Thriftshare....

Saturday morning

we just wanted to get out of the house....

I had seen the night before
 that our local Salvation Army

was having a huge indoor yardsale.

I had been to this particular one 

several times -years ago.

It was always packed and had lots of good finds..

We arrived 30 minutes after it was supposed to begin

and when we went in....

WAH-WAH...

There were two whole people with booths

and they were pitiful.

We hopped back in the van 

and decided to stop at Krispy Kreme

so Little keeper could see the

"donuts take a bath".

A long time favorite thrift store is a few doors down so we 
decided to stop there
to see if we could salvage the morning.

Slim pickings again...

However,
 I did spy these as I was on my way out...

I have to admit I bought them

for sentimental reasons...

My great grandmother had a set in her bathroom

and they are one of those things that stick out in my mind when

I remember her house...

I may put them near my desk in my little studio space.

$1.98 !

We headed home to drop off my hubby

and then Little Keeper went with me to run a few errands...

A couple of streets from our house,
 I spied an Estate Sale that had not been advertised.

SO I

dropped off the kiddo and headed back around the corner,

hoping this sale would save my thrifty Saturday morning...

The houses in this particular neighborhood

were built in the 30's and 40's

and a lot of them are still occupied by original owners.

I love stepping inside them because most of the time

they have not been updated.

Original cupboards and tiles in the kitchens 

and chocked full of vintage furnishings.

I think there were quite a lot of items when it opened 

and I was catching the last of the smalls...

 I have always wanted one of these flour sifters

and this one just needs a good cleaning.

$2

The little paper doll was just sitting on a counter so they gave her to me

for .10cents

There are four delicate little baby doll dresses

and 

a bonnet

marked "Linda Baby" on the tags inside...

I figured I could use them in some sort of project or trade them.

$3

There was only 1 tiny baby doll skate

and I took it to use in a shadow box.

.20cents

This velvet photo holder was just too beautifully aged

to pass up.

Definitely will be making a book out of it!

This great little house turned out to

have some wonderful  finds.

I didn't spend much but was very happy with my take home!

Did you find anything this weekend?
