Thrift Store Thursday—8/27

I made it to just two thrift stores this week. That’s okay, because I’m still attempting to cut down on both the time and money I spend thrifting.

On my first stop, at a church thrift store, I found two books for the kids, and a little tray. My total was under $2.

Q. What did the bald man say when he got a comb for his birthday?

A. “Thank you very much! I’ll never part with it.”

I’ll pause for a moment while you finish laughing. Ready? Ok. On my second stop I snagged these:

The tureen is a good size and was about $5. The other I got with the intention of repurposing the round frame. I think it will look pretty, maybe in heirloom white, and without the ‘artwork’. It was about $1.50.

Under $10 for the week…I can live with that!

Time for show and tell.

Nice finds! I love thrift store shopping. I had a pretty good week at the shops this week. I was going to share but Mr. Linky is closed.

I had a tureen like that in my hands last week, and I put it back because it didn't have the serving spoon. Now I wished I would have bought it anyway! Would have made a great bowl for pumpkin soup.
