There are many days when I go to a thrift store and come out empty-handed. Yesterday was the opposite. I went to a thrift store on my lunch hour and to the Salvation Army after work. It was a really good day. Look what I bought.

A vintage table cloth for $2.99. I'll probably use it on my patio table. I took this picture at 7:50 AM Saturday morning and it is so beautiful outside. I can't believe how warm it is. It feels like summer. Yesterday it was in the low 70s, I think it will be warmer today. It won't last long though, it's supposed to rain tomorrow.
I bought this pedistal for $3.99 to make a cake plate like the one Tina made Kim.
I bought this little guy for $2.99 to hold my vintage necklaces my mom has given me over the years.
Some jars for my button collection. $2.99 & $3.99This cast iron mirror with a cute bird on top. This was from the Salvation Arm and they are more expensive. It was $6.99
And, this beautiful coverd dish from Portugal. This was also from the Salvation Army. It was $9.99

Wow, what a haul! You did so good. I love thrift stores, especially in the winter when there's no garage sales to hit!!The tablecloth especially looks so nice, those are really bringing lots of money on Ebay, etc. That's a real steal!

Can't wait to see that cake plate you will make. I thought the one on Kim's site was so pretty. What an original idea!
Have fun playing house with all the new finds!

you have great thrift stores. I love the little pedastal with a plate on it.. I have one of those too !
What amazing finds and I love your little patio.
I'd say you hit the jackpot..."the million dollar look for a buck."
I'm going to write a book someday and this is the title...don't tell anyone...sssshhhh
The tablecloth and the covered dish are such finds.!!!
Oh Cindy what awesome finds! I adore the table cloth. Is the pedestal a candle holder? I would love to do something like that, I loved Kim's dish too. Can't wait to see yours.
I also meant to say. Your jars are like some I just priced yesterday at Anchor Hocking. I love this type of jar:

Great goodies. That white covered bowl is my favorite, but I'm loving thost buttons all together in the jars.

The tablecloth is lovely. It's funny that were you are the SA is more expensive. Around here it is the Goodwill that is outrageously priced!
I am so enjoying reading back thru your blog! Hey, I have that same glass cherub dish! I've had jewels spilling out of mine before two. Did yours come with the lid?
