AND I had a good reason to be going--I was looking for some wooden candle sconces to re-do for a display I am doing at church.
Not bad for $2.50/pair. I'm going to be doing these in an antique silver.
And since I was already in the thrift store...well I just HAD to look around.!! I'm always on the hunt for skirts or pants in 100% wool for my rug hooking stash. After a long drought this winter---the wool has been showing up!!! The thrift store also had all winter pants and skirts 50% off--so I was able to get them for $2-$3 each.
I found 3 different shades of teal wool today!!! Here are 2 of them. The brown/creme check will over-dye really nicely, I think.
Another of the teal wool. The bottom skirt is a nice plaid in many shade of olive green. The light plaid is another that will be good for over-dying. The red plaid is a pendleton pleated skirt-lot's a good fabric in that!! It still had it's $138 tag on it!!!
Forest green, gorgeous chocolate brown, light grey plaid, taupe and charcoal grey wool. I need to reorganize my stash since I've scored so much wool recently.
Picked up this gorgeous cut milk glass creamer.
An adorable puppy planter for the collection.
Got these darling plates for $1.50 each--still had the $14.99 tags on the back. They are meant to hang on the wall. I have no idea WHERE I'm going to put them but they were too cute to leave, if you know what I mean. And if you're a thrift store/yard sale junkie like me, you KNOW what I mean!!!
Close up of the strawberries--they look REAL!!
Another close-up!
I put away all of the snowmen and winter stuff yesterday because I was SICK of looking at it!! I put out my St. Patricks Day stuff and some of my spring stuff. I'll hold off on the bunnies and Easter until later this month. Everything seems fresher now!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!
