we went thrift shopping and found so much great stuff. stephen rescued a 1960's sears telescope (still in the box), with the most amazing wood tripod. i have a rule when thrifting: the first object i find sets the tone, then all the items i want to get that day have to be related in some way (color, material, theme...). this time, it was the check tablecloth that set the color palette.

Great finds! Thank you for sharing your thrifting method...it's a wonderful idea. I have to say, I'm with Kendall, I haven't had great luck lately either...things around here seem to be antique shop prices! But, garage sale season is heating up!

haha i think i am the same way unconsciously- but in the end, i convince myself that most of my treasures simply must have been donated from the same household and how thoughtful i must be to keep them all together ;)
that table cloth is perfect for you guys!
