Did You Know....

That today is National Thrift Shop Day? I wish I could celebrate by going thrift shopping! Maybe later this week.

Since I can't go today, I thought I'd share a few pictures of some recent purchases.




These old blue canning jars were $3.50 & $4.



This old green bowl (I love the color!) Was $5. I keep it on top of my Hoosier cabinet. It makes a great storage container for my fabric napkins.




This old metal coffee pot is rusty and doesn't have a lid. I thought it would make a great container for a fall bouquet! I paid $2.50 for it.

I hope all of you have been doing well. I haven't posted in over a week. I think this has been one of my busiest summers ever!

  5. I love your items! I didn't know it was national thrift day, but guess what, I went to a thrift store today. I got some old linens, 2 small yard flags,three stainless steel bowls with lids, a box of old buttons, a Fire King jadeite saucer to go with the cup I already had, an old looking small bowl with a flag etched into it to put in my bedroom to hold a fat candle and a pair of shorts! And I only paid 3.25 for all of that. Don't you just love thrift stores. People who don't go to them, just don't know what they are missing.

  8. Now you have to love the thrift store! I was going to go today but may have to wait until tommorow, I got carried away around here changing things around.
    I have a white coffee pot like yours, I have flowers in it, from the thrift of course. I'll put a picture of it on my site in a few days.
    So nice to hear from you.
