Fabulous Friday thrift finds


Today was a great day!

We (as in me and my boys) woke up early, 

had some breakfast, and then went off

 to pick up my friend Jocelyn to go for a bit-o-thrifting!!


I am in love with this sweet porcelain 

flower frog & bowl set I found for just 99 cents!



I also found a wooden mantel clock,

 the coolest old curtains 

(made out of what feels like bark cloth)

and an old wooden doll crib

(which will definitely get a new paint job)

that I see holding a collection of old quilts to display, 

or maybe flowers, 

or.....




an adorable cat??





I also picked up a few lace doilies

and this towel holder which has 3 removable

dowels so you can hang lots of pretties to display.




I have so many ideas 

whizzing around in my head as 

I am thinking of holding an antique/barn sale 

here at the farm next spring.


Now I just need to get working on this stuff! 

Mind you...that's what our long

 Alberta winter will be good for as 

I tackle all the projects waiting out in my barn!!


Blessings!
Karen

  1. I need to find a flower frog so I can display some of my garden blossoms in the house; those that don't go in the rose bowl or a vase...
