We've hit a bit of a rut with the kitchen. We have our countertops, but are stuck at finding someone to install them. Ikea gave us the name of a company when we bought them, claiming they would come to our area...which they are now saying they won't. So, we're making phone calls and searching a bit. Our pendant lampshade is on backorder so we are still waiting on that, too.
That didn't stop me from getting a bit of thrift/consignment store shopping in today. I was hoping to find some aqua Pyrex or some sort of baker's rack to put on our old fireplace wall in the kitchen. I didn't find either, but I did grab a few gems.

We found these little shooter glasses and caddy at Consignment Connection. We've been planning to add a liquor cabinet/bar to our dining room, so this is the perfect companion.
This sweet little squirrel and walnut are hanging out in the living room until the kitchen is settled.
I haven't decided if I'm going to leave this owl as he is and hang him in the living room or spray paint him a solid color for the kitchen. Keep an eye out for him in the future.
I actually let out a little squeal when I saw this. Kitchen destiny.
My favorite find of the day! How cute is this? It's going to fit perfectly in the kitchen and has some serious function to boot. It's courtesy of Blue Elephant, a newer shop in The Fan that I could very happily live in forever.

I love that last letter holder. I really have to get myself out to some thrift stores.
My hubby and I are thinking of going with Ikea cabinets. Ikea is a weekend trip away. before we make the trip could you give me your opinion? What do you think about the quality of the cabinets? I know they are cheaper, but can you tell? Thanks!
That squirrel made me squeal when I saw it ;-). How lucky you were to find those treasures!
Chandeen,
We are keeping our current cabinets, so we only went with Ikea countertops. I've heard great things about pretty much all of their kitchen pieces, though!
found your blog through garden web...enjoying scrolling through but i wanted to say i love your vintagey finds!
