Rummage Sale

My favorite rummage sale ever took place this morning...I must have been in a fairly strange mood, because I picked up things that normally I wouldn't even look at.  What I mean is, I bought these three textiles:

A pink, peach, green and purple Mexican blanket (I have a kelly green, white and black one that I have held onto since highschool, and I recently took it out of storage - mostly to sigh over - it hasn't found a place in my home).  I don't really know what I will do this one either, but I picture laying them down at the park to watch fireworks when the kids are older...

A wool throw blanket.  I love the pattern.  I think I need to dry clean it.  Wool means dry clean only, right?  I have an idea of where this will go - I will show you if it works out. (After I get it out of the dry cleaners - definitely dry clean, no?)

This small rag rug runner in gold and green.  It was $1 and I don't have a place for it now, but I loved it!

A golden pyrex bowl - and an update of the kitchen shelves....I better take it easy, I have no idea how much weight these shelves are meant to hold.

Another platter - an everyday item we will actually use!  We broke two platters about a month ago...so I am on the hunt for replacements.  Although, collecting pretty platters may become my latest addiction.

This (useless?) little red basket.  I like - very much.

Don't forget to enter the Vintage French Tin Giveaway - draw is tomorrow! 

UPDATE: We gave the wool throw a rinse + spin with the Eucalan wash, now it is drying on the deck.

Its seems pretty good, but I feel like I have little fibers at the back of my throat that I just can't swallow.
