Back with more vintage treasures!

I'm back from hiatus with some great vintage finds to share!  April was so busy and there was just no time for shopping or blogging.  Finally, yesterday, I was able to spend the morning scouting estate sales and realized how much I missed it.  I went to four sales and found some fun stuff at two of them.  

My favorite find is this 70s string art: 
While string art can be tacky sometimes, I think this one is very pretty and modern. The background is matte black fabric instead of the shiny velvet you sometimes see with these. 

This is something I've never seen before - it's a kit for making a fiber optic tree.  So kitchsy and cool! 

I love cheeky vintage mugs.  I was tickled to find this one for my collection.  

This vintage cloisonne tin box is almost antique - it's from the 1920s. I love the colors and design.  

I got these hand carved figurines for a song.  They are probably not very old, but I like them. 

Finally, I hemmed and hawed over this set of bookends.  I think I might paint them a bold color.  

Well thanks for stopping by!  I really missed keeping up with my favorite blogs over the last month, and I'm looking forward to catching up!
