Thrifty Finds at Bella Rustica

I spent Friday hunting down treasures at Bella Rustica and hanging out with some of my favorite bloggers.  I will be telling y'all all about Bella Rustica later this week.  For now, you can get a little hint from this sign for at least part of what I have in store for you....

I feel blessed to have lived close enough to go to such a great event and meet a group of lovely ladies.  Hang tight and I will share lots of pictures and fun with you soon.  For now, what did I buy?  I did not go looking for anything in particular.  There were tons of thing that I loved and the eye candy was really enough to make anyone melt.  But I really wanted a few pieces to remember the day.

I have wanted a vintage kitchen scale for a long time.  I got this one for $12 which I felt was a really great price.  This one was from a booth ran by Carter's Creek Station Antiques.  I have not been to their store but I am planning on stopping as soon as I get a chance.  Donna with Funky Junk Interiors actually wrote all about them in a great post full of pictures.

Then I picked up a couple of other items that I don't know what to do with yet.  Maybe y'all have some ideas?

The first is this rusty metal spool that I fell in love with.  I couldn't stop thinking about it all day.  That must be a sign it was meant to come home with me right?  It was from a booth ran by Three French Hens.

Plus a bunch of vintage mail from Vintage Junky.  Michelle actually has a great blog too.  That is where I first fell in love with her!  Getting to meet her this weekend was amazing!  I snapped a few pictures of her booth for you as well which I will share in another post.

There you have the spoils from my fabulous day.  Later this week I will share my adventures! Showing off my thrifty treasures at Southern Hospitality
