I found two small wood bowls...

I love bowls that are bleached out with age. At 25 cents each...yes, they are going home with me!

I found the plaid flannel runner in the Christmas clearance at Hobby Lobby...without realizing it was the same pattern as the wallpaper I found thrifting a while back, and had put on my hutch backing!

The bread board below was another fun find.
I love the painted edge, and the wood tone.

And finally...something I have been on the hunt for FOREVER...
and have never found in a thrift store.  Until now.
I found an old English marmalade jar!  This one dates from 1873-1898 and is in beautiful condition. I know when I spotted it, my mouth dropped open. 
I was there in a flash to see what the price was...$3.00. 
I know you know that feeling!

  3. How my gosh... you really had me at the vintage marmalade jar! I have been looking myself for YEARS and have never found one. Took me 5 years to find a vintage 'potted meat' ironstone jar from England so I guess maybe in another 5 years I might find a marmalade jar, lol.

    1. I never see them either...I have one my daughter found 10 years ago at a garage sale, and gave to me. That was nice...you just don't run into them very often!

  5. Wow Linda,

    You scored big time thrifting. I would've been so excited seeing the marmalade jar. I would have been giddy then to find out the cost was $3.

    Love the other crock and sweet angel how cut is that?
