Just this past week I went on a trip with my dad to Jonesborough, Tennessee.  There, I was happily surprised to find so many vintage shops around the charming town!  A post will come later covering the trip (with pictures of the beautiful town included!), so be on the look-out for that.  This post; however, is specifically geared toward some of the items I thrifted while I was there.  I found so many unique things in the antique shops I visited!  And even though I wanted to buy all of it... I had to really stop and ask myself which items I would actually use and enjoy.  Firstly, I thrifted this beautiful, hand-made dress at a Flea Market in Crossville, Tennessee on our way back home.  I paid only a dollar for it, there!  I even have some uniquely-styled buttons in mind that I could use to replace the plain white ones already sewn on the dress!



The other two items featured in the first picture that I thrifted were this beautiful lace apron and these exquisite vintage postcards.  The apron is absolutely lovely!  I actualy thrifted it as a gift for a friend's birthday.  She absolutely loves baking cakes and such, so I thought this would be just her cup of tea!  The vintage postcards are just so unique and I fell in love with them both at first site.  Both date back to 1907 and I couldn't resist getting them.  But, in all honestly, I do plan on using them.  I have the perfect D.I.Y. project for them and I can't wait to share it with you all very soon!


Have a nice week everyone!
