New Found Treasures, One and All

A trek to a favorite supermarket-sized thrift store, Savers, as well as  finding bargain priced treasures, turned out to be yesterday's highlights.

It's an hour away but worth the drive. Sometimes a friend accompanies me but yesterday was a solo excursion. 

It's thrilling to share the newfound  treasures with readers by joining Linda's Junkin Friday and Cindy's Show and Tell Friday!

Now needlepoint is not in the realm of possibility for me to do but I appreciate the immense amount of work that goes into this endeavor. Imagine my absolute delight when my eyes zoomed in on this exquisite pillow, shown above and to the right.

Roses, of course, make my heart flutter and pink roses to boot!  The back of the pillow is a soft pastel velvet.  The price?  $2.99.  Incredible!





A friend of mine is of Ukranian heritage. Now it's almost impossible to find anything from that country so imagine my delight upon finding this vase, made in the Ukraine. It got snatched up immediately for a mere $1.99. My girlfriend will love it!

The color scheme of our remodeled kitchen is blue and yellow with white cabinets so when I saw a trivet in those colors,  it had to be scooped up. The tile is from Mexico and has a rather zany design to it. I love it. Cost? $1.99!  Woo hoo. Isn't it cool?

Also found a very sweet little odd-shaped vase in a delicate lavender shade. I could picture a few wild violets in it or some tiny white spring flowers.  It was a little pricey at $3.99 but because it called to me, I bought it.

Isn't it fun to go treasure hunting?
