Biscuit Jar


Haven't gotten much on the thrifty finds
We have been busy with events
however I did get this biscuit jar
at Goodwill for $3


There was a pink one 
but it didn't have a lid
I wish I had bought it now





I plan for it to sit on a shelf
in my kitchen

Outlet


I went to Goodwill Outlet
this weekend
yes there is actually a
place called Goodwill outlet
I blogged abt it here

You pay buy the pound
so I take the price 
and divide it by the items
for the cost
Each item was $1.50





the wallpaper was pieces
some were longer than others
the photo doesn't show
the true color
it has more of a gold sheen to it






I might even cover this case
with it some of my dtrs mail
still comes to the house so
I am going to put this
one the chair in the foyer
and put her mail in it




It will need a major clean up
I'm not sure how old it is



I also got this stand
it was priced for $2




I will be spray painting




We stopped at Kohl's
these plates were orginally 11.99


on sale for 3.41
and I had 15% off
so they ended up 
2.90

Vacation Finds

We stopped in this one place
Inn-tique in Milan OH


They had tons of stuff
however most was not
marked
which I personally hate
to have to ask what a price
is since I feel that they hike it up
to see if you'll bite


The pattern is

lilac time 
I found some on line 
any where from 12.99-19.99
 for the fork alone



They are engraved

11-29-59





I probably paid more for these 
glass knobs


than I should've
orginal he wanted $30 
for 6 of them 
no way was I going to pay that
so I ended up paying $20
I had not seen any of
these small of ones
and I have plans for them

The bad part was we went to
another place
called
Sights and Sounds of Edison
Milan is the home town of Thomas Edison

 

and got 2 for $2
I also got the
 architectural piece for $4



We are hoping to be 
able to use it to replace the 
part on the from of 
our house that has rotted

While on Put-in-Bay


I found a piece of material
which I didn't know
was a shower curtain
for $2


It will be perfect to recover 
some chairs


We did stop at this one antique/junk shop







they had a lot of things but 
it was so overloaded
that you really couldn't see anything


(sorry fort he quality used my phone)
















you get the idea
 I bet there were treasures but 
it was awful in there
not to mention 
most things were 
not marked
 and you know how I feel abt that!
