February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in. I finally purchased a new monthly focus board. We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good! My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy! My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just
I'm joining Linda at Coastal Charm again this week for another great Nifty Thrifty Tuesday. Be sure to visit her at http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com and then hop on over to the other Mr. Linky's so you can see all the goodies the other Nifty Thrifty folks got.
Found this beautiful glass piece which is very heavy at a Thrift Store for $2.99.
Another glass tea pitcher which is was so hard for me to pass up for $1.99 at the Thrift Store.
Cute butterfly basket for $1.00 at the Thrift Store.
And then I found this thingy-gingy! Is that even a word? I almost didn't get it but then it was only 50 cents! And I passed by it twice and it was one of those deals that I said, "Ok, it is still sitting there when I walk by again...for the 3rd time....I am getting it! Now isn't that just a great way to talk yourself into buying something or either talk yourself out of buying something????? But for 50 cents!!!!
Well, it was still there and it came home with me. Needless to say the ideas are really endless when using this. I have already thought how lovely a cake would look on top of it on a pretty cake plate with flowers at the bottom. Or...a nice bowl of salad sitting nestled on top. Or....or.....or.....
And you know things just ain't normal for me if I don't go by Walmart and to look on the clearance asle.....Found 6 of these plates on the clearance asle that had been marked down to $1 for each. Bought all 6! Love them.
And last but not least my gravy bowl with matching platter that matches my dishes....
My friend Paige that owns Three Palms Resale had this in her shop and as soon as I spied it, yep, just had to have it. I just posted a tablescape recently with my story on my dishes. You can see that here if you'd like http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2010/04/miss-lossies-tablescape.html

ReplyDeleteWhat great finds. Heck, I've bought dishes I don't even like at the time for that price. How can you pass them up? I'm on my way to Walmart as soon as I log off.
ReplyDeleteHey, that thingie for 50 cents shouts cake stand!!! ;)

Part of the fun of finding a deal is getting to share it with others! Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteTracey

ReplyDeleteYou really got some great stuff! You definitely had the junkin' mojo working for you. :-)

What great finds!! I would love to find those plates for $1! Thanks for stopping by:-) Love your playlist too!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. I'd want the thingy-gingy, too. I hope you'll post all the different things you do with it. I love that tea pitcher a lot, too. $2! Wow.
ReplyDeleteI have white plate and pitcher envy! ;) I'm gonna have to check my walmart's clearance aisle. Someone else posted white dish finds on clearance there...grabbing my purse and running out the door....
ReplyDeleteHow do you find so many good deals? Guess that's why you have eye for things and I don't! I am the purse hunter...and still have problems finding the REAL THING for a small amount of money. Trinity
ReplyDeleteI need that butterfly basket! Too cute Miss Cindy. Angela
