Call me cheap

5/06/2008

Go ahead I wont mind. While I would prefer thrifty, cheap is a close second. So this pile of "loot" is from my last two visits to the thrift store. Actually there is more but some of it has already been put away or hung up for visitors to see.


While I love all of the things I found (duh otherwise I wouldnt have bought it!) some are better finds for me than others. Firstly the little people house.... I have been wanting a whole collection of these Leila for about a year and at $3 I couldnt pass it up, seriously they are insanely costly on e-Bay! Leila obviously from the photo above is in love with that dish. I am not really sure what I am suppose to use it for but I have a smaller version in pink and felt it needed a friend to sit with on my counter. $1 well spent.
And the patterns, I have too many WAY too many but they are ridiculously cheap so I am stashing up to one day open up a store I think. Plus I just like looking at them, is that wrong? I didnt think so either!

Happy thrifting!

I go to the thrift store weekly, if I could I would go daily but I have learned if you go there everyday there seems to be less great "finds". I have a disease I know but I am ok with it (its a cheap one at that!) Here are a few of my latest favorites.


I have been wanting a butter dish for awhile but I didnt want your run of the mill, in enters a straight out of the 70's butter dish (yea!)


Not sure what this dish's original purpose was but now it has become a sugar dish. Isnt it pretty?

I love this watercolor print. I am creating a little sitting corner in our kitchen and this pulls everything together. Love it!

And finally the one thing I didnt think I would find, which just proves the more you wish for something you will get it. I bought this doll for Leila. I had been looking for an older doll for her that at least looked Asian. Also I was looking for a doll that was plastic but LOOKED like porcelain. In enters this oh so sad looking doll. She needs her lips repainted and maybe some new hair but her clothes look handmade (not vintage though) and I cant wait to make a whole new wardrobe for her. Leila already totes her around everywhere so I am thrilled.
