Thrifty finds



Have you ever had days when you go into a thrift store and walk out with nothing? And then other days you find you are walking out with bags and bags? After weeks of finding nothing and running with low stock....I scored big time. Can you tell by the boxes?


The candle sticks were $1.50 for the pair! How cool are they? and I found that little fruit covered soup tureen for $4.oo!

I found a lot of great milk glass and a huge chip/dip bowl for $3.00! I love milk glass in the winter with greenery and red accents.

It even stretched onto the table. You have to love a day of great finds!

  5. You found a great thrift shop! I can't seem to find great stuff...and if I do, they've priced it as though I were in an antique store. Thanks for sharing!

  16. Sometimes I find that how many items I bring home from a thrift store depends on my creativity for that day. Sometimes, days later I will wish I had bought something I saw in the store and didn't. You brought home some neat stuff.
