A Few Thrifty Finds This Week

Happy Friday Everyone!  I can’t believe this weather we’re having here.  Yesterday I had the air conditioner on in the house and today I have the heat on AND tomorrow they’re calling for snow showers.  It will definitely be hot cocoa weather tomorrow.

The other day I went to an Antique Marketplace and found a few things that I wanted to share with you.   I bought a cast iron kettle pot for $25.   I think I got a good deal on that.

   For now, I placed a fern in it and have it sitting by the front door.   Maybe this spring I’ll place it outside on the front porch.

Another purchase was a 1973 Vintage wrapped Chianti Wine Bottle.  What caught my eye was the wrapping around the bottle.  I don’t know where I’m going to put it yet because I running out of space but I’m sure I’ll find a place.

Gotta love Good Will!  Recently one opened up about 25 miles from me.  Since it’s opening I try and go at least once a week.   Their prices are unbelievable compared to our local thrift stores.   I purchased a few items there as well this week; a mirror for $8 and another oval picture for $5.

I love the patina on the mirror.  I’m not sure what or if I’m going to do anything with the mirror.  I kinda like it like it is.  Would you paint it or leave it like it is?

I also purchased a wooden dough bowl at the Antique Marketplace and a few other things at Goodwill but I’ll wait and show you those finds later.   I may end up going back to the Antique Marketplace this weekend because there were a few other things I really liked but didn’t get. 

Enjoy your weekend and I’ll be back on Sunday evening for Debbiedoo’s Magazine Copy Cat Challenge
