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.

i love that tray!
the tray is very nice. I can also see some potential in the round frame.
That frame will be awesome! Can't wait to see it. Thanks for the chance to share thrifty finds.

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.
