Thrifty Thursday!

It's been a little while since I showed you some of my thrifty finds.  That's mostly because I haven't been doing too much thrifting lately!  This week has been taken up by getting Ben back to school, as a high school freshman.  It's hard getting used to the new schedule.

But; I have managed to get out a few times, and although I'm trying NOT to buy a lot until I get my current stock sold off -- I have found a few things I couldn't pass up.  

A lot of this has now been listed in my Etsy shop.

This children's record, Little Toot, is by Walt Disney's "Melody Time" and is Bozo the Clown approved!  I thought it would look cute framed;

for the same reason, I bought this little Lincoln Unbreakable Record (it's red!) that is made up of children's songs, such as To Market, To Market and The Gingerbread Man, plus many more.

I am completely enthralled with this artist I've just discovered, named Alfons Walde, who painted many scenes of his home in Austria;

this one is from the 1950s, is printed on textured paper, and still wonderfully framed.  I can't bear to sell it because I love the snow scene so well!

I have, though, put this guy up for sale; it's a mustache cup with a great image and the color!  I love the colors!

When I was cutting fringe in a recent craft class, I first saw scissors like this, which cut the task dramatically (pun intended.)

So when I saw a pair at the thrift shop for a song, I had to get them!

If you know me, you know I cannot pass up a button card like this!  Love the color, love the birds, love the buttons!

Then, I visited a brand new thrift store in my town for the first time, and walked out with these beautiful rhinestone pieces: necklace in perfect condition ($4) and earrings ($2).

An iconic Buffalo Bill ashtray; I find these souvenir pieces sell well!

And what would one of my posts be without antique or vintage china...I ask you?

Irresistible.

And the little hankie in back of it was irresistible, too!

I couldn't leave this one behind because of the colors...

especially the blue stripey trim and the little flower on the handle!

The embossed edges get me every time.

Yes, it's Wedgewood.

Spode -- I adore the look of these dishes.

Okay -- I think I'm all caught up with showing you the fun stuff!  Thanks for looking!

I'm thinking about starting my own Thrifty Finds kind of blog party, weekly.  What do you think?  If I did it, would you play?  Post a thrifty find and link up here?

Let me know; I'm taking a poll!
