Antique Store Finds
I am so in love with my local antique shop. So-in-love.
I was able to walk in and find exactly the two things I needed, as well as two things I really wanted.
For the two essential items: I found the exact container I wanted for my portable breastfeeding station. It looks perfect, and it even fits my 40-ounce water bottle. It's a little on the heavy side, but I can deal with it. I also found the exact little kind of wooden drawer I wanted to use as a shelf above my desk. It will hold my new tape dispenser, as well as a few other desky items.
I also found an amazing card catalog that I couldn't resist. I mean, the overarching theme for our home is old school house, so it made perfect sense. It will be a helpful place to store more office supplies.
Finally, I found a yellow frame that I really adore for some reason. Once I got it home, I realized that it holds 8.5 x 11 paper, which gave me an idea. I framed the most recent letter I wrote to Coconut. Every time I write him a new letter, I'll take out the old one and put it in his scrapbook. I'm excited!
Are you ready for the grand total for my four items? $50.
Woo-hoo!

We LOVE antiques, too! Selwyn's "changing table" is an antique dresser with a hand-made, removable "topper" that my dad made for the pad. Once we're done with having all our kids use it as the changing table, we just pop off the top and are left with a beautiful dresser!
I'm not a big antique person but that card catalog is AWESOME! That's really fantastic.
