A Colorful Vintage Gift

Vintage Metal Glasses: Gift from Grandma C

I was so surprised- and excited- to get these colorful vintage cups from my Grandma C for Josh and I's three year anniversary! They are such a thoughtful gift that I honestly love. :)

My favorite things about them are the wonderful colors, and the fact that my mom drank out of ones just like them when she was a kid. Josh's favorite is the blue cup, which is the same shade as his Mustang, and I love the bright pink and the dark green. :)

They're so pretty that I just want to look at them all the time! Thank you, Grandma C. :)

Always,
Amanda

PS: Sorry for the later-than-usual post...I'm home sick, and I just completely forgot to post! I went to the doctor and got some medicine, so I should be feeling better really soon. :)

Pretty Brooches

Vintage Brooches, Gift

My hubby's aunt brought my sis-in-law a couple containers full of old jewelry to look through, and of course my sis-in-law thought to show them to me too! I was lucky enough to be given these two beautiful brooches that are just my style. :)

The top one is especially neat, since it seems to have real age to it. It is heavy and pink and beautiful- thank you so much Aunt Melanie and Ashley!

Always,
Amanda

Fishin' for Presents

Fly Fishing Glass Cup, Goodwill Outlet

I like how Sarah of Five Camels ordered business cards to the effect of "thrifted and thoroughly washed by Sarah."

I personally find most of my gifts for people at thrift shops, too, so I see how such a card would be helpful for gift recipients! The above glass cup is for my father-in-law (who I don't think reads this, so it should be okay!), because he's a fan of fly fishing.

Some people are harder than others to shop for, so when I find something for them while thrifting, I grab it! Does anyone else shop for gifts at the thrifts?

Always,
Amanda
