Mental Health Friday Finds!

Hello and happy Monday everyone....:)
I started writing this post Friday evening and never got to finsih it...until now, so pretend it's Friday when you read it...lol!
 It has been a wonderful day! I took the day off work ...just because! I really needed a mental health day. I am off Monday for Veteran's Day and I thought, why not take Friday too and have a glorious 4-day weekend...:) So, I did!
The hubs took off too and we went on a thrifting day out with my mama and daddy. We had such a fun time! I found lots of treasures....linens, books, dishes, storage, the list goes on. I know you are surprised! LOL...:)
Here...let me show you!

I found this adorable little shelf with the $12.99 TJ Maxx sticker still on it for $3.  It has a plate groove so I can display something fun on it in my craft room. I'm thinking apothecary jars and vintage plates! I already cleaned it up and have a spot picked out for it. I love the scalloped border with the holes...so cute!

I had to have this sweet little rose bowl.

I also had to bring two of these plates home. I wish there had been 4 but no such luck. I'm sure I will run across a couple more in the future! They will go perfectly with the table runner Bev sent me...:)

I also bought four of these fun retro plates...love the grey and aqua blue trim.

There were several small plates and a couple other pieces that I wish I had bought since they were half price. I researched them and could sell them for a good bit more that I would have paid for them.

 Oh well!

I also found some nice linens. These pretty napkins were still new with tags...$3.

This set of four place mats are a pretty shade of blue and remind me of chambray...$1.

I really love these red, woven place mats. They will also look nice with the strawberry plates I just shared in the photo above. They were $2 I think!

And...how about this adorable strawberry pail to use in the tablescape...$2.

This little lamb flew right off the shelf into my cart! Isn't he adorable. He still had a Pier 1 sticker on him...:) I had to have him for just $1. He will be so sweet at Easter time!

Love this USA marked ironstone platter. It is small but I just love it! I think it was $2.

Loved this candle with the typography all over...:)

This sifter was a nice find for my future ETSY store.

Excuse the water spots all over it....I washed it and it looks almost new!

Another vintage pillow case for my future quilt!

I have absolutely no idea what this star is supposed to be. Looks almost like a brander but it isn't sturdy enough. Any ideas? 

It was only $1 so of course it too had to come home with me.

Another sweet little white pitcher (creamer) to add to my ever growing collection.

A like new game for my kinders...$2!

 

And, 2 like new hardcover books for $0.40 each!

This little metal basket will most likely live on the windowsill in my guest room. We are in the middle of a remodel on it and I can't wait to share!

A gigantic hoop for $2 will also live in the new guest room. I am thinking about putting a piece of one of my vintage pillow cases in it...:) Now...to paint or not to paint....that is the question!

Not sure what these thingies are called. I have one just like it but smaller that I bought at a yard sale a few years ago and love it! This one is huge and was just $1!

An ugly but sturdy basket that has already received a new paint job! It will most likely contain magazines.

I bought this for my scarf collection. I was going to hang it in my closet but now I'm thinking it might look cool hanging on a wall in my bedroom. I have some really pretty scarves! Also....again, I can't decide whether or not to paint it.

Thanks so much to everyone who signed up for the ornament exchange...I had 25 participants counting myself which I think is awesome since Christmas is on the 25th! E-mails were sent out and I can't wait to see what everyone receives from their partner. Enjoy making new friends!

Until next time...
