Lots of Free Goodies

So as I had mention before I went home this past week to spend some time with my family. I had lots of fun mother daughter time. We went shopping and ate at some of my favorite Chicago places. Portillos chop salad and italian beef anyone??? Soooo good! Anyway, one of the highlights was going to my aunts house, visiting with my cousins and their really adorable kids, and my aunt giving me tons of free awesome things. I learned most of my crafty ways from my aunt growing up. She has a serious nack for sewing, crafts, and decorating. Well she is updating her house and her style and is parting with tons of awesome things and she just gave them to me. Yes I got all this stuff for free. It included a picnic basket, lots of nick nacks and vases, a cookie book, vintage magazine holder, a blanket, and 3 drapery panels! She is super awesome!

The best thing she gave me thats not pictured here is an old sewing machine and table. You know the peddle ones that are iron and wood. Can't wait to show you what I am going to do with it! There is only 2 weeks left of my summer vacation! I don't know where the time went. But I have lots of projects to finish before it starts so be on the lookout!  Have a great weekend!
