The start of a new life...

So yesterday I was laid off from my job with three other people.  It came as a shock.  Of course my shitty company didn't provide a severance and ended benefits the same day.  WTG Benefit Analysis! I immediately came home and updated my resume, filed for unemployment and NJ Family Care for health insurance for my daughter.  Unemployment isn't going to cut it when I have a 4 year old to raise, food to put in her tummy and bills to pay.  With that I decided to start sorting my vintage clothing, purses and shoes.  I've been collecting for over 20 years and realize I will NEVER have a 26" waist anymore and don't use a quarter of the shoes/purses I have.

On a side note, I found a 50s blonde desk and turquoise sectional at the house across the street from Lina's daycare.  I left a note on the door stating that if they throw out anymore furniture to PLEASE call me.  I got a call last week that the owner's son was going to be getting rid of more stuff so I immediately jumped on it.  I took some pictures of the inside of the house as well as the bedroom sets that were unfortunately promised :( BOOOO I managed to score 2 double tiered end tables and a boomerang coffee table that were part of the sectional.  The owner's son stated he threw away the corner piece and another piece to the sectional. I almost cried :(   The house is selling for $229K.  It has the most AMAZING original pink bathroom and the original wallpaper!  Take a look at the pictures below from the house!

Here are some pics of the sectional I got and the desk!

How I only wished I had the corner piece! :(

Ok now I have to go sort the vintage stuff I have to list.  I'll keep you all posted on my finds when I sort.
