Yesterday while driving to my son's end-of-year field trip, I spotted a store that gave me pause. "Community Thriftstore" it said. Since we live a half hour away and don't frequent that town I had never seen it before. Needless to say I was thinking about that store the entire time we were on the field trip! So of course we stopped there on the way home.
The place was h-u-g-e! We didn't have a lot of time to spend, but I did find this little beauty.
I added the shredded paper and paper butterflies (thank you, Jen @ Jenniferrizzo {dot} com ~ Blogger's not letting me link up!) made from vintage book paper.
I know it's small for a "trophy cup", (okay, some might say it's more of a two handled cup) but I've been wanting one for a long time. They're pretty hard to find and they're so expensive. This, however, was not!
Chickadee Number 3 got a Beanie Baby. And we both left happy.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Kathleen, Funny how shredded paper is the perfect accent to any vintage piece. I borrowed my SIL's plain strip shredder and have shredded sheet music, pattern tissue paper, dictionary pages... brown paper...all with lovely results! Great find!
What a cute trophy cup, Kathleen. I know what you mean, they seem hard to find. By the time I'm done w/field trips, I'm usually too tired to stop anywhere!
Hey TRADITIONAL
friend! Now,
THIS is the stuff
that I.just.love.
Great score!! I
think I'm more
rustic-elegant than
pure rustic : )
I have a little
trophy collection
and it works great
in my hubby's office
with the stone fireplace
and leather club
chair!
Happy Monday,
xx Suzanne
