Vintage 101 Score!

Sorry,I have every intention of getting this post down the day after my last but you know..that thing called life gets in the way sometimes.Well anyway they aren't the greatest photos and I feel bad that they aren't displayed in all their glory (its a little crowded here while I'm care-taking and oh how I miss my pretty things packed away) BUT when we do move these lovelies will be going into my daughters room.

Back in November I picked up this dresser for $15.00!Due to the lighting it looks much more yellowed than it is,oh natural light you are so much better...

While I was in Vintage 101 I noticed the matching night stands!I didn't have enough for them but they guy cut me a deal,I was so happy!I only pictured one because I've already moved the other into the garage and I was too lazy to fish it out.Lazy blogger I know.But once we do get into our own home again I promise a beautiful vintage galore photo shoot of the new place!

I noticed for some reason a few of the photos I took of Vintage 101 didn't show on my last post so here are the ones that decided to go MIA.

Vintage 101...

Today was a great day.My mom stopped by and we loaded up the kids to see the Carlsbad flower fields.That was short lived when we found out it was $10.00...flowers are cool and all but not $10.00 to get in the gate cool,sorry flowers.

A trip to the shoe store for the kids which ended in 2 pairs of shoes for girl child and none for boy child as he became restless and "stereo-typical toddler no one likes in public" type so to the car we went.I told him as we walked back to the car he was only hurting himself here as he now got no new shoes...I don't think it had the same meaning to it as when I tell my girl that.

A quick run to the bike shop to FINALLY get a tire for my stroller and as Wayland found his happy place again my mom suggested staying in the car and letting Heidi and I wonder into a little shop called Vintage 101.

I've been in there a few times before and it doesn't disappoint.The guy that is always there is extremely friendly and helpful.The store has a little bit of everything.Clothes,furniture,knick knacks,home decor and housewares.Mostly its 1960s and 1970s but it does have earlier decades.I have a soft spot for kitsch so I can appreciate all aspects.

Here are some snaps of the shop.Sorry for the small photos,I'm having issue with my photo bucket not letting me resize my photos without distorting them and blah,blah more technical stuff you really don't care about.

If you should find yourself in North County San Diego take a minute to check it out.Oh and did I find anything that I couldn't leave without?You bet,but you'll have to stay tuned until tomorrow when I can get better photos.
