Hope everyone is having a great weekend. It snowed here today…so it was a good day to stay inside and get some stuff done. Plus after going quilt shop hoppin on Thursday and then to the country shop & a couple of thrift shops yesterday…it was good to be home all day. I got most of the angel pins done today. Only have 15 left to paint.
We had alot of fun yesterday…first we went to our favorite country shop that was having a Cabin Fever Sale. And what to my wondering eye should I see when I first entered the shop~
but the Home Tour Edition of Country Sampler, so of course I had to get it. I loved looking at pictures of Linda’s home from “Primp Your Pad at Gathered Treasures”. I also purchased this candle holder for $7.00, but haven’t had a chance to hang it up yet. Not sure what room I want to put it in. I’m thinking maybe the kitchen or dining room. I’ll share another photo after I hang it up.
Our next stop was to a thrift/gift shop…they carry new and old goodies. I purchased one new item and one old item.
This was my new item. I’ve been wanting a sign to go above my laundry room for a long time and it was marked down to $5.00.
The little black pitcher was my old item that I picked up for $2.00. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black one before and I love it!
Our last stop was to the GW…I did find a couple of things, but lately there has not been much to look at. The shelves have actually been emptier than usual, but here is what I did get.
This is a thread/spool holder…I’ve wanted one of these for years to hang on the wall in my sewing area, but never bother to purchase one until now. It was $2.99… so couldn’t go home without it! Hope to hang it up tomorrow and get all my thread put on it. Holds about 70 spools of thread.
This little basket game-board is the last goodie that I got. It was .79 cents!! I’m going to work some magic on it and put it with my other game-boards. I’ll post a new picture of it after I get it redone.
My birthday giveaway is getting closer…only 8 days away until you can start signing up!!
Until next time… blessings, Cindy

I must say you have found some wonderful treasures!
The fabrics are so yummy – especially the darker ones.
I was at the Salvation Army on Friday and saw 3 small white pitchers that I just know you would have loved. They were’nt anqitues but would look great with your collection. I think they were like 50 cent ??? Not sure. I THOUGHT OF YOU WHEN I SAW THEM.

Hi Cindy!
You had a great thrift day! I meant to pick up Country Sampler today and forgot! I did find some back issues of CS at a thrift store (go figure..lol) last week so I have three older issues to hole me over. I used to subscribe but I get so excited when I see them secondhand for .50 that I just add that to my list of treasures to hunt for! I DON’T ever pass up the Home Tour edition though …it is usually so good!
Have a great evening!

P.S a certain swap goodie package was sent off today!!! ;0)

What great prim finds. Can’t wait to see what you do with the flower basket game board. That spool holder is very neat. I have never seen anything like that. Pretty neat to see what everyone can find at different thrift stores throughout the states. Gotta love seeing everyone’s goodies. Thank you so much for always stopping by, leaving comments and for sharing your blog with all of us.
Blessings,
