~Thrifty Thursday~

Hello friends!

My apologies for not getting back sooner but this week has just been insanely hectic! We made it back from PA safe and sound with our new camper in tow and a boat load of prim goodies to boot! I’ll have to share about that later though because it’s Thursday and I want to share last weeks Thrift store finds today! It was a good thrifting week last week! I’m very pleased with my findings!

So lets get to it!

An overview…

0523002008a
Of course the primcats are always willing to lend a helping paw for picture taking time.
0523002009
Hmmmm… seems Chen is slightly annoyed. What, do tell, is this dog atrocity doing in our house??? lol!
0523002008d
Well Chen… it’s cool pottery... for $1.50. I’m sure we have a friend somewhere with a doggie who might be deserving of this fantastic little crock!
0523002014a
Next up… this great teal Crate for $2.50. An adorable Red rocker for $2.00 and a fantastic set of Wrought Iron utensils for $3.00. Good stuff!
0523002008b
Cant decide where this should go. In the kitchen? Or in the living room by the fireplace? Time will tell…
0523002010
An amazing Pineapple cutting board for $2.00!! I love this! I’m gonna stain it and then hang it in my entryway!
0523002013
A Le Bistro Bell™ Crock from Butter Bell for $3.00. I’ve wanted on of these for a long time! Retails at 21.95. Can’t believe the deal I got! . YAY!
0523002013b
0523002013c
A wood frame for $0.50
0523002014
A vintage electric Iron for $2.00.
0523002014c
A cute little shelf for $1.00
0523002015
A wood tissue box for $0.50 that I’ll prim with paint.
0523002016
A great little cranberry scoop for $2.00. I already have 2 others of these. Three makes a collection so I think I’ll hang them all in the bedroom. 
0523002016b
My favorite find. A huge game board for $2.00!
It has small spaces on one side…
0523002017a 
And large spaces on the other…
0523002017b
And it comes with all the chess pieces. A fun find!
0523002018a
A large wall board to hold paper or a calendar. I don’t have a place for this yet… but it was only $3.00 so I couldn’t let it go since it’s fully primed up already!
0523002022
Five great little pastry molds for $2.00.
0523002113
And lastly 2 baskets. $1.00 for left one and $2.00 for the lidded one. Super cute!
0523002113b

So there you have it. Last weeks goodies!
I can’t wait to get the dining room paint finished so I can start putting this house back in order! Going out of town last weekend to pick up the camper really messed up the schedule! We did manage to get the front yard of the property mulched Tuesday night and now we have the back half to complete. Hopefully we’ll get to that tonight or tomorrow night. Saturday we have a big Memorial ride on the Harley so the painting of the dining room is going to have to be pushed off til’ Sunday or Monday. Sometime then I also need to get the gardens planted! And then maybe I’ll be able to start decorating again! Geesh! Life has just been crazy lately! Good crazy… but crazy none the less.

Hope you all have a lovely day filled with peace and love!

Until next time…

Awesome finds!!!!! The checkerboard is a bonus with the pieces. Just make a little prim sack to hold your pieces and put a little nail to hold it at the bottom.

You got really great goodies. I wish my thrift store had good stuff like this. Was wondering what goodies you got in Lancaster. Have a happy & safe Memorial weekend.

Your dog dish is not "Roseville Pottery", but was made by the Robinson Ransbottom Pottery Company of Roseville Ohio.

Roseville Pottery was made in Zanesville Ohio. They are 2 different potteries.
