I think I will try and do a "Thrifty Thursday" post....at least once a month...
That way...I can save up all my goodies, and devote one blog a month to them...
Good idea????
I thought so...
Let's begin...
Picked up this little Poodle last week at the Goodwill....$2...but oh so sweet...
He joined some of my other critters...and I think they liked him...
The tiny chipmunk even offered to share his meal with him...
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW....so cute :o)
Does anyone know what this type of ceramic is called????Kind of little squigglies of clay...remember the Play Doh barber shop??? and the hair came out in squiggles...like spaghetti...well...that is what it looks like...
 |
| Fabulous Pyrex wheat pattern casserole....mint condition...I left this one at the cottage....I had never seen this colour before... |
 |
| Bought this sweet little hand painted vase...with the leaves painted around the neck....Then I found another...a bit different...with a cute band painted around the neck, and tiny dots... |
 |
| Cute Pansy pattern..... |
 |
| My Violet on the kitchen table is doing very well....Do you like my latest tablecloth????? Homesense...where else?? |
Picked this adorable little cheeseplatter...with a magnetic knife...
and a detachable cracker tray!!!
Gave this to my son...as he loves
anything vintage form the 60's..
I know he will love it!!
 |
| Added another Jug to my ever-growing collection...love the colour and the "box" shapes of the glass... |
 |
| Last........but not least.....a Mccoy planter...looks like cabbage leaves...perfect for 2 violets!!! |
Visited Vivian yesterday...
She was having "a moment"...
Nothing Granny couldn't fix!!!!
Swaddled her up, and off to sleep she went...
After lots of hugs and kisses....:o)
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! :o)

Every once in a while I find something like the poodle that says, take me home!
ReplyDeleteI go to a local thrift shop and find some of the greatest things. My favourites are always the vintage dishes and kitchen supplies. The cheese board would have ended up at my place for sure!
Even crying Vivian is adorable.
I love finding different unique things...
DeleteAll of the glassware that I find...I use...
Yes...even crying...she IS adorable!!
Love the idea of Thrifty Thursday ... you could start a blog meme and I bet lots of bloggers would join in. The casserole and jugs and vases are lovely. So here is something else we have in common, we are both Granny to little cuties.
ReplyDeleteHi Crafty...I am not sure what a log meme is??? If it is technical..
DeleteI'm in trouble!!! Yes...we are... :o)
It is a Mr Linky, and others join in and link back to you. A bit technical I suppose. But I'm a techy Granny (that is what comes from having daughter and son in law in the website design business with websites, animation, blogs, digital advertising)
DeleteOh my gosh. Swaddling always works!
ReplyDeleteVivian really likes it...otherwise she seems to flail her arms around, and grab at her sweet face...I guess we used to do the same with our receiving blankets...now they actually have swaddling blankets...with velcro!!
DeleteI wish we could go thrift shopping together Linda, I adore your treasures as well as my own finds. It's a pass time that I really enjoy, I do feel as though things! (treasures) find me, or I like to think that I give them a good home. Your items all look at home at in your homes. I love the texture on the glass jug, that is special.
ReplyDeleteOu another thing to add " a cuddle solves most things"
You never know Lisa...maybe one day!! I do love the hunt...usually something calls me...and I take it home!! I think most real thrifters feel the same way...My daughter wants us to open a small store to sell our treasures....hmmmm..maybe not such a bad idea!!
DeleteCuddles solve a lot!!! for everyone...
I love your treasures and that's what makes it so hard when I try to purge. You got some good buys. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of Thifty Thursdays. We get to see all your new purchases once a month!
ReplyDeleteVivian needs ME to cuddle her! haha
Amazing what a little swaddling can do.
