WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS VISITING IN MARCH WE SPENT ONE DAY CHECKING OUT THE THRIFT AND CHARITY STORES.
 |
| The vintage crochet cloth was brought to me by my daughter in Illinois. It came from a thrift store in southern Illinois |
The Humane Society thrift store was having a sale. Everything with a green dot and under $10.00 was $1.00 and items $10.00 or more were half price.
These were the $1.00 items I purchsed:
 |
| I already have a use for this cute little vase in a future tablescape. |
I am always looking for different and unique things in which to make fresh flower arrangements.
 |
| This cute little gravy boat is so crazed inside it can only be used for flower arrangements. Can't you see a sweet little arrangement in this? |
 |
| This is ugly in it's current state. I mean ugly!!! I will painting this. I think maybe white and antiqued. Then I think it will make a unique container. |
 |
| For $1.00 I can always find a place to use this one. |
These came from various thrift shops:
 |
| $2.00 each. The label says Waterford. I didn't know they made linens but these are lovely. |
 |
| There were only seven of these. $6.00 and extremely high quality. |
 |
| I fell in love with these at $2.00 each. They were new in a little used furniture shop. I will use these with my Desert Rose pattern. |
 |
| This metal candlestick for $2.00 will get refinished. |
I think I did pretty well. What do you think?
I am joining these gracious hostesses for their parties. Please link to them for great fun and inspiration.

I think you did GREAT! Love those little rose napkin holders...those are napkin holders, right? And what a lot of pieces you got for $1.00 each for floral arrangements! Wow! I'd say you had a field day! xxoo Diana
You made and an awesome haul!! i LOVE ALL THE YELLOWS!
I think you did VERY well! I like the little flower napkin rings and the Waterford towels. I finally had some luck thirfting. It's been a couple of months since I found anything worth showing anyone. Mostly books at GW.:)
I'm waiting to see what arrangements you make in the cute containers.

I love your haul, Ginger! What fun finds!
xo,

Hi Ginger! Yes, ma'am! I'd say you did great - I love your finds! That crocheted piece is just gorgeous! I crochet and know how long it would take to make something like this. Isn't sad to think whoever made this that no one in her family wanted it? Well, maybe they did and they passed on. The main thing is, it's found a new home now and when you get tired of it - send it to me! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi Ginger, I think you get a "WOW" from me today! Great finds and really great prices. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Vicky

I think you did great. You found some very nice things and wow the price you can't beat. Those linens are gorgeous. Great job finding treasures. Karie
You got some awesome finds! I love the rose napkin rings. Great vases and planters!
Dearest Ginger,
You're one happy lady with your treasures!
As far as the Rhododendrons, that is the scientific name. The common name is Azalea and you DO have them in your area; Savannah is full of them and it draws many a tourist to the city.
So that said, I'm not living in the north of the state but right in the Heart of GA; only one-and-a-half hour to the west of you on I-16!
Have a lovely day and find some flowers to start using your treasures.

Hi, I'm so glad to visit you back from Redo 101. Wish I could have gone thrifting with you because it's one of my very favorite things to do. You scored some fantastic finds, and I can't wait to see the "wow" factor you give them. I "followed" you. (Come back and hit my follow button if you get a chance!)
