Three Things

Three things that are making me smile today:

Finally deciding on a project to do to use up the leftover yarn from my Garden Patch Granny Afghan. It is not a huge project, but is bigger than the little critters I have been working on lately. I am really excited about it...more details to come.

A few thrift store finds. Look at this huge green glass! Bridget says it looks like a giant's wine glass - which would not be such a bad thing at all, now would it?

And this eggplant sugar bowl. I need another sugar bowl like a hole in the head, but for only $1.50 this was too cute to pass up. Plus, it reminds me of the Fraggles.

And finally, candles. Nothing makes me feel cozier than lighting a candle on a cold winter night.

What is making you smile today?

Thrift Shop Deals

Hot on the heels of my success at the scrapbooking garage sale I headed out to one of my favorite thrift stores this weekend for a browse.

A browse that quickly became a successful little outing.

I am always on the lookout for children's books. I found these 10 books, all in new condition, for only $0.35 each.  Can't beat that!

I am going to wrap them up as Christmas gifts for my girls.  

I also found two of these white serving bowls for only $1.95 each.

Serving food to my family out of the pot is one thing, but when I have guests I like to take it up a notch. I have been collecting random serving bowls like this from thrift shops for years.

And finally this adorable breakfast set.

I  absolutely love polka dots and am trying to incorporate red into my kitchen decor so this was perfect. And it was only $0.65 for all three pieces, need I say more.

What about you, find any good deals lately?  I am on a roll!
