print on the plates. I love them! Congrats on hitting 1000th post! That's awesome!!
Congrats on your 1000 post! I've always wanted to go back through your archives, I didn't realize there would be SO many posts to read, LOL.
I did a lot of thrifting this week too. Our little downtown is awesome I've discovered.
My grandma had that same pattern of dishes as the blue flowered you found. My mom and I saw it in several stores here in town this week.
Congrats on your 1000th post! I love your blog & stop by almost daily. Thank you for all the inspiration & peeks into your daily life.
wow. one thousand! congratulations.
I have always really loved your blog, the voice you have, the beautiful and honest things you share. sometimes I feel like the word "inspiring" is overused, but there is something about your blog that makes me excited about life and making things. so thank you!
OHHH! I have 3 of the dessert plates in the blue pattern! I picked them up at a church thrift shop and LOVE them! Good choice! : ) Enjoy checkin in on your blog to see what crafty thing you are doing... : )
Thanks for the idea about using the slack hangers to hang up prints! I've had a few vintage school prints that I just couldn't figure out what to do with. They look perfect when hung with these hangers:)

I have seen those little plates with the blue trim/design at 3 different garage sales this summer!!! They're following me. Congrats on all your posting. :)
Congrats on the 1000th post! And i totally have dishes in the vintage blue pattern, too. I love the gold flower plates.
