I only started thrifting in a serious way in the last year, motivated by a love of vintage dishes and fabric, and the fact that my sister is going to give homemade canned goods as favours at her wedding, and needs cheap jars. :)<br /><br />By far my favourite find is a bowl and plate designed by Stig Lindberg (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25254510@N02/3939100298/" rel="nofollow">here</a>)...I got the pair for a grand total of one dollar!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-55248166658234297192010-04-27T18:24:01.393-04:002010-04-27T18:24:01.393-04:00You have so much energy!

The colors are so vibrant and beautiful, I do not use them, they are tucked away until I can find the proper container to display them in. Great giveaway, thanks for sharing :) By the way, I looked up "Cincinnati Chili" I had no idea how diffrent it is from what I am used to, but boy does it look yummy! I will have to try this. Do you eat it with spaghetti noodles or rice?Halimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773524104246539240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-57572439882648011552010-04-26T21:30:30.915-04:002010-04-26T21:30:30.915-04:00I dream of finding an old vintage cane blue and wh...I dream of finding an old vintage cane blue and white circular chair and some lovely vintage patterns :)Cate Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068520532566968605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-21192464497430486782010-04-26T16:52:17.535-04:002010-04-26T16:52:17.535-04:00I love getting thrifting inspiration from your blo...I love getting thrifting inspiration from your blog!

I'm pretty sure it had never been worn. The skirt sells new for $149 here in Canada and I'd estimate it has about Cdn $60 worth of Liberty fabric. For $8 at Value Village. At the same time, my fiance found a vintage Swiss fondue set that retails at about $160.

Although, strictly speaking, that was not a thrifty find - I merely rescued it from a friend before she donated it elsewhere. Is that really bad?! Do you think I ruined somebody elses thrifting fun?!

The best find ever from an auction was a hand painted picture of our house!

Like that whatever it is I found has been lonely since everyone has forgotten about it and I came in and rescued it and brought it home to be friends with my other thrifted finds! I think my dream find would be.... hmmm... a Gunne Sax dress that's just my size!! Or a cat-shaped/themed teapot.
