More Thrift Shopping


 I actually went to thrift stores two days in a row.  It's that time of year when there isn't much else to do.  Of course, I could be cleaning and reorganizing for Spring but there is still plenty of time to do that, right?  Thrift shopping is much more fun!  I might have enough baskets now.

 And believe me, this is not even half of them.  Organizing all of these is one of my Spring projects. I didn't pay more than 2.00 for any of these.

 I found this cute little German bunny for 99 cents.  It looks like it sat on someones shelf for a long time.

 Windel is the maker.

On the second day, I found his match.  This one was 1.99 but I'm not complaining.





Willie says, oh no... more thrift shopping.  Why don't you go treat shopping?

 I bought a bag of silverware for 8.00.


 Some of these pieces are really cheap and some are Italian silver plate.

 But there were a couple decent pieces that I can use and they cleaned up nicely.  For 8.00, if I find one piece that is decent and I can use it, it's worthwhile.  With as much entertaining as I do, I always need serving pieces.




A good buy.  I'll show the rest of what I got tomorrow.



The W's were unimpressed by it all.

i use baskets when i entertain to hold bread and rolls and plates and utensils. they are great to use outside in the summer as well as inside. i also give them to friends with food in them. i use them a lot!

Of course, the puppies were not impressed. They got none of the attention that your great thrift shopping got. Poor little babies. So unloved. So dejected. BWAAHaahahahahaahahahahaaa!
Really, I wish I had the luck that you have when it comes to finding these things. I also shop at the thrift store but many of the prices are just ridiculously high. I wanted to buy some baskets and they were $6 to $10. I'm wondering if they were made with gold.
You are the Queen of Baskets! I laughed at your comment on my post about the Mumbai Escorts. Gawd yes, those annoying spam messages seem to hit everyone! I delete them as soon as I can.

Lots of nice baskets there, hard to find and usually expensive over here.

One can never have too much silverware to be honest.

Have a great day!
