Lovin' those thrift store finds~

It is another cold...brr...day in Michigan today so
the plan for me is to stay indoors and maybe get some
more creating done. However before I get to that
I thought I would show you a few of my finds lately.

Still loving this Sander tablecloth. This is the tag that is
on it. If anyone can decifer for me I think that would be
wonderful. Right now it is my favorite tablecloth!

Thinking outside the box here. I found these crown
earrings on clearance at Claire's after Christmas
in their 10/$10 bins. I found four sets and they will be
used to embellish bottles at some point.
{they were regular $10 per card!}

This bottle was 1.50 at the antique store so I had to snatch it. Haven't a clue what I will do with it yet. Maybe just display??

Have you ever seen a heart bottlebrush garland? This was at the Goodwill too with the TJ Maxx tag still attached. It will be heading up to my booth soon.

This candle is so much prettier in person! I received one for a Christmas gift and I found this one the other day at the Goodwill. My first one is all used up so was tickled to find this one. They are from Kohl's.

Oh my goodness! How in the world did this little sweetie end up in my thrift store finds?? Well she was NO thrift store find at all, but I would have scooped her up had she been!! LOL

I just found these this past week. Neat silver creamer and beautiful vintage rose plates. 50 cents each.

Vintage Iris pitcher at the Goodwill as well...

I purchased this set before Christmas. It was found at
an estate sale. Have you ever seen one of these sets? The custard cups are marked Pyrex and the deep bowl
that they set in is marked Fire King.

Now I need to get busy before the whole day is gone and
I have accomplished nothing. I hope you have a
wonderful Monday!! Blessings~

I found some goodies

I spent all day so far taking down and putting away
*Christmas* so I thought I would take a break and
share some of my new found goodies with you.

I picked up three of these LOVE signs packaged
together at Hobby Lobby on clearance after Christmas.
Wish you could see how sparkly it is. It is covered with
glitter and is quite large. I am thinking
Valentines Day.
It will be here before we know it!

I also found four of these cats and dogs signs at the
Goodwill. They were brand new and still in their plastic
wrapper. Love the colors.

This is a Katie Brown plate that I thought was interesting.

Now if any of you have an idea of what this dish is please
let me know. Another Goodwill find. I am thinking butter dish
but, on the bottom is stamped, " designed by gourmet village
dishwasher and microwave safe" and then it has some
words in french as well. So I am now thinking why in the
world would a butter dish be microwave safe?? What do you think?

I also purchased this wire basket at the Goodwill
and sold it the same day I put it in my booth.

My *icing on the cake*...Rachel Ashwell simply
shabby chic comforter in perfect condition for $15.

I have also picked up some neat old books lately and
a few other goodies, but don't have pictures of those
yet. What have you been doing?

My house looks like a hurricane struck trying to get
everything put away,but I am getting there. Much sorting
and digging out to do in the next few weeks as well.
I am purging and most of it will probably end up
in my booth.
If you see anything you are interested in give me
a shout out and I will see what I can do.

I also want to give my booth a makeover sometime
soon so we will see how that ends up working out.
Have a beautiful day...
This is the day that the Lord hath made!!
Blessings~

White Wednesday Destiny ~

These stools were destined to
come home with
me ~
I have never seen such vintage goodness~ I could not believe it when I spied these at a thrift store last Friday. They even swivel...how great is that ~ Amazing wicker goodness~ They were destined to come home and live with me because this store used to open at noon. So I spent some time at another store waiting. I ended up getting to the thrift about 11:45 and thought I would just wait in the car until it opened. It was already open Apparantly they had changed their opening time to 11 am and they did not call me and let me know! lol As soon as I saw these stools I loved them. I took them to the front and they told me that someone else had them picked up , but then put them back. See... I told you... destined to be at my home ~

These stools have spawned an idea. I want to get rid of our kitchen table and put in a chippy white piece as an island to set these stools at. Hubby even loved that idea. Now the hunt begins for a neat reasonable priced piece ~ Hop on over to Faded Charm and see more White Wednesday goodness~

Oh I forgot to tell you...$3.00 each ! Blessings~
