Time for Some Thrifty Finds!

Here are some fun thrift-store finds:

 

First, look at this pretty quilt!  In the photo above, it's spread out on a Queen sized bed.  I first saw it when someone else had it in her cart, and I was downhearted because I hadn't seen it first.

But then I saw her put it back on the rack!  I asked her why she wasn't going to buy it, and she said she just had too many already!  I'm not sure there is such a thing as "too many antique quilts" myself; do you?

So I was lucky -- it has only three very small holes in it, no stains, and is all hand-sewn and tied; it has some lovely fabrics in it, as you can see!

Even the backstamp is pretty!

 

More gorgeous old china...

  

How precious is this lid?!

A pine needle basket; I buy these for my mother-in-law.  This one was just $5!  (Shh, don't tell her I got it so cheap!)

I'll be listing the quilt and the gold basket in my Etsy shop today; the rest of it is mine! All mine!
