Thrift Share

Before I started my blog, which just celebrated it's two year anniversary the end of May, I shopped thrift stores for my apron collection, dish towel collection, and my vintage slip collection. I'd run in check the racks for any good finds in those specific categories and leave.

After I started my blog a whole new world of collecting opened up to me, I found the blog of Sir Thrift A Lot, who introduced me to Pyrex and pop culture memorabilia. He hosts a weekly link party titled Thriftasaurus, click over and join his fun party.

Jill from the blog A Little Bit of Everything, enthusiasm for Vera scarves has started my newest collection.

There are many blogs that have inspired and educated me on different subjects that are now a part of my daily reading routine. Bloggers thank you for taking the time to sit down and write your blogs that have touched my heart, made me laugh, taught me a skill, be it cooking, sewing, or crafting. I appreciate each and every one of you.

This weeks thrift finds were inspired by the two bloggers I mentioned earlier, Sir Thrift A Lot and Jill.



The theme for my grandsons fifth birthday party was super heroes, so of course, I purchased the Ninja Turtles lunch bags to use as party bags. They were perfect and affordable.


I couldn't resist this Portland pattern pitcher! Look at the handle and the rim of this heavy pitcher, beautiful. The look of lemonade inside the pitcher is provided by a Vera tea towel, cute, cute, cute.


Notice Vera's signature lady bug on the right lemon?


Cute graphics surround a Lemon Meringue Pie 
recipe on this Vera tea towel.


I found a few Vera scarves that caught my eye at an estate sale. I am looking forward to Valentines day when I can use the red and white heart scarf, it's my favorite one.

I'm often found at these link parties;

Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrify Tuesday

  13. Gorgeous pitcher! I bet it's nice and heavy, too.
    I love the Vera lemon tea towel. I really rarely see Vera towels or scarves; guess that's why they're so collectible. Nice finds!
