I been going out on more excursions around town lately, exploring a bit. We have 3 thrift stores sort of close by. I found this adorable china pattern. It had a all my favorite colors and the cutest little teacups. It didn't have a price, and it was half off day, too. I should have inquired about it, but got distracted by a four year old that wasn't that into the store. I'll go back this week and see if it is still around. The platter would look great handing on a wall.
We make the trek to Solana Beach so I can go to my favorite store Solo. I get sad if I can't go. The store is set and up by individual vendors that sell the coolest and unique items all beautifully and artfully displayed. Here a a few shots of the place. It's a must see store if you are traveling to San Diego. 
I stumbled across this fabulous consignment store, Village 202 in Solana Beach. The owners take in lots of model home pieces and have some beautiful artwork and vintage pieces as well. You really have to take your time so you don't miss anything. I have a thing for sunburst mirrors and was happy to see some. The funny thing about this store, was I found out days later, the store is owned by a friend's Aunt and Uncle. What a small world. 
I escaped the family for about 20 minutes the other day on our vacation and literally ran through this treasure filled Antique Mall. I have tried to visit this store on many occasions, but it's always closed on the days I visit. But not this time. On my run through the store, I saw lots of fun mintage items. They had great chandeliers and lots of turquoise glass.
