Thrift Share Monday

I almost missed posting today, but how could I pass up bragging....er I mean sharing my wonderful finds!  This weekend was a beautiful day for hitting the sales.  Me and the honey decided to focus mainly on yard and garage sales.  While I LOVE estate sales, sometimes I don't feel like I can get the "good" stuff since I am unable to go on a Thursday or Friday.  Does anyone agree?

We had a nice relaxed pace, got breakfast and coffee from the bakery around the corner (Spinach & Feta Quiche.  Yum!) and we were off!  Since I am ALL about the mid century some of the places we try to hit are in older neighborhoods from the period.  First thing I found was this pole lamp for ten bucks!  The chrome on it is in great condition, the shades are made of cork and linen.  Isn't is awesome, it satisfied my inner lamp freak...for now.

Then the next place had some great dishes.  I bought a set of three pyrex teal pinstripe tea cups with saucers, and a set of 6 Dansk BLT plates with matching bowls.  Major score!

 

PYREX LOVE

So all in all a great day.  I can't wait until next weekend to do it all again!  Of course next weekend we will be in Savannah.  Thrifting road trip!  Does anyone know any good thrift stores there?

Thrift Share Monday

I ALWAYS thrift during the weekend, but this weekend I didn’t.

WHAT?!?

I know I know…For some unknown reason, I had this huge burst of energy and decided to get a bunch of stuff the done around the house. I was so motivated that I made a list and I love making lists, seriously I could make lists about making lists. The manual process of writing things down, accomplishing them and scratching them off can be like crack to me. What can I say, I’m weird.

BUT! All is not lost, I have some thrifting finds I picked up earlier in the week. Having the best thrift store in town about 4 minutes from work is dangerous. Oh yes, lunch time is thrift time.
