Thrifting in a flash...

So, it was crazy cold here this weekend.

Our babysitter is recovering from surgery and is doing well.

We had another bathroom pipe break off !

(living in a 100 yr old house this kind of stuff doesn't phase me anymore)

And I still managed to squeeze in some thrifting.

I have to tell the story of the pipe first.

I have been reading "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Ruben

One of the things I have decided to do is go to bed earlier in order to have more energy.

Yesterday I was just so worn out I obviously slept like the dead.

My husband said the pipe broke off after I went to bed.

He yelled for me several times

When I wouldn't rouse he ran down the stairs

Or as he explained it "fell down the stairs"

Took out 2 spindles from the banister

And had to run outside to shut off the water!

I felt so bad, yet shocked, and then realized I am sleeping very well!

All this and I had the energy to thrift ...and scored well in my book!

 Everything in this photo totalled about $16.00

I got two of the platter for $2.00 each

The Coverlet underneath was handmade (of course in my favorite shade of green) $5.00

The tin was $1.00 - I have one or two similar ones

Watch $2.00

Necklaces $1.50 for both

All the rhinestone jewelry $5.00!

I hope to make the jewelry into an upcycled piece of original jewelry...

So what did you find this weekend?
