Thrifting & Shopping

Daughter and I had a great time hitting a couple of thrift shops and decor stores last week! And managed to go out for lunch afterwards!! This is going to be a long post....so hope you hang around to the end!   

One thing we both took note of was the lack of stock in the thrift shops!  Or maybe there was just nothing that struck our fancy....as we didn't purchase a great deal at them....but will share a few items that caught my eye.  I thought these little dishes were adorable....microwave safe....

And this enamel colander was super cute!   Neither of us had need for one....but agreed it would be useful....and cute....

A whole bin of decorator cushions....this one caught my eye!  I don't purchase them from thrift stores though....too afraid of bed bugs....or critters of other unknown origins...

After hitting up the thrift shops.....we stopped into Buy Rite , a discount store.  Where there is just about anything you can think of.....from treadmills to furniture to housewares!   Boxes of dishware to no end!

And as much as I loved these mugs - $79.99 was a bit!!  Even if they are Le Creuset!  This is supposedly a discount store.   Not. 

We weren't too impressed with Buy Rite....other than their Valentine items were 50% off & daughter was able to pick up adorable paper plates & napkins for grand daughter's upcoming birthday!

Next we continued on to Inspired Living!  We both love this store...it's not a huge store...space is limited...and it is crammed full to the ceiling!! The green chairs....oh I've been eyeing them use them at each end of our farmhouse table!!  Do we need them?  No?  Do we have room for them?  Probably not.   But oh....I love them!!  And I'd only need two.    *sigh*

Bunnies overload....

More bunnies....apparently with sight restrictions....

Beautiful cushions and decor displayed throughout the store!

Now....I was crushing hard on these!  The ceramic applies were available in pink as well...but I love the teal!  Keep an eye...they just might show up again later in the post!!

I may have to go back & get this sign!!  It was way up high....and staff were busy preparing for a rug sale...and it would have taken a bit of juggling to get it down.....I had to zoom in on it as it was!   But I think I need it..."Kitchen Closed - This Heifer Has Had It".....says it all....

And I might have to re-arrange my dish cabinet to fit in this adorable tea pot!  I'm crushing hard on it....

Next we decided to give Winners a whirl...I wanted to check out the table runners...not really wanting an Easter theme...but these are so cute!!

I did check out the candle section....and oh they smell amazing!   I use two gift cards from Bath & Body Works and just placed an order for some great smelling candles!!  Otherwise I would have been temped to grab these two!!

Okay....have you ever seen chairs like this?  The fronts look perfectly normal!

Ingenious to place handles on the backs!   Not sure I'm a fan.   They are different for certain...

Are you still with me?  I hope you are not getting bored!  Still a bit of goodness to get through!!

Look at these lovely bath towels!  I just think they are so pretty!

And carrots everywhere!!  This wreath would be adorable on the front door!!  If Easter was a longer season...I'd be tempted to decorate more....

While browsing for a table runner....I came across these place mats..and they immediately went into my cart!  Change of plans!!

As did this gorgeous, unusual cushion!  I took some teasing from Mr. Seventies...and he thought we were getting "low" on decorator cushions!  But when you have gift cards and you see things you fall for....they tend to end up coming home....

At the time....I forgot I needed a lamp for the small bedroom....and left without this beauty!  I hope it's still there when I go back....it's coming home with me for sure!!

And these unique candles had such amazing scents!  Loved them!!

My purchases included the place mats which look awesome in the kitchen....I'm on the hunt for a new centre piece....

The gorgeous cushion for our buffalo plaid chair....

And....I couldn't resist the wooden heart shaped bowl and ceramic applies!!  

If you're still with me....thanks so much for hanging out with me today!  It feels like forever since I've been able to get out and about....I am feeling better.  Not 100%...we are sticking pretty close to home these days.   While people are going to various southern, warmer destinations...that isn't in the cards for us.....and we're okay with that.  

I'll be sharing over at Between Naps on the Porch later today for Metamorphosis Monday

I hope you stop over and check out some amazing bloggers!   Have an awesome day....until next time...
