My latest find at the thrift store this week are these vintage Lady Sunbeam hot rollers. :) Sooooo excited to try these out. Vintage hair styles here we (Mimi and I) come!

The plastic box is a robin egg blue and I just love the flower decoration on top of the curler with the little red dot that turns dark red from bright red when hot.

WELL...it FINALLY happened!!!! As I was looking at piles of other people's somewhat stinky, stale and dusty junk I saw some rugs tossed in the corner.

But because I regularly look at and daydream of owning a really expensive Persian rug, I kinda know what nice rugs look like, even from the back. I saw this rug and thought right away it looked like it had the potential to be nice. So I took it off the shelf and rolled it out only to find, A. it was in MINT condition and B. there was another one right behind it. They were marked $5 a piece! I scooped them up, paid for them and RAN out the door before they realized what just happened.

Well these are Beluchi rugs. They are about 3 feet x 4 feet, made in Belgium!!! I looked them up online and for a rug similar to this would cost around $280...for just one of them!!! Now I have 2! I am elated and all my trips to the stinky dusty smelling DI have paid off and convinced me that no matter what, I will NEVER stop perusing the isles of the DI.

...voila! A new green mirror that miraculously coordinates with the green side table in our Living Room.
