My last few thrift store trips have brought some fun treasures into my home. First off, four Pyrex bowls all found at one store - what I consider the motherload, as Pyrex has been so difficult to find lately and these were some great colors, especially the larger green bowl.
These are so fabulous that they deserve a few pics!
And one more...
More sheets - there is one store in the city where our families live that always has the best sheets. Every time I go there are so many that I have to decide which ones to put back. If you know where my "motherland" is and live close by, I may even share its location with you if you ask nicely.
A couple of tins that I'm not sure what I'll do with, but the boys are enjoying hiding treasures in them right now.
And a fun napkin holder with some thrifted napkins that are in perfect condition. I haven't bought paper napkins for a long time and have just been using a towel for myself, but the boys have picked up the habit of using their shirts. It's time to break the habit.
I love that a picture of bowls can be so pretty and eye-catching!
Great finds!

Hmmm, I think that a trip to visit you may be called for. That thrift store must be amazing. The rest of my July is planned and my parents and sister are coming in Aug but they wont be here the whole month. We'll seriously have to talk.

I am a little green with envy over that Pyrex.

Even with napkins available I still catch Chugs wiping his face on his shirt. Ewww!

My mother just took Mom-Mom's canister set in the harvest gold like you have. She said it has a tight lid and she's going to use one for storing cookies.
Love your treasures.

Maybe you should buy the extra sheets and sell them in your shop.

I would love to live close to you and go thrift shopping together. I just LOVE thrift shopping. Do you remember the SPCA thrift store here in Davis? my favorite store ever. I love your house and the way you have it decorated. How far are you from la Grande Oregon? We will be there August 10th.

I've been thinking of going to cloth napkins with the kids too.
Great finds, indeed!

Yay for you!!!
I'm head over heals for pyrex too. Just bought a turquoise refrigerator dish on Etsy - can't wait to get it.
Enjoy your finds - they're fabulous!!
