Sugar, Sugar

 

 Today was the start of the Summer city wide garage sales. I found several treasures that I can't wait to show off and stock in the shop! The aqua sugar cannister was one of my favorite items of the day, simply because I love the color.

 

This yellow cannister was one of last weekend's finds:

 

 

 

I scored a Polaroid One camera with film already loaded, and several unopened packs of film. I tested it out at a friend's house... her kitty was the only willing model I could find. 

 

I like how the picture has that vintage 70's feel , it reminds me of when I was little.

 

 

My largest purchase of the day was a fun 60's orange leather office chair, pictures to come in a later post.

Upcycled Thrifty Print DIY

 

I upcycled this baby from some ugly .10 prints I found at a yard sale. I got the idea from Elsie and Emma @A Beautiful Mess. I followed the directions, except I used pink spray paint rather than acrylic paint. I applied 3 coats, drying completely between each, and drying over-night before I lifted the letters off. (I found the stick on letters at the Dollar General). In the mean time, I sprayed the frame with aqua... and who doesn't love The Princess Bride, seriously.

 

 

Welcome

Welcome to Arbor Lane!

We are Ricky and Freedom, partners in life and business.

Once upon a time we lived together in New York, but have now settled in the great state of Wisconsin. I won't say cheese was a major factor, but it might have been.

Our focus is on fun vintage household items and kitchen goods. We love hunting for new items to decorate our own home and yours! (I also won't mention that Ricky wants to keep more things than he wants to sell, but at least our pad is looking retro fab!)

In future, we will also offer handmade items for your home.
