Thrifty Finds - August

I can't believe I have not posted since June.  I could blame it on the weather, the kids being home for Summer, but that did not stop my thrifting. Here are a few pictures of some fun finds I have found. The vintage booth is still doing very well. Enough to pay the rent, plus an extra $75.00 to spend on new items. Pays for my habit. I actually like everything I buy, but the special things I keep. So as I see it, I am breaking even AND having fun.

Look at this CUTE set of darling geese or ducks measuring cups. I have never seen anything like these. This is a keeper.

I saw this chalk sketch print at the Spring thrift store, did not buy it, dreamed about it and then went back the next day to purchase it. It was 1/2 off and only $15.00. A bit pricey for me, but it spoke it me....It is of a lady from the 30's or 40's dressed up with a fancy hat on. It takes a bit to focus in on it.

This vintage beaded handbag was a find. Someone priced it at only $1.99. This was a keeper, as I collect vintage purses.

This item was a big mystery until we opened it. I saw it on eBay for $20.00.  I paid $2.50. Another 1/2 off sale. It is called an "Ingrid" picnic tote. Very mod looking. My daughter kept this one.

And....this adorable vintage Hello Kitty suitcase. It is purrfect inside. :) 

This is enough for now to catch up on. I will post some garden art that I made in my next post. Hope you are having as much fun thrifting as I am!
