a week of thrifting

This summer I have been determined not to get "bored".  Last summer I was pretty antsy by week two, and that was even with jury duty!  So, to fill my time and give each day purpose I have been doing the following - jogging every morning, thrifting every day, and reading as much as possible.  Here are a few pictures of my finds, pretty good week if I say so myself!

my fifty cent pyrex find!

found a couple of plates for our china collection - first time in a thrift store!

and yes, that is a giant ashtray, and no, nobody smokes in our home

however, when I saw it I couldn't pass it up, so the husband got it as an early anniversary present

this amazing suitcase (that matches my train case) was only $7

not sure what I'll do with the Ice-O-Mat ice crusher but I couldn't pass it up for $2

I love it on my counter

and finally, not much new on this table

but I am so happy it finally came together

the top of this red dresser has posed to be quite the challenge for me

but now I am super pleased with the pieces

enjoy your weekend
