Some Thrifted treasures.....

 Last Friday running errands and grocery shopping
I hit our few local thrift stores....
and found some more milk glass to add to my collection.
the vase is a very unusual pattern and quite heavy.
 This was the prize I thought, how sweet is this and it works
although I think it should be re-wired as its wiring is not up to code
shall we say....
 This lovely afghan that George has set claim to....
 My new sugar scoop...
 Loved this tray, I see a tea party coming up....
 I fell in love with this little cloth and tea cup.....
 This little vintage garbage can fits
perfectly in Mimi's room.

 I found this little water color for my wall....
 Its such a nice pop of color....
 I couldn't grab this little cutie fast enough....
isn't she adorable... 
last but not least this 
mirror,which fit just perfect in Mimi's room.

grand total $22 for my treasures.....

Can't wait to hop over and catch up with you....

    Beautiful treasures, as always. Do you know I have the same blue and white striped ceramic handles on my kitchen dresser as are on your little blue chest of drawers - we could be sisters!My friend Betty over at Betty The Wood Fairy has just painted some of those delightful irises - pop over and have a look. Have a great weekend, Heidi.xxx

    The Raggedy Anne is adorable! And that is the cutest daisy napkin! I love using cups as scoops! My mom always did that too. Wonderful little striped crochet afghan too! George obviously knows the good stuff when he see it! :-)

    Wow! Really all is for 22$? I can't believe it!
    We have some "marche aux puches", but all is very very expensive!
    I love George on his new afghan, and your new tray, of course!
    Hugs,
    Laura

    Wow, I want to go thrifting with you! Everything is great but that cup with the little blue flowers caught my eye, I would love an entire set! It looks like it might be from an earlier line of Corelle dishware or perhaps an Anchor Hocking line. - Love when you share your treasures. xo

    LOL! I love the horse, it´s a swedish Dala häst!
    My mother has several because I grew up close to where they were mad. My best friend even painted horses to make money while studying :-) I tried to paint one... lets say it was not something for me. Have a great day!
