My daughter and I discovered thrift stores when we did costumes and props for a community theatre play. Now it's a fun outing on the rare days we don't buy anything.
You did great!

Ahhh, gone are the days when I can find anything worthwhile in the thrift stores around here.
Gawd, I remember those huge amber-coloured brandy snifter vases! We thought they were soooooo sophisticated to set on a coffee table.
More great finds. You are a thrifting goddess! Love that wood carving for your living room I've never seen anything like it :-)

HELLO!! I'm so sorry I've not been able to visit your blog lately (or anyones really) and I've enjoyed my visit. I had to grin at your last post about butter--I cooked a turkey breast in the crockpot last night and the only thing you put on it is a stick of butter--Delicious! :-)))

I hope you have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!!
Your a great shopper lady! Cool basket for crap (doggie stuff)
Happy Thanksgiving
love

Great buys! I've never owned a chinois, but that was a common piece of equipment in my mother's and grandmother's kitchen. They were the queens of jellymaking.

I also love your dog posts. Both my kiddos are shelter rescues. I'll have to post a picture of them!
