Thrift and Auction Treasures

I am a firm believer in keeping your eyes open for a great find! After all… why pay full price, when you can have it so cheap? ;) Here are a few of my latest finds.

This little print above is one that I just picked up in my local thrift shop for .99 cents! I love roses, and for .99 cents … it had to come home with me :)

I try to find things to display in my little Victorian glass house, so for Spring it’s a simple cast iron bunny & eggs :) The little vintage lace piece was in a $1 box of goodies that I picked up at auction!


I love this new platter! I just picked it up from the thrift store for $1.99! I love the bright red apples & the different shades of green in the leaves, stem, and platter. When this piece caught my eye I had to pick it up, because I knew that it would go with my decor perfectly! When I brought it home – I simply added it to the new Spring display (I think it will work for most of my displays ;) in my vintage pine cabinet.

Dear Pearl,
Your print and lace piece are my favorites. Both are certainly worth much more than what you purchased them for. Your little glass house is a keeper.
Enjoy this glorious day.
Blessings,
Dolores

Like you I too love to find a bargain rather than pay full price. I especially love to recreate things. I love your idea for making your own bath bird and pots. I am definately going add it to my ‘to make’ list and give it a try.
