Thrift Store Thursday!

Oh, I have not been doing my rounds at the thrift stores lately, and a day like today makes me wish I had! I scored some lovely goodies...

OK, so it's just rick-rack, but it's ivory and there must be over 100 yards on this roll, and it's aged beautifully, hard to tell in the photo. And I can dye it.

Beautiful, dreamy vintage lots...


Whatever shall I do with this sweet little vintage bank...

Aaahh...ribbon dispenser...

Love this little pincushion...I'll replace the santa with a charm...

Silver....must...have...silver...

This cherub has the sweetest face...cuter than the photo...

Seriously, sooooo cute....



OK, now I have to go make stuff. Tune in tomorrow for Freebie Friday.

Thrift Store Thursday

I did a tour of the local thrift shops for the first time in a long while, really since way before Christmas. Actually the pickings were quite slim, but for a very determined shopper like me, there were a few gems:


I just love that little Napco chickie bursting from her egg, and the pieces of handmade lace were bundled together in a plastic bag for 25 cents!! Diamonds in the rough! And some vintage crocheted potholders, always love to find those!

Thrift Store Thursday

Well, I am making up for lost time here. For the first time in weeks, I made a tour of the local thrift shops, and am thrilled with my little haul. Look at the cute little celery salt and pepper shakers with their smiling faces, marked Japan on the bottom.
The orange and red pepper dishes seem like Pyrex, but are not marked.

These cute little crocheted dress potholders were sitting there on a shelf just waiting for me!
Thanks for stopping by!

Thrift Store Thursday

In general, I made but a modest haul at the thrift stores this Thursday.

However, I am over the moon over this hand crocheted handkerchief trimmed with a sweet little lady in bonnet and dress:


And look at this hand tatted lavendar lace trim:


Any day I can get my hands on hand embroidered linens and lace is a good day!!

Thrift Store Thursday

Scored a big fat zero at estate sales this weekend, but I did find some sweet things at thrift stores:
