Random Treasure is My Middle Name. (It's Actually Gayle.)

I'm sitting here trying to type this post on the hubby's tiny computer because mine is in the shop getting fixed again.  It just malfunctioned for no reason, which totally stinks. Anyway, let's get to the good stuff!

I found some pretty neat things this past weekend, and I'm going to show you the rest of them today, jumbled together haphazardly :) (Tomorrow is the hubby's turn to show you his absolute best thrifted find ever!)

1920s Edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Heritage Antiques; Vintage Wooden Beaded Purse, Goodwill Outlet; Quilted Teddy Bear, Heritage Antiques; Assorted Bangles, Crappy Flea Market

 I had some great luck at one of my favorite antique malls on Sunday! Don't you just love the teddy bear? You can't tell from the picture, but it's pretty big! Perfect for leaning on to read a good book :)

I've been searching for a really old edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for quite a long time, and this one was only 6 bucks! The illustrations are neat too, because Alice looks like a mini-flapper girl!

I know I'm weeding out my purses, but I couldn't resist this heavy wooden beaded one. The mustard yellow is almost the exact color of my beloved big mustard cardigan! And the bangles? How could I pass up the only neat things in an otherwise crappy flea? (Plus, they were a dollar.)

Speaking of which, the hubby and I are going to check out a better flea market on Saturday! I can't wait! I hope to dig out some treasure :)

Always,
Amanda
