{Thrifty Thursday} Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market


Hi friends and welcome to Thrifty Thursday! I have a fun installment, where not only will I show you my thrifty, vintage find from the last week, but I'm also going to tell you about the FUN event where I picked up my vintage finds...the Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market!

This event is put on by the "trio," go read more about them here!

Some highlights...

I met my good friend Symone at the event, whom I haven't seen in over two years! Always a good excuse to get out of the house and spend quality time with friends! Fun story, I also "reminded" Laura from Pink Cake Plate about the market through Instagram, so I ended up getting to chat with her a bit too! 

I discovered some fantastic local vendors!
Like Vagabond X-Change who made this GORGEOUS Arizona flag out of reclaimed wood!
Symone's friend Lisa snatched it up, but I found out that they have a booth at a local antique mart that I may just have to visit!

And this little birdie at the Mad for Wood booth was just too cute! My friend ended up buying an adorable teal blue chair with a zebra print seat from that booth.

Also, I met Liz from The Blue Eyed Owl! I've interacted with Liz numerous times through social media, so I was glad that we got to actually meet in person, and she's just fabulous! Oh and her booth was ahhhhh-mazing!

And of course, as promised, I'll finally share my thrifty, vintage purchase from the market. I had my lil lil one, so unfortunately (or maybe fortunately on my wallet), I didn't have much time to do serious shopping. However, if you know about my Pyrex obsession, you'll know why I had to pick up these beauties from the Blue Eyed Owl booth! A lovely set of four Spring Blossom 2 mugs that go perfectly with my medium bowl! I just LOVE them! I've never come across Pyrex mugs on my own thrifty adventures, so I was so thankful Liz had a set for sale!

Well I hope you enjoyed this week's installment. What thrifty or vintage finds have you come across lately?
