Thrift Store Finds

 

Here are the small treasures that I found at the thrift store.  The cream and sugar set caught my eye. I thought that although the design is roses they look very autumnal to me. In fact at first I thought those were pine cones.

This pretty coral watering can will be put outside in Spring. Maybe I can find spray paint in that exact colour and paint a few flower pots to match.


The minute I saw this bedspread I liked the old fashioned look of the fabric. Also the scalloped edge.
I plan to use it on the porch swing as an alternative to the red/pink one I have there now.  I even like the backing.


 


Last of all is this apron which is hand made and I don't think it has ever been used. I like the colour and I'm fond of rickrack too. Can you believe it was a dollar?



 

teacup # 13 is nothing fancy but the delicate pink flowers make it special.


 Thanks for visiting,  GM

  2. A fine collection of daily gems! I also love these autumnal roses on the two pots. The blanket is so nice! The pink coral watering is special - - a good idea to make the same colour on some pots for flowers. I cannot believe, that the handmade apron is just one dollar!!

  4. You had some great finds at the thrift store. I'm heading to Goodwill in an hour or so to see if I can find one or two 9x13 pans and a small basket. Mine were given away before the great move and I find myself needing more than one pan now that I'm cooking for family again. I made a huge batch of enchilada's on Tuesday and had to put them in all kinds of pans to bake because I only had one 9x13.
    Love your sugar & creamer. In fact I love everything you found. I wear an apron whenever I cook because I am messy. I can't believe someone put so much work into yours and then never wore it.
    Have a lovely Thursday.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  5. Your thrift store had some true treasures in it! Ours, not so much. I love all of the items you found. And I agree, the color of those roses says "autumn." What pretty pink blooms on your teacup!

  6. I like everything you bought at the thrift store. I've been wearing aprons when I cook to save my clothes from spatters, but usually they are full ones.
    The coverlet will be a great option for your porch.
