Field Trip Friday-My Thrift Finds

August 16, 2013 By Meegan 6 Comments

I just love a good field trip, don’t you??  Today I am taking you on a thrift finds field trip.  Yep, today is Field Trip Friday-My Thrift Finds!  Woo hoo!

Field Trip Friday-My Thrift Finds

Okay, let’s get going…

Field Trip Friday-My Thrift Finds

One thing I CAN NOT resist while thrifting are green or blue bottles.  I mean, how could I?  Look at them in all their gorgeousness.  The bottle on the top left has her own little feature at the end of this post…

The croquet box is quite incredible and was my grandfather’s.  I actually used the mallets from the box to play croquet with him when I was a child.

I found each on of these bottles at a thrift store within the last year and a half.  Without even trying, there they were staring me in the face.  Saying, “Buy me, buy me!”  How could I resist, especially since they were each a $1 or less, right?

Oh, and then the plates!  I just love pretty plates!  And if they have a cute tea cup with them, even better.

I just love the look of these on my coffee table.  They were each less than 75 cents.  AND, some were even a dime apiece!!  SCORE!

Need is my wooden tray.  Oh how I love this tray!  It sells at World Market for $24.99.  Yep, the price is still on the bottom.  What did I pay for it?  $3.  You read that right, $3.  LOVE IT!!

Did I need a tray?  Probably not.  BUT, how could I pass it up?  It pairs perfectly with my glass dome purchased at TJ Maxx on clearance for $8.  A glass dome is JUST what I needed, wouldn’t you say?

My tray also looks beautiful with my shell and coral collection.  Gotta love me a wooden tray with shells.

BUT, my best thrift find this past month was…

This amazing beautiful jar.  She is big, she is green and she was half off the day I stepped into the store.  See the $1.50 tag?  Well, it was half off of that!!

Here she is in all her glory!  Still wearing her tag, I might add .  Yes!!

    Meegan, I have that same croquet box! I bought it at an antique/junk store last year and I have it on top of my kitchen cabinets. We’re twins!

    glass is hard for me to resist. I love the sparkle. Anything that shines, I believe I was a Magpie in a former life. I collect, I hoard and I display. I also have to cut back but when I see a post like this I can relate
