Yesterday was my thrifting day. I don't think there will be much offered at the stores until the weather warms up and people do spring cleaning. But I was still able to find some fun stuff. This huge basket was $1.95.
I have a pile of baskets in my basement. I just can't pass them up especially when they are sturdy and dirt cheap! I use them to carry tools or plants in my gardens.
This rooster is rather large and is in perfect condition. He was $1.29 and will be on my potting bench this spring.
I love finding these little porcelain pots of flowers to use in my garden totems. This one was 99 cents.
My daughter is hosting a fundraiser where she works and has chosen a cherry blossom theme. I found these two plates with cherry blossoms for $1.29 for the pair. She can use them to serve appetizers.
This plate for $1.49 will be turned into a cake stand.
I am always looking for porcelain birds to use in the garden totems too. This one was 29 cents.
Another porcelain flower basket in perfect shape.
And a good deal. The weird pink hand was free.
I made this totem a few days ago. Click for a better look.
You can see how I use the porcelain birds and flowers.
And this was a great find for $5.95.
A very sturdy well made drop leaf table.
You can tell that it is old by the way the sliders are made. I'm not sure if I am going to sand this and stain it, leave it as it is or paint it. Decisions, Decisions!

Happy Weekend! Don't cook too much.
That is a good looking basket, but the rooster is perfect!
I do like that table too! Long time since I saw something similar over here.
Have a great day now!

The plates are so sweet.There are so many wonderful patterns out there, and that table is a major steal!! It has age old charm.
Perhaps people have heard about your beautiful totems, and are starting to hang onto their dishes to make some for themselves. It won't be long and you won't be able to find any birds or flowers either!!
I think that some of the published flea market "experts" could, and should, take lessons from you!
