Thrifty Finds

I am enjoying our Autumn weather so much, the sun is shining and the garden is blooming and

 I had such a lucky week with my thrifting.


This beautiful hand crocheted edging on a linen doily  Lovely and crisp and white,$2.50 

 A little bit of pink for Pink Saturday
A past thrift find

Tissue box cover which included the new box of tissues $1

 Perfume bottle to add to my collection $3

 I wanted a little book shelf for beside my comfy chair,where I read or crochet in the evening.


I found this one in an auction,which I thought was just the right size. It was already painted white,so all I needed to do was clean it. 

It came in a lot with 2 other items,which I had thought were just awful.  I bid $10 for them with the intention of throwing the other two items away.

 This rusty old table

 I actually like rusty things in the garden, so kept it for now.

 and this old cupboard with the pink laminex top.  I washed it down and sanded it,as I thought ,oh well you never know it might fit somewhere out of site for storage. I hate throwing anything away.

 Well look at me now.  A bit of paint and a light sand for the shabby look, a crystal knob and its taking up little space in the sun room. It has 3 shelves and it is solid wood. 


Not bad for $10 the lot.  I think I did very nicely.

In my last post my little baby doll,was in the picture. A few friends asked what brand she was

The words Berj USA is printed on the back of her neck.

Happy week to all my lovely bloggerette friends
