My Thrifty Finds this Week

I found these happy little things this week at one of my favorite thrifts. The brightly woven baskets are seagrass, I think. I paid $1.00 for all four baskets. The heart cookie cutter I blogged earlier this week. It is a slice off the top of a coffee can and crimped into a heart shape. The bird cookie cutter is missing it's hadle, but still useable and sweet. They were 50¢ each. The litle row of Indian girls are made of terra cotta and painted in bright colors. They just brought a smile to my face. I paid $2.00 for them, but that is only 40¢ each. The little blue tray matches a tin that I bought at the very same thrift a week ago. It was 25¢.

I went to another thrift on Thursday and found the sweetest little pair of hand sewn white leather baby moccasins with pink beaded rosettes on the toes. They were $1.50 - the same price as the other baby shoes. Lucky price for me, not for them. I will give these to my Mom to display when they do Cherokee talks at school for the kids.

Friday I went to a ton of yard sales. I treid to be selective and didn't bring home that much. My three favorite finds are all for resell. #1 - A Royal Doulton Bunnykins child's set - cup, bowl and plate - $1.00. It was covered in black grease and dirt. I washed it and it is perfect. I love it and would like to keep it - but I will sell it. #2 - 35 old vintge felt pennants from a FREE box. There are several from Santa Claus Land, Indiana; St. Louis Cardinals from 1969; Cracker Jack 100th Anniversary and three from Disneyland. #3 - A huge old wooden rolling pin, It weighs 8 pounds and is 26" long. I have never seen a rolling pin that big! The lady owned a resturant and rolled pie dough with it. I assume it will sell. It was $1.00.

Today I was a good girl and stayed home and went through stuff making a DONATE pile and a GARAGE SALE pile. I have got to have a sale soon. I just need to price stuff - it's all gathered up. Thee is still a month or so of good saling around here.
