Thriftin' With Hill....

I'm sure she'd rather be somewhere sunny and warm!

Well, we have the sunny and it's been kinda warm,

close to 60 here in Michigan.

But, it's not Florida or Cancun or any other popular

Spring Break destination.

It's Home, with the family!

But, we spent the day together yesterday, just the

2 of us Thriftin'!

She's my thriftin' kinda girl! Vintage for her!

Well, loved for me and our Home!

We were two peas in a pod....

and we had fun!

~Hillary (DD#2) & Me~

But, unfortunately you're going to have to wait to see what
was in these bags. Okay, so you caught me, we didn't just go
to Thrift Stores....but, the others were just quick stops! Really!
And we topped it off with Sonic....

at Happy Hour of course!

Tulips and Treasures....

first, a Treasure!

I saw this last weekend at a place called

Peddler's Market.

Lucky for me it was still there today

when I stopped by. And it has a bird impression

which is perfect for me!

~Love This~

It was screaming for Tulips!

also found this cute little metal tray....
perfect for carrying drinks to the porch!



But in my opinion this is the deal of deals for the day....
from Goodwill!

My Great Buys....

both at Goodwill and Kohl's!

I was out and about yesterday and decided to stop into

a Goodwill Store I had never been in before. I was looking for

a Tupperware spaghetti holder, of all things. Do you know how hard

it is to find those things? Anyway, there on the shelf was a Tupperware

spaghetti holder just calling my name, for only a $1.99. I was sooo excited!
So I was just browsing around the area and came across this "like new"

braided rug, perfect for my porch by my swing. Cost $7.99, I thought that was

a pretty good price since brand new probably would have been around $29.99,

I'm guessing!

So I carried my finds up to the register to pay and saw a

group of Red Hat Ladies a few registers over. Just next to them I spotted

something that took me out of the line and before I knew what I was doing

I grabbed a hold of this and it was mine! You can not blame me for this, as

I know alot of you have it or have wanted to have one as well!

And for only $19.99 and it perfect condition it is a perfect addition to my

HOME!

Now for this pretty little wooden tray, I found this at Kohl's one day last week while shopping with one of my daughters. The tag said the original price was $34.99 (I personally would never have paid that much for it), but I got it for a whopping $6.99! I just love it on my porch, I think it is the perfect accent to my wicker furniture! And the best thing about all of my great finds is that my DH likes all of them....especially the prices!

I Went Thrifting....

and I had soooo much Fun!

Remember my little blue birdhouse waiting for a bluebird?

Well, she arrived today and she is checking out her new home!

I also found this really cute wooden, sort of, booklet

and when you open it up....

it has this adorable saying and Easter basket.
I paid $2.00!!!!


I also found this antique postcard hanging surrounded with
antiqued tin in a sagey green....also $2.00!!!!


I wanted something different to try and force a bulb to bloom for my kitchen and I found this.... for a $1.50!!!! It says it is from West Germany!

THEN....I came upon a tote full of those letters you would see,
say on a sign somewhere that can be changed. So, I took the liberty of going thru them and picking out what I wanted and hoping they would sell me just a few. They did.....for $2.00, I have a few ideas for these when I decide which to do I will show you. It was fun just to be able to take my time and roam thru this 3 story building.

Usually, I am with somebody and I feel more rushed....not today!
