I am a person who loves routines and schedules and my Fridays are no exception. Most go like this: Get dressed in my junking uniform which a version of what I am wearing below: jeans or cords, rain boots at this time of year because there is lots of standing around waiting in the rain to go to a sale, a comfy wool jacket, scarf, and leather backpack. I get an iced americano, black, even in the winter because an iced coffee will last me hours long, all day while I am in and out of the car running around. After coffee and the post office I go to Goodwill and then usually to some estate sales, waiting until the opening hubbub has died away since I don't care for the sign up sheets and pushy people. Yesterday I went to a dream sale! I almost didn't go...the start time wasn't until noon and it was kind of a drive but after lunch I decided to just head over there. There was still a little line to go in but the woman behind me turned out to be a friend from long ago! Once inside I found a vintage leather weekender that at every turn I found something to put inside. I snapped some pictures so show.

can you believe I found 2 of these yesterday? They are 1970's paperweights with nature frozen inside. I found the starfish at Goodwill and then later at the estate sale I found the butterfly. What are the chances? I've never even seen these before and then there were two!
really wonderful bags. a carpet bag overnighter and the leather weekender
hello little owl....
oh! A clock :)
a dozen little amber vitamin bottles with caps
a sweet brass bird and pale pink rayon ribbon
grey silk buttons and a bunch of leather ones
this is one of those wall hanging organizers. I love these! I have one that hangs on the inside of my closet door and inside are my gloves and my scarves. I will get this shabby one cleaned up for the shop.
The glass on this globe is amazing thick and a little cloudy. Maybe it is just dirty? I don't know but I think the look is wonderful
and finally a miniature cuckoo clock

Wonderful little treasures. I love the leather bag. I haven't forgotten that I will have things for you. A surprise package will arrive when you least expect it darlin'.
Have a nice weekend and enjoy your lovely things.
You have the eye that it takes to find the right thing! I am always lost in those sales!
I love the owl! A friend has a very similar one, bought at a french brocante, and it is a door stopper.
Ah, what a great junking day! I hope I can go to Portland one day and have a Friday junking day with you. The tickets for now are still a little too expensive. Maybe after the holidays. You look so cute as always :) I love your jacket.
wow! what a wonderful loot!! i don't think junking gets much better than that! you look great in your "uniform"!
SOOO good to see you! All of your finds are amazing and happy! I hope you are feeling the same R !

I love reading about other people's thrifting methods, fantastic finds, I LOVE the owl clock and cloudy glass ball especially and those paperweights are so beautiful!
Wow, excellent finds! I am definitely impressed :D
Wow Rebekah! Wonderful finds, I think I have my eye on that floral wall organizer! I love your junking outfit too it looks so cozy
Brilliant - love those finds, especially the clock!
How fun to get a walk through of a junking day. I haven't been on one in ages, so I will have to live vicariously through you! The cuckoo clock and the organizer are adorable, but all the finds are so great!
You look adorable! The owl clock is a hoot! (Pun totally intended.)
Fantastic finds! You look beautiful!
I love that little owl clock!!!!!!!
You look so darn cute in your junking outfit and those boots..... I kinda want a pair! They look cool!
Isn't it funny how we find something we've never seen before, and then see them everywhere?
The same thing happens to me with words, too.
Fun finds Rebekah!
That sounds like a great weekly routine to me!
I would just love to have a Friday routine like yours. And a uniform! It looks like you struck pay dirt at that sale - what amazing finds! I don't know if you are the type to jump for joy internally or otherwise, but I think I would have been jumping for sure. I hope you enjoyed a great weekend!
Rebekah, you are definitely the hippest and most stylish junker I know. Great junking uniform. Great finds, especially that vintage shoe bag (if you ever see one in pastel pinks - it would have my name on it :)
"Junking uniform"?! Best thing I heard thus far this morning! :-) Cheers, Julie
I would love your Fridays. My daughter and I love to go to garage sales. Those are on Saturday's here. It's been a while as we've each had plans the last several weeks, but we love it!! Very nice finds.
Such amazing finds and I love your junking outfit--such a great coat.
Hi. :) Thanks for checking in; I've been okay. And you? I've been in a bit of a funk. Finding meaningful work right now is depressing. blah. I'm a planner by nature and also find myself liking a routine, of sorts. As usual, your junking attire is super cute! Love that jacket. That leather weekender bag was a sweet find. And "weekender" is such a lovely description. I'm going on a getaway this weekend- up to Madison, WI. What lucky finds last Friday!
I'm so glad you ended up going to the sale, you found great treats. And i love your outfit!!! so cute,thank you for your comment on my blog it was so sweet and it makes me want to be a better person too,
xo,
