Thrifty Thursday

No, I'm not starting a new blog linkup - it's just that it's Thursday and I want to share some of my thrifty finds from last week! :)  Last Friday was the "pre-sale" for our favorite thrift sale. I didn't find as many vintage linens this time, though... maybe I bragged a little too much last May!! :)  And considering that we went pretty late in the day, I think I founds some neat stuff!!

I love this bowl!! $2.50 is a bit pricey for this sale, but this was worth it! :) I know, that isn't a bad price at all!! They had some pretty glassware this time!

I love these two! I'm discovering I have a love for those old cake keepers, although the other two I have are family treasures. Love the word "cake" on the front and the retro font! And the old movie camera!! :) (It goes great in my family room!)

Hmm... what color to paint those candlesticks? and what to fill that jar with?? And don't you love my enamelware finds? :)

Cuteness!!

So have you found any good thrifty finds recently? I love finding good things for just a little bit of money! And supporting a good cause!

  1. I Love it ALL! Especially the old cake keeper :) and the old movie camera...and the enamelware...and the glass apothecary jar...
    Sounds like a great sale!
    (Now I'm kicking myself for not getting something for you the other day - I saw an old metal cake keeper with cherries on it at the thrift store - it was really cool and retro looking. Just didn't want to pay 9$ for it - sometimes I'm just too cheap for my own good!)

  2. You DID do good! I have a small collection of enamelware and a not so small collection of milk-glass :)
    The cake keeper would be my favorite though :)

  3. Well, the bowl you bought for 2.50 - I just bought the exact same one a few weeks ago at a thrift store here for $1! :-) I love it!

  5. Thank you all. I do love finding good deals! (as you may have noticed!) This sale is so much fun!

    Oh, and Mom reminded me - she was the one who spotted the enamelware and she knew I would love it! Thanks, Mom!!

    Kristi, maybe I should go back and ask for a refund! :)

  6. I really like your cake keeper. So cute. My very good friend likes to thrift shop. It relaxes her. I only look for hankies or some small something from my childhood in the early sixties. Fun to look, though!
