I really should just take a different way home that doesn’t go by the thrift store.
I guess maybe I am just waiting to see if it talks to me when I drive by
and so I go that way… but it always seems to talk to me so I should know better.
and so I go that way… but it always seems to talk to me so I should know better.
The other day when I drove by I had no idea that it was half price day … really, I didn’t.
But when I saw that glaring bright red and orange
‘Everything 50% off Today‘ sign-
you know I had to stop and take a peek to see what might be waiting
at a bargain price.
They had the usual stuff
really nothing too exciting and I almost left without buying anything
but then I wandered into a jumbled mess of an aisle
where I found a couple little treasures like a set of vintage silver goblets
and these little cuties.
These are tiny- like the size of a spice jar
&
I love their vintage colored glass and starburst pattern
I have no idea if they are vintage or just vintage inspired-
but at half price~ I liked them.
I instantly thought how perfect they would be for holding a
couple little blooms on a tiny shelf or on a silver tray on the ottoman
This $3.00 bouquet of mixed flowers goes perfectly with their pretty green color
and makes me think of Spring.
You could use just one little jar by itself
or the pair together
or even grouped with another bouquet on the sideboard~
just perfect for a little touch of Spring on a rainy day
I also found found a darling little treasure that is perfectly shabby and delightful
It needs a bit of work and a re-purpose due to damage but it has the most amazing finish and details.
You can see a sneak peek of it’s creamy pale pink color in a couple of these photos
I’ll share more about it when I get it fixed up
🙂
Happy Wednesday!

I love purple with aqua…love these photos. Those little jars remind me of Hoosier jars. It all looks pretty. I'm anxious see the "pink something". Take care and have a good week. 🙂

Soooo sweet, Courtney! Sometimes I think it's even more fun to find those tiny little treasures instead of the larger ones. 🙂 Your vignettes (as usual) are just beautiful — like a breath of fresh spring air! 🙂 Can hardly wait to see more of that sweet pink treasure….! 🙂

Sweet! I've recently moved and haven't had time to find any thrift stores…yet! If thrifting isn't good enough… 1/2 price sale…it doesn't get any better, other than finding some beautiful treasures!
