Thrift Thursday

We had a Family Fun Day yesterday. We visited a museum, went to the most heavenly smelling place I have ever visited - a bakery home to a cake decorator we saw featured on The Food Network, stopped at a thrift store that I have been going to for about 25 years (!), ate at our beloved Taco Tico (!!) and fed a pack of starving (or so they thought) geese at the park. My photos are being put on a disc, so I will share our day with you this weekend.

Until then, here are my thrifty finds from yesterday:

I love the heart shaped pockets on this apron. It's quite sweet. I think it will be gifted along the way to a certain someone. The thrift had recently implemented a new pricing system using the plastic tags that you normally attach a paper tag to - the plastic tags are colored and each color is a different price. The Super Cheap Thrift uses this pricing method too, but the colors were all different at this thrift. White tags were $1.00 and clear tags were $7.00 and I couldn't tell if the tags on these aprons were white or clear, so I asked and found they were white - so they were $1.00. (I wouldn't have paid $7.00, but I am guessing you already knew that). I left a few in the back, and now I am wishing I would have bought all of them.

Another sweet apron for $1.00. These are old fabrics and they are stain-free and in great condition. I'll probably gift this one too or add it to a swap along the way.

This 1957 Better Homes and Garden Book was $1.00. It is from 1957. I have the Decorating Book already, so I will list them this Fall. (Really, I will, I promise!)

And, lastly, the thing I felt "calling" to me at the thrift. I told the boys there was white pottery waiting for me in there, I just had to find it. And, I did. I found the first one, then a few shelves down, I found it's mate. And, they were only 25¢ each. These do have a slight gloss to the glaze, and I really prefer the matte finish. But, when you see white pottery and it is calling to you, you have to grab it! Some people prefer the gloss, so I might round up all my glossy pieces and sell them someday. Or, I might not. That's my prerogative!
