Abode finds!

I've recently discovered a local consignment store called Abode. It's the store where I found the cool old tin bread pan in this post.

I was in Abode's neighborhood today, so of course I had to stop and see!

Good thing I did, because I found some really cool stuff! Clockwise from the two flowered pots:
Pots = $2.50ea
Vintage tin = $8
Vintage Bed linens (fat quarters) = $2 - $2.50ea
Pill box = $8
Vintage butter slicer = $4.50

I've got to say I'm loving consignment/thrift stores lately! I'm finding so many cool things to decorate and organize with!

I REALLY need to find my hutch to refinish and get my sewing/craft room put together!

Oh a Thrifting we will go…

I grabbed Lauralee and went consignment store shopping today… what a fun outing! I totally recommend it if you have any consignment shops by you… not as shabby as the D.I. or Salvation Army (although we hit one of those also..), but the prices still remain low! How cool is that!

So I found:

Three AWESOME vintage pillowcases! Shannon has offered, to make us both a quilt top from them if I keep finding them for her! How cool would that be? (Oh yeah, $3 each)

I also found:

This really odd scarf sized thing, but it’s made out of light cotton. And states, “Warriors in Pink, powered by Ford” on the bottom corner.. Odd.. probably a breast cancer thing, but it has a cool pattern on it, and for $1 I figured I could come up with some use for it!

Next we have:

Cool striped hankies, 4 for $3.. another score for the vintage quilt! And check out the tin bread pan! Isn’t that the coolest? I’m thinking it’s going to be used to store fat quarters in. It has the ‘folded’ tin ends.. like an envelope, shoulda taken a pic of that sorry.. scored this baby for $4.25!

The Jelly roll is the one I ordered from Pine Needles A MONTH AGO… it’s intended for a postage stamp quilt (I WAS going to quilt along with P.S. I Quilt’s quilt along, but didn’t get this jelly roll in time), along with my Max and Whiskers jelly roll.. will get to that soon hopefully!

And the candy, the white one is just a variety of fruit flavors, the Violet one is just weird. The first taste is good, but after a bit it tastes like your sucking on your grandma's purse. Dudley said it tastes like detergent. Cool looking, but not the best candy out there...

And last but not least:

On the left we have 1 of the 2 Woolrich 100% white cotton curtains I found, again $3 each. Total score! I’m going to hang them in my sewing room.. don’t know yet if I’ll dye them or not…

And on the right, 3 awesome pairs of earrings Lauralee made me! check out the ones in the center...yes, those are quilt blocks at the bottom! Darling right! I LOVE them all!

So today was rather eventful, hope yours was great fun too!

Consignment store finds…

I found a consignment store not too far from me & decided to go take a look-see this morning… I can totally see getting addicted to places like this. Anywho I found a bulb planter for $2, and a way cool yellow vase for $6. Not too shabby!

I can see this vase now, sitting on my newly refinished shabby green hutch in my darling new sewing room…can you tell what I’ve been dreaming about lately?

I just need to find something cool and useful to put in it! Like knitting needles or something….hmmm

And of course I planted all my bulbs last fall, but I didn’t have a nifty bulb planter to help me! This baby will get some good use this year!
