Thrifty Finds

I paid a visit recently to my local Goodwill and found a few sweet little things! I love this lady figurine which I do believe is the top of a pincushion. The little Japan cup and saucer is just as cute as a button!! Also found this embossed pot ~ again I think this may be a Mc Coy!! Also scored these nice restaurant china bowls too.

Sweet pieces of vintage jewelry ~ a pin with lovely baubles and a souvenier bracelet from Washington D.C.

Then on Friday morning I stopped at about 5 or 6 garage sales--and I was rather successful!

These are such fun! Vintage store display pieces for sunglasses! I just wish I had a slew of old glasses to display on these!*! I paid a whoppin' 25cents each for these cuz the lady was cleaning out and wanted to get rid of them!! Happy day!!

At another sale I found this awesome old paper umbrella! I LOVE the pretty graphic blue & white!



She also had some lovely china pieces ...

wonderful biscuit tin with great color and a lovely old comb!

I found a few other things, but I'm saving all the white stuff for my next White Wednesday post!


But for today, I'm joining Linda at Coastal Charm for Nifty, Thrifty Tuesday!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Thriftin'!!!

RANDOM RAMBLINGS

I haven't really been out much lately to find anything new but I have picked up a few things. I have been buying from a man I've known for several years now. He and his wife do estate clean-outs...not as glorious as it may sound because they have to take the good, the bad, and the ugly! Dan also is my Mr. Fix-it for the bigger jobs I can't handle and my builder too--very handy to have around since my hubs is often too busy on the farm!! Often times he comes up with some good stuff!! Like this great celluloid silverware...

Got all this wonderful pearl cotton from Goodwill!! Creamy white and pastels...very springy!!

Vintage cookbooks~~~I love all the handwritten notes and little extra pieces of paper you often find in these!!! So personal and charming!! I bought these from Dan also as well as a load of cute cookie cutters...

Another Goodwill find~~~future pincushion!

I have been pincushion crazy lately-basically anything with a hole in it!!!



My first Etsy purchase!!! And I am hooked!!!

Gorgeous vintage photo album with the most fabulous pages!

It almost seems sinful to alter these pages~~~

A couple bottle projects---these were kinda fun!

Our spring open house is this coming Weds. so the next few days will be crazy busy!! I have all these ideas swimming around in my head waiting to get out!! I hope the weather cooperates and we have a good turn out~~will try and take lots of pictures once I get everything just right!*!*!


Have a wonderful weekend!!
