Another day...Another Thrift Shop
Thursday, February 11, 2010
Yesterday, my husband and I decided to go out for lunch and visit a couple of thrift shops- the best kind of day! I found this lovely old spring botanical print- I love the muted colors on the tulip, lilac, and narcissus! I also found a beautiful old silvery footed tray with a porcelain violets insert- it has some cracks through it and I guess someone didn't want it anymore...a few cracks never bother me, just adds a little character. I bought up a bag of old trims and yarns and found these fun rick racks hidden inside- I love the "Prudence" little girl graphics! Vintage wood hangers are never passed up, especially at 20 cents each! I also love shell art souvenir pieces- a kitschy Flamingo scene, that will end up on etsy, and a decorative little box. I do love to treasure hunt...can't wait to see what I find tomorrow...
Until next time...
Linda

ReplyDeleteWow girl, you scored! That little tray is darling, and the graphic on the ric rac, oooh I love it. I would be using that in some art. Botanical is great too, they are hard to find around here. Unless you want to pay a bunch of $$. Lisa

Oooh Linda, I just have a love for old wood hangers. I found a "lot" of them at a roadside sale years ago which we use in our coat closet. They are SO much sturdier than plastic or wire. Love all your awesome finds..it's like virtual thrift store window shopping.
