Big Sale at Zootsuitmamas' house and etsy!

Hello, it's been a while...so many things changing it's wild! Hope to be moving by the end of June after nine years in this house! Maybe a new job, and my eyes are finally better!! Exciting stuff, yes, but NOT as exciting as the fact that I am PURGING the house and all of my stored items! Cheapo cheapo! I will be featuring some of the items on Etsy, here and of course my house again this weekend (Sat. only, May 25th indoors). Last week was just "ok" because of some rain and I think lots of graduations. So I've lost my mind and am doing it all over on Saturday, estate sale style. I will give my readers super good prices, so when I list, please feel free to contact me and even haggle!!!



vases tables etc...



barkcloth and drapes



statues figurines



vintage maytag stove, kitchen items



radios, dishes, pink and turquoise melmac

More specific pix will be posted tonight!

Thriftstore finds and gloomy weather

Not a whole lot of thriftin' been goin' on around Zootsuitland! With my double vision still hanging on from my high bloodpressure scare (partially paralyzed my optic nerve) and the gloomy weather hanging on with it, rainy cloudy and cool, I just seem to make it to work and home. But last week I found a bunch of cool stuff all in one place! This Copper retractable hanging lamp in perfect condition, this blonde corner table ($4.00!) that has a few little scratches, orange vintage sheets, and my pride and joy, this vintage fan on a stand, Vernon, with a cool starburst insignia! Also, a really nice Pendleton!

I am sooooo ready for the rain to stop so I can start gardening. How's the weather where you are? The sheets, Pendleton and hanging copper lamp all went to Etsy shop!

Snow, lazy dogs and a trip to the hospital

Sorry to post such a downer but, anyone else tired of Winter? My bloodpressure went sky high Thursday and I ended up in the hospital, sent home last night with very few answers and now it's snowing again. At least my dogs are a comfort to me. I used to love blogging, and sharing my vintage things, but some idiot wants to ruin that too...and has started leaving horrible nasty comments. I think I have figured out how to stop this? I see other people have their blog set so there is a way to block out these comments, but I don't remember how. Help! I love my blog and blog friends, and want this to stop!!

Orange cha glad I didn't say Banana?

Just a quicky post to show you my new living room colors

I brought out the Fall curtains and I'm going to accent with turquoise! Just need a change. The barkcloth plumed drapes and flamingos are going to my bedroom!

Something about these sixties printed curtains are really appealing to me lately...If I remember right, they came out of some really low budget catalogs...definitely not the caliber of barkcloth, but I think they are sooooo fun

and the sixites harlequins...too!

time....for a new post

I think too much time has passed since my last post!so I thought I'd let ya know what I've been up to. I have been trying to brighten up the place, so I used the cheapo option, paint! I have brought out the fishies for the Spring and Summer, got a cool cheap shower curtain and voila! instant cheery!

my son Matt getting ready to dig us out last week, Ziggy the dog watching!

I plan to spruce up some other areas of the house with good ole spray paint, now that the weather is getting warmer and all the monstrous snow is melting.All the sudden, I'm all about color! I dug up this Harlequin plaque when I was searching through the basement! Love it!Well, if anyone is still interested in the ballerina give a way, Show me what you're doing to prepare for Spring, and mention my blog!

New Giveaway~~

HOT CHA CHA!

This decorating book went to the Etsy shop, but chock full of awesome pix and tips, early seventies...

I love my recent thrifting finds! Blurry, but these are my fav! Haven't found anything like these dancers for a while! Of course, I always have a weakness for the chalk stuff, Miller studios especially. I'm trying to find enough small ones to go around my whole kitchen like a border. A while back I found this skillet with roosters and farm scenes ...I looked at it for a few weeks until they marked it down.  OOO, don't look at the grease on my counter top, didn't see that until I took the pix! LOL! These cute handmade dolls for Valentine went straight to Etsy shop, but I love em! So cute and original. I wonder if someone made them for their Grandkids? I need to announce a new prize for the giveaway, too! I'll figure that out today while I'm going through my stuff!
