Little joys ~ $5 or less



Confession: I am a thrift shop junkie. It's been a while since I visited my old friend, but when we come together I'm like a kid in a candy store. This week my dear TS offered up some great finds for the taking. I don't mean to imply that this is an easy task, but if you have the time and patience there are some great treasures out there to be had....and that is the thrill of it. Bringing home a happy piece (or 2, or 3, or 4) that will brighten our home with it's history and charm...for very little investment. Oh joy!
This week's finds include:
Old school sparklers (not a TS purchase, but so much fun) ~ 79¢
Lovely old small and large silver vases ~ $1 & $5
Awesome summer dress (that fits both me and Bri:) ~ $4.95

fun! Love the silver vases. I'm counting down the days to the next flea market at the fairgrounds. Have you ever been to the Carp one? I was thinking about checking that out.

I just looked and I have plans the next two times the Carp flea market takes place (seriously, we generally have nothing to do on the weekends!) The Ventura Flea market is Sept. 27th. I think I'm going to plan to go!
