Thrifty Purchases



One of the joys of thrift store and yard sale shopping is never knowing what treasures may be found.

At one recent yard sale, in a package of decorative party food "toothpicks," came sweet little clowns in different colored outfits.

It was a given that the grands would fall in love with these charmers. They did, and so did Grammie.


Another wowser purchase were the amber glass dishes.

They are so pretty and perfect for fall.


They were found in a Goodwill thrift store for the hefty price of 35 cents each!  Yippah.


Recently, while hosting houseguests, both new purchases were used.



The picks came in handy on the fruit tray!

WHAT WAS YOUR LAST FUN PURCHASE?

I have given a bunch of 'junk' to the Goodwill. Then a friend buys it and it will look so cute in her house. I don't have the knack for knick knacks. :(

My last purchase was at Plimouth Plantation and I got some little gifties for my grandchildren there.

Everything looks great!! My last purchase was a set of salt and pepper shakers I saw on Instagram. In one of the patterns I collect! Have a great weekend. Kit 😊
