Here are some pics of what our booth looks like right now to get ready for the fall open house on Saturday. Most booth are having sales and we have 15% off everything in our booth, The Porch.
I love our farm vignette with the aprons hanging overhead.
Yes, this sweet lil' vanity is still here...it's only $131.75 through the weekend!
This is an old mill that's on a pretty little creek. I can't remember where it is located because I lost my paper that I wrote it down on...
Fabulous homes in Kilmarnock & Reedville...
This concludes our tour of the Northern Neck. I hope you enjoyed it and can make a trip there yourself one day!
So here we go with what was bought when we were thrifting around the Northern Neck a week ago today...wow that was a fast week! The sweet lamb square pillow cover was .75, the basket purse was $2, the framed kitchen prayer .50, 3 glass votive holders (to be used in a chandelier that I'm re-purposing) were $3, tray was $1, vintage green glass beaded necklace was $1, the antique glass drawer knob $4, the lace ribbon & trims were $2.50 total, and the antique wooden furniture embellishments were $6.50 for the set of 5(a rare find).
I have a "thing" for bread boxes...this is my newest find and it was $9.50.
I lined it with black & white checkered paper...it's pretty roomy.
Most of these clothes were from the $2 a bag and $5 a bag sales (plus my mom and aunt had many things in these bags that aren't pictured). I figure the clothes were from .10-.25 each. Sorry for the wrinkles, I took the pictures while these were drying on the clothesline. The capris and shorts are for my Lilly Pulitzer collection. Yes, I have a collection of Lilly that is mainly either too little or too big, but I just love to look at them. And it's nice to find Lilly for A LOT less than $150 or more! One day I will probably sell these.
The nightgowns & robes are mostly all vintage and will go in "The Porch" when we do a bedroom theme. 
This vintage baby dress was $4.
The Limited pink shorts and the retro market tote are for me...the shorts were in the $2 bag and the tote was $1.
Old housedresses for "The Porch". I love it when you can tell that they were well used...weird, I know.
These pillowcases were $1.50 and match a sheet that I found last year, so I had to get them. Here's a very well used housedress. I can only imagine the chores that were done while wearing this...cooking, cleaning, gardening, laundry, wiping the precious childrens' noses...
The vintage skirt in the middle is for me, the robe and housedress for "The Porch".
The apron was $1
Such a cute peignoir set and vintage prudish robe/nightgown with tiny pink bows in the chest area...it zips, buttons, AND ties...this would be great for the wedding night, wouldn't it?!
After the wonderful day of thrifting, I just had to go to Goodwill in Tappahannock and I found these Ralph Lauren pants for $5,
and this chenille bedspread"ish" jacket for $4, 
The sweet Christmas p.j.s by Chicken Noodle are for my youngest and were $2.50 and the handmade gingham with lace trim skirt was $4 (for me).
I didn't get pictures of what my mom and aunt bought, but mom did get a marble topped side table for $2 and a chandelier (to re-purpose) for $2, which I'll show pics of later.
So, that's it for now. In part III, I'll show some of the gorgeous homes that we saw as we were thrifting...
'till then, have a great week!
So first off, I have to tell you something funny...somewhat. After eating crabs with my 7 year old tonight, I walked back in the kitchen to see her chugging the leftover butter/crab bits out of the dish. I think she was trying to out-do her sister, who at the age of 4, chugged the juice/jelly out of a vienna sausage can! Seriously! We obviously aren't watching our cholesterol as well as we should! 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
The first shop we got to was the St. Stephen's Thrift Shop in Heathsville. We've been here before and have always found treasures. Loved so many things here.
Next was my most "favoritist" thrift store that I've found so far and it was one that we didn't even know about until my aunt saw the itty bitty sign halfway between Heathsville and Burgess. It's called Secondhand Rose. We turned off of Northumberland Hwy. onto Hull Neck Rd. and actually thought we were probably wasting our time. Well we weren't! There are actually two thrift stores side by side and they are absolutely adorable. The other store is called Rosebud Cottage. Look at these would 'ya:
I thought I was in heaven, walking into the most adorable old store and having the sweet ladies working there offer us apricot iced tea and a cookie jar full of cookies! We found many sweet things here at Secondhand Rose. I love the ambience of the old general store, the prices are wonderful, and we enjoyed the good old fashioned service! 
Rosebud Cottage was nice to visit, but a little pricier...definitely worth a look, though! She had adorable children's clothing for nice prices.
From there we went to St. Mary's Episcopal Thrift Shop in Reedville which was having a "fill a bag of clothes for $5 sale"!!! We packed about 25 things into that bag! We've always had good luck here as well.
Gotta love it!
On to Wicomico Thrift Shop which was having a "Fill a bag for $2" sale!!! It just gets better! We probably fit about 20 things in the bag there and bought some other cute things. They have very cheap prices and a lot of goodies! They do have limited hours though. We got there about 1:05 and the sweet ladies were nice enough to stay open another 20 mins.
Just a funny sign we saw...I wonder what this name is all about...
We should have known not to visit this store after seeing this sign...thifts?
We just happened to see this...what a great last name!
This was about a 7 hour trip. I'll continue with part 2 of 3 when I get a chance...thanks for hanging in there to the end!

Isn't this silverware that mom put together sweet?! There are 50 bunches of 4-8 pieces and each bunch is only $3.40 this weekend! And they are shown in the fabulously chippy drawer that I got at the sale here at the mall in the spring! I love it!
Happy Fall Ya'll!
