Friday's Find: Pyrex For My Stocking!

"Twas five nights before Christmas, when all through the house, 

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; 

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that Vintage goodies soon would be there;

The blogger was nestled all snug in her bed,

 While visions of turquoise Pyrex danced in her head..."

Okay, so maybe I took a few liberties with the classic poem, but I am a tad excited about today's finds!  I rarely find turquoise Pyrex but today it seemed to be finding me! Merry Christmas, Self! With holiday preparations, I haven't been to any estate sales for awhile. Turns out I have missed them--look what I found at one today!  This Butterprint refrigerator dish from the 50s is in excellent condition and was a great bargain.  I absolutely adore these little fridgies and I really do use them.

Friday's Find: Denim Button Down!

Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! I have always had a penchant for denim, especially this time of year when we anticipate, or here in the South, at least hope for cooler weather. A versatile denim button down has been on my list all summer.  Since I am short, and not long waisted, I needed something semi-fitted.  I even tried on a few at the mall but didn't like any enough to pay close to $30.  I just wasn't able to find the one I pictured in my mind...until today!

Friday's Find: Shopping My Way Across Hwy 98

Hi Friends! When we were driving from the Florida airport earlier this week, my thrift store radar immediately started sounding off--I noticed several just on our way in, all on Highway 98! I'll confess as peaceful as my afternoons relaxing on the beach have been, my mind has wandered and my curiuosity peaked wondering what kind of bargains might be lurking here in another state.... I know, I know, and now you know just how accurate my blog name is!

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share my vacation thrift stops in photos. Keep in mind, these are all on Highway 98 between Watercolor/Santa Rosa and Destin. If you want to get your thrift on in another state or city, The Thrift Shopper will locate nearby stores when you plug in your current zip--genius!

This store was on Lynn street right off the highway. It had a little bit of everything including a large warehouse with furniture at bottom dollar prices and posted daily specials--great place to find bargain pieces to re-create.

August Show and Tell

Greetings Friends! It's Show and Tell--my chance to brag on your divine finds!

Stacy bought this 5 piece custom made sectional set from an estate sale.  It looks brand new and is still wrapped in plastic awaiting the completion of their new home.  Like any diligent thrifter she decided to research the brand name and found out she saved thousands, yes, I said THOUSANDS of dollars! Cha-ching! This is how to shop for furniture people!
