Happy Thursday! It's time for another installment of Adventures in Thrifting! We're still getting caught up with a few highlights of the things I've thrifted over the last year. Starting with this sweet paint by number I picked up from Goodwill. I eventually want to either paint the frame or reframe it, but I really like the colors!
Another piece of art I found more recently was this little pansy needlepoint. It needed a bit of help, the frame was damaged and I knew I wanted to spruce it up a little. I ended up painting the frame to look like the edges of a stamp. I am really happy with how it turned out!!
Was very excited to find this Finel teapot in the Kehra pattern. I have a matching bowl!
Another before and after, this time of a very dirty Chemex. My Dad actually bought this, but I helped get it fixed up and in working order again! We've been using a Chemex exclusively for many years and absolutely love it.
I found this little pitcher at the Restore for a couple dollars. I usually keep water in it on the counter to refill my plant propagation station.
Love a good tin, always! This girl scout first aid tin has slots on the back so you can put this on a belt!! So cool.
I picked up this vintage Craftsman carryall tool caddy on the side of the road, for free! It needed some repairs but it's now in working order again!
I was surprised to find this little vintage singer sewing machine at the Goodwill Outlet! It was in this cute plastic carrying case. A great addition to my collection of miniature machines.
One of my favorite table cloth finds! Not sure what I want to do with it yet, we'll see! Maybe one day I'll have a table that is the perfect size for it.
A set of beautiful floral napkins. Since there are only two, I plan to sew them into something! Probably a bag of some kind.
Sweet strawberry napkins and tea towel! The napkins are already being used as napkins but I'll probably cut up the towel!
Always, always looking for sheets and pillowcases!
This was a particularly good day of thrifting! That towel is one of my favorites.
Happy Thrifting!
Very nice finds! Mary in Michigan
ReplyDeleteHi, Jeni - I love your Adventures in Thriftiness! I used to the same and found great treasures. My home is pretty full now, so I don't go out as often, but I do love to see your great finds. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! I especially like the G.S. first aid kit, the tool caddy, and the tablecloth, which I think is gorgeous. It looks like it is just the size for a card table. My mom sometimes used ones like this on our regular table, placed diagonally, between meals.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but notice the painting (or is it a quilt?) on the wall behind the teapot. I love it!
I still have my little singer sewing machine just like in your photo! And i recognized one of the sheets as one I had previously owned too! What do you do with the sheets? Use them for quilt backs? You made a lot of fun finds!!
ReplyDeleteoh jeni, it amazes me what you find on your adventures out.. well done and keep up the good work. and thanks for sharing. (-:
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post. If you have time--how did you clean the chemex? And the cork part. Best. ☕✌️
