I finally was able to drop into one of the thrift stores here....I'm hoping to visit a different one this week..although it's looking like another busy one ......
I picked up this cute painted wooden tray....to set on the kitchen table....it matches a table runner & even the kitchen valances....and under $5!
There were a number of pretty vases & pitchers.....I'm obsessed with these pottery pieces.....this one has a rough exterior texture....
This pottery pitcher was not tall....but absolutely beautiful.....
A pretty little vase for summer bouquets...
There seems to be an abundance of these pitchers available....I usually see one or two with every visit....I currently have 3 or 4 in various colours....
This pretty glass dish would be perfect on a bathroom vanity holding decorative soaps....I happen to mention that to another shopper....and she quickly put it in her cart! She thought my idea was brilliant. What can I say?
A great dog bowl....but too big for Liesel...I could have used it for a water dish....but really don't need an additional one. These are very expensive in the pet stores here....
I could see this piece being part of a kitchen table scape....it would be awesome to decorate a Hallowe'en themed table. There's a reason why I wouldn't have it in my home though.....bonus points if anyone knows why....
My cabinet is too full to hold more pieces....this cute little canister could be used to store anything....
A good price on this barn star....they are still popular here....I see them hung inside and outside of homes...
This large decoupaged wall hanging was waaaay over priced!
The only thing I purchased was the wooden tray....I'm not alone in noticing the high prices being charged in the thrift shops! This particular one is a "for profit" shop....the other one I frequent is not & mainly run by volunteers.....
We woke up to a little dusting of snow....the temperatures are cooling down. We had two days of high north winds & it has been very chilly! Warm jackets, hat & mitts kind of chilly!
A friend and I hope to spend an afternoon in Summerside.....get a start on some Christmas shopping...& attend this shopping event. The craft sales are gearing up....there's quite a few next weekend!
We decorated Hallowe'en cookies & built the chocolate bar haunted house with grand daughter yesterday afternoon & despite the chilly weather spent a bit of time at a local park nearby! She had a great time....enjoyed home made pizza & her mother reported she was tucked into bed & asleep in less than three minutes!! So were her grandparents!!
I hope you take a bit of your time & enjoy catching up with some amazing bloggers! As always, thank you so much for spending time with me!
Til next time.....
Sounds like a fun day of thrift shopping.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne! It's always fun to do a bit of thrifting...
DeleteHi Charlotte! Lots of goodies in the thrift shop and your tray is darling. I don't know why you wouldn't have that other piece in your home (I'm not sure exactly what it is, to be honest) - do tell! We've already had snow here last Monday, but it's gone now and the weekend temps were in the high teens and now it's chilly again. Talk about being all over the place. I'm hoping that it won't get any colder for the trick or treaters on Thursday. Have an awesome week my friend!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim!! The piece I mentioned - is the witch. Not so much the witch...but the symbol painted on the front. Or that is what is appears to be...have an awesome week my friend!
DeleteI tried googling the sign with no luck so I still don't know what it is lol.
ReplyDeleteGoogle Pentagram....that may help.
