Nifty thrifting!

I found an awesome hand embroidered table runner thrifting this week.  And not only that but it is Easter themed!  Pretty perfect don't ya think?  Plus some awesome shoes that are in desperate need of a serious shoe shine.  A mason jar and a tupperware cup round out my pull this week.  I love vintage tupperware!  Like I can't resist it.  It all comes home with me.  I get so excited if I find a container that has a lid that I often do a little dance!!  



Look at the beautiful detail of my newly acquired table runner!  I need to learn to embroider.  I would love to make something so lovely.


the rundown:
shoes $5
table runner $2
tupperware cup .50 cents
mason jar .50 cents

total $8

Everyone jump over to Harpers Happenings to join in the High on Thrifting thrifty fun!

Nifty thrifting

I love thrifting.  Like adore it!  I love everything about it.  Including seeing all the rad things that other people thrift.  The picture below is just a few things from our last thrifting adventure.


3 vintage pillow cases, a clear snap polaroid camera and 4 exposed shots, an awesome glass to add to my collection of drinking glasses, and an Olivia counting book.  

I love the books at thrift stores!  It is one of my favorite spots to check.  I was so excited when Nick found that polaroid camera.  Even though they don't make the film anymore and any you find is crazy expensive.  Like whoa!!  I am still tempted to buy some.  The pictures would be awesome.  *le sigh*  Anyways....  I am planning a little DIY for the exposed film.  That will be fun at least.  The total I paid for everyhting in the picture was $9.25 and goes as follows:

Polaroid camera & film- $2
vintage pillowcases- $6 for all three
Olivia book- .75 cents
drinking glass- .50 cents
