Thrifting

There are two thrift shops that I frequent - one is yucky, but I pass by on my way to a favorite shop and I always look in the window.

This soup tureen is my most recent find - not that I "need" any more soup tureens.

I now have 4 tureens and 3 are from the same thrift shop.

The Eddie Bauer pitcher hiding in the corner is another find from the "yucky" shop.

I am guaranteed to find something fun, like these little cuties, at the Assistance League charity shop.

Last week, I was about to walk out empty handed when I spotted a table with linens and a lovely set of 5 handmade napkins came home with me.

You only see 4 on the chair because the 5th is in use  - can you spot it in the guest room?

There it is on the nightstand holding my Mother's Day roses.

I absolutely love the delicate needle work on the napkins.

While I was in line to make my purchase I spotted an old enamel tea kettle with a hole in the bottom - I had a pitcher just the right size to fit inside and it's perfect for holding a flower arrangement.

My first thought was to have the kettle in the garden holding a daisy plant, but for now, it's in the living room because I'm working on a May Pinterest Challenge and this arrangement will be part of it.

With the Pinterest Challenge and my poor garden desperately needing love, there won't be any thrifting in the near future.

WIND (yes, all in caps!) and rain have kept me out of the garden so the rest of the week I will be at home playing.
