Thrifty Thursday, #16

Welcome to my blog, where every Thursday I give my readers a peek into my thrifting addiction.

It's yard sale season and I've been out and about looking for deals on the things I consider to be treasures.  Which, as you'll soon find out, is a WHOLE lot of things!

This week's treasures were found over the last 3 weeks.  All of these items were found at garage sales around my hometown.

Here's this week's treasures:

I love this darling Hazel Atlas iced tea decanter.  I picked it up at a yard sale in Niles, MI for just $2.00.  I thought it was a pretty good price.

The pattern fits right in with my style and I can't wait to use it.  It's all washed, sterilized and ready for tea!

There's something special about blown glass.  Whenever I see anything made of blown glass, I'm drawn to it.  Much like everything that I love to collect.  I have several of these, in cobalt blue, in an assortment of sizes.

By now you all know that I'm a fan of cat figurines.  I have a whole collection that I plan to share when I start my series of "collections" posts.  This happy little green eyed kitty has a lot of character, don't you think?

I loved this pretty cobalt blue kitty cat, too.  He has a sweet face and I love the crockery look he has.

I'm not really sure what this is, but I think it is a trinket box.  I thought it was cute for just .50 cents.  The mouse and daisy are a lid and it is the tiniest little trinket box I've ever seen.  I have no idea what to put in it.  But it's darling.

Back in my Thrifty Thursday, #13 post, I shared a set of cast iron Amish children riding in a little red wagon.

At a neighborhood garage sale, I found their parents; and good thing too!  They're awfully small to be riding around in a wagon, to strange people's houses, all by themselves.

This happy couple is also cast iron and I only paid $1.00 for the pair.

They've had a nice family reunion in my kitchen.

I always seem to have to buy something wooden.  I loved these wooden scissors and since the pair I used to have were broken I was very pleased to replace them with this set.

I really like that they open and close, but of course they don't really cut anything.

I really like aprons!  This one was .50 cents and it fits my large frame.  It is a pull over your head type, with ties on each side.  It's really, really comfortable.

Finally, a second apron.  This one made me think of the movie The Wilderness Family.  In that movie the wife/mother wears a patchwork skirt that is similar to this apron.  It was also .50 cents and like the other one, fits me!  Though it is a little long.

Well, that does it for this week's Thrifty Thursday post!
