Thrifty Thursday

This week's Thrift Store run was fast and fun. I had about 30 minutes before school pick-up to run in Goodwill. At first glance I didn't see much but as I made my slower bottom shelf search I came up with a few goodies. I also ran in another store last week so most of my loot is in this picture.

From Goodwill came the mirror, milk glass and the shabby green basket.
From Mission Thrift came the state map tray, toy iron, canning jar and packages of pirate napkins.

The mirror is dirty and has some veneer missing- look for a makeover in the future. For $5.15 it was worth a chance.



My pictures got out of order ???? From the Mission Thrift came this covered vegetable dish. I have been looking for a soup tureen, so this caught my eye. It is French. I love the crazing and the detail....

The lid and

the handles... I looked it up on Replacements and it sells for about $300..
Back to Goodwill - this Wedgewood platter was $2.02 (why the odd prices?)

Also from Goodwill were these vases- from Pottery Barn- very heavy. I usually don't polish silver , but, I tried the middle one and I liked it!


$2.02 milk glass bowl

I'm late this week for the party, I forgot it was Thursday....where did this week go? The Thrifty ladies are already linked up at Leigh's place!

My goodness, Swampgirl, you hit the jackpot. There is a fix for the missing veneer. I may have given you a book about furniture repair. Love the tureen. Love it all. I went to Dillard's clearance store today and got a real cute red knitted scrug. I think you could use it for one of your tank top dresses. Will send it. The mirror looks good with that old look of worn off silver. I like that. Mine is like that.
