The rare times when they do turn up are mini occasions for celebration. (No champagne involved, but it sure is exciting!)
Last week I stopped at a thrift store in the middle of the week and hit the vintage tablecloth jackpot. Take a peek:
Okay, it isn’t a pile of pristine Wildendur tablecloths with their original tags. I’m not complaining! Would you? Didn’t think so.
My guess is most of them belonged to the same household. I’m sure people who have the fun of shopping estate sales find piles like this all the time. Lucky you! Now we’re even.

It’s official: WE WANT A SCOTTY CAMPER!

It was a beautiful, sunny, breezy, fall day—perfect for camping! The Salisbury State Reservation campground was packed was amazing little campers plus a couple vintage cars and trucks, and we saw quite a few nosy people (besides us!) looking at everything. Thank you, Scotty owners, for letting us traipse through, take a million photos, eat your Halloween candy, and listen as we oohed and aahed over your tiny homes.
Here are just a few of them!
