Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Okay, admit it--did you say or think, "Awww!" when you saw this mother dog and her pups nestled in their tiny basket bed? Look at those faces!
Hello! Oh. My. Thrifty-Goodness! Looky what I found last weekend at a neighborhood yard sale just sitting on a driveway waiting for me! I should mention that this neighborhood sale was getting some serious traffic. Cars were lined up and down the street. As I got out of my car I spotted these beauties and noticed several people walking up beside me. I hustled on over and bent down to look at the price--then I did a double take--Samsonite and $4!! I honestly thought I might have missed seeing the zero next to that four! I rushed over to the sweet elderly couple hosting the sale. I told them that I wanted the luggage and the gentleman told me that it belonged to the family that raised him. Aww....I just love that! Great story and best luggage find ever!
Hello Friends! Today's fabulous find is this heavenly Vintage mixing bowl I found in mint condition! I actually own the stand mixer for it and though I have similar mixing bowls also manufactured by Sunbeam Glasbake in the 50s, I have never come across this rare robin's egg shade before. Imagine my delight when I saw it waiting for me at my favorite thrift haunt!

I adore decorating and gardening but as a single parent have always needed to do both on a budget. Thrifting-- my all inclusive verb for shopping resale shops, thrift stores, estate and yard sales is not just my hobby but rather a lifestyle. It supports my habit of collecting Vintage dishes and Pyrex and over the years has proven invaluable for decorating and re-decorating. I am passionate about transforming and repurposing cast away furniture and love furnishing my home with pieces that have their own history. It has saved me more pennies than I can count and is the perfect solution to almost any dilemma. Your child comes home from school and informs you that he must dress like his favorite super hero TOMORROW? Your daughter can only wear modest knee length skirts to respect the local culture on her upcoming mission trip? Volunteer to host the next ladies event but then realize you don't own enough matching glasses? The answer to these questions and so many more: THRIFTING! Last, but certainly not least--thrifting is all about re-cycling, re-imagining and re-creating; the best way to shop green!
