Thrift store shopping can be feast or famine.
There are definitely people who find great fun in traipsing through the aisles of a thrift store.
Some days, it's a lost cause because nothing appears appealing.
Other days, there is plenty of good quality merchandise just begging to be bought.
During a recent solo mini-trip for fun to a Goodwill Thrift Store, it was a "feast."
I will show you a few purchased items in this post and, from time to time, others because I love sharing the "loot."
Recently, I noticed our supply of wine glasses was very sparse and mismatched so when a set of four "Avignon cristal d'arques" by J.G. Durand glasses were found at Goodwill, I snagged them.
They were half-price so the set came to $3.00, not a bad price for beautiful "cristel" glasses. (That spelling of cristel is listed on the box the glasses came in.)
Another purchase was a beautiful vase that will look great filled with spring flowers.
Sometimes I give flowers as a gift for birthday or anniversary celebrations and it's nice to present flowers in a pretty container.
Okay, sweet blog peeps, until another day.
Hope you have a good rest of the week.
WHAT WAS THE LAST LOVED ITEM YOU PURCHASED AT A THRIFT STORE?

The glasses you found at Goodwill are pretty, Susan. And your vase will be so nice to put your special flowers in that you love so much. I used to browse around in Goodwill every now and then where I used to live, and like you said, it was either filled with lots of goodies at the time, or I didn't find anything appealing that day.
Have a wonderful week, Susan. Happy March days. : )

Blessings to you this first day of March! What an incredible bargain on the glasses!
The vase is exquisite and I can see it filled with lovely blooms. What a great idea to gift a floral bouquet in a vase.
Like you, I enjoy browsing thrift stores. Even if I do not find anything, I usually enjoy chatting with other thrift store lovers. Lol
Have a blessed afternoon
Susan, I think a cow and a bull are the same animal, but not sure. My neighbor said it was a cow farm, so I'm going with that haha.
love ya. : )
Ialways find something useful at Goodwill. You are always lucky!
