thrifting for treasures



I've got the itch!


And I can't help it!


I want to go to yard sales


and thrift stores.


I like to find


vintage lovelies.


It makes my day!


Take a look
at my new found treasures!


I love vintage kitchen canisters.
These were a steal at only 99 cents a piece!


They are made of spun aluminum.


It makes me happy to see something
that was made in the USA.



I swear...these two are the NOSIEST ladies in the yard
I can't take ONE picture
without them coming around
to see if what I have resembles food in any way shape or form!


Sheez!


But that's ok
cause, I like 'em!


Here is my next
loverly
little
found treasure!


Imitation milk glass

$3.49

It doesn't have to be real milk glass
to make me happy.

I can't wait to use this for my Memorial Day picnic.
It will be on my dessert table
displaying some kind of sweet little pretties!


And finally

my find of the day...

this vintage sleeping bag...

it no longer zips...
but I don't care...

I will be using it
to snuggle up with
at the drive-in theater
this summer.


It is made of cotton
and has the feel
of being washed
a million times.
It is sooooo soft!


I paid $6.00 for it
and I have a feeling
we are going to be life long friends!



I also have a feeling that
if either of my nieces
Brittany or Ashley visits,
I will have to keep a close eye on it...
for fear of them
stowing it away in their suitcase!

The End!

  3. Love the chickens, they remind me of our housedcat. She is the same way - always nosing around for food.
