I can scan tables and tables of dishware and see in a glance if there's something that WANTS TO COME HOME WITH ME...
Some of you may know that I am in the thrones of finding necessary things forCHECKED bag....25 cents
**
Also found this darling, tiny little cake plate...**
I put a little cheese board DOME on the little cake plate and, beneath, a wonderful**
I have to admit that THIS is my favorite way to display a cloche..
I think I showed you this thrifted olden bell before...remember...
Now, I know this RUFFLED BURLAP RUNNER isn't THRIFTED...
NO SIR...
It was GIFTED !!
THE OLD PAINTED COTTAGE had this beauty as a GIVEAWAY....and I WON !
**
I just found a new, cute place to use it when it's not on my dining table...
across my THRIFTED coffee table...
*
I absolutely ADORE the way it looks here...
Instant texture to a bare, slick wooden table top...
Here's a DANDY old CARDBOARD sign...
It must be pretty olden...only 3 numbers in the PHONE NUMBER for this COAL and FEED store.
*
It's in an ugly black plastic frame so I will be replacing that...not sure I will frame it or
mount it on some kind of board....
what would YOU do with it ?
I AM thrilled that someone put it in a frame because there's no doubt that it preserved it.
This was $2.50
** 
and would you take a look at these AWESOME metal holders...
*
I just about wet my pants when I found THESE on a bottom shelf
at GOODWILL..
I am TOTALLY in love with them...
...flowers
...fireplace matches
...guest towels
...awesome on the patio or fence with REAL flowers...

Yep...I WAS VERY HAPPY with my THRIFT SHOPPING...
SO happy that I decided to bake
A CHERRY CRISP for MR. SWEET...

WELL, as a VERY THRIFTY SHOPPER, I guess I deserve a bowl of it, too....

OOOH! What delicious treasures...your thrift items AND that cherry crisp too!
I love such old signs..I have a few. My favorites are the ones warning Sailors about no nos that were posted around Norfolk VA in the 40s. : )
Have a sweet weekend!
Love,
Sue
Mmmmm BJ that looks delish!!! I've never made Cherry Crisp before...I think I can almost smell it! Wow you found some great finds for your cruise...love the red and the checks. That sign was a real find too...I love old signs. I'm hoping that when we clean out our old barn we find something neat like that...I doubt it though but I'm still holding out hope. Love all your thrifty treasures...you're a good huntress!!!! I hope you're having a wonderful day....Maura
You find the most amazing things when you are thrifting! I never see things like that in our thrift stores. I LOVE the checked bag!!
xoxo
Penny
Nice haul and great prices! I'm loving that runner still, it just looks great anywhere!
Your new red finds are amazing. I can't wait to see what you do with the old sign.
Lots of great finds and beautiful vingettes.
hugs
Sissie
Love this cherry crisp..my favorite! Love the reds too...I am getting to excited for your cruise too!!! :D
Wow, you really did find some wonderful thrifts and treasures. You did really good. I just love them all, but can I please have a small bit of the cherry crisp. I am a tad hungry. lol Hugs, Marty
Well I'm not sure who is luckier, you with all your thrifted treasures or your husband for getting the cherry crisp! Sounds like you both scored.
You are going to LOVE Alaska. I've been on two cruises there and would go back in a heart beat. If at all possible, try to take the helicopter ride to the glaciers. There is nothing in the world like it.
Hugs,
Joanne
I always leave your place with my mouth watering BJ! That crisp looks divine!
I agree that you need to keep saving up for that cruise-I can't believe there is only one month to go-woo hoo!
Best wishes for a beautiful weekend,
Natasha.
I even did a bit of thrifting during my time in Florida. My husband kept trying to get my mind off of things. It is addictive isn't it? I love your things...not at all surprised you grab those red and black bags:)
Sue
Great picture love the tin Laura Q
Now see? Your cherry crisp looks fantastic! I just can't ...well, my food just wouldn't look like that. The sides would probably be all burned...anyway..I will just come and look at your food.
Ok..now...I think..that YOU should host the Hometown Homes meme. You are a Hostess with the Mostest so you do it! I will come, post my little cottages when I have one and we will both be happy! Neat? :)
I love the idea but don't have the nerve to do such a thing or actually even the energy. Hurry before someone else does it. heh heh!
Ok? Say you will! :) How cute..the idea's are endless. You could use a favorite cottage as a button or you can even use this on on my blog. Whatever. I think you should do it!! I do!
I can't wait to start looking for my cottages. :)
So..when does it start? :):)
Hugs,
Mona
p.s. I like your new photo!! So cute! Goodness you photograph well!!
Some really great finds!!! Love the cherry crisp too!!
xxxx
Oh, I agree~
Thrift shopping is just the most awesome fun thing! You found some wonderful deals and especially that sign and metal things for outdoors!
Cindy
Thrift items are great deals and I am glad you found some great ones! Yum, Cherry Crisp!
Happy PS,

Enjoyed looking at your thrifty finds. I just love a good deal too! Very nice photos, and the cherry crisp looks delicious right now, I haven't had b'fast yet.
Great Finds and thats a yummy looking Crisp.. wish we had a sniff link I bet it was great..
Sonny
BJ, you are going to look so chic on your cruise. Those bags are both so good looking, and what bargains! Love your burlap runner! Congratulations! When I saw that sign in your header, I thought it was great and was intrigued by it. I thought it might be a family business. How neat that it was thrifted. I want to go shopping with you - those metal containers are so wonderful! Thank you so much for linking to Favorite Things. laurie
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
Your Cherry Crisp looks delicious! What fantastic finds and I had to smile when spoke of how some items just want to come home with you. It is so very true though. =)
Have a lovely Saturday!
Awesome findings! One of the many reasons on the things that I miss from the US is the thrift shops :D
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
BJ, I'm impressed with all you thrifty treasures. Perfect finds for your trip and lovely new items for your home. I'd take that sign and have it framed beneath glass on a tray. It would look great sitting atop your burlap runner on your coffee table. If you can't find a ready made tray, you could have it framed and add handles to the frame.
Happy Pink Saturday!

Oh, BJ! Lots of awesomeness in this post. Love your finds. Your cake plate is adorable. I also love your ruffled table runner. That is so cute. It does look wonderful on your table. But, I agree being thrifty for the sake of getting to go on a cruise, smart girl!;)
Happy Pink Saturday. I love the metal holders. Okay, I love everything you posted about, as always. I like the runner on the table - nice touch! Take care! Jenn
Hold on BJ! Save some cobbler for me!
Gosh, you got some beautiful finds, my friend ... love the cake plate.
Sherry left this AM & now we are off to Ansel's 9th birthday party.

Hugs and Happy Pink Saturday!

Hello: I just found you on another blog. I need "thrift" help. I seem to always be a day late (not a dollar short). I'm always amazed at the treasures thrifty bloggers put together. I'm going to practice. I see you live in West Texas. We used to live in Lubbock. Wonderful people live there!
I've just become a "follower". Please send chocolate.
Best,
Bonnie
HPS!!
I think you are a marvelous shopper to bag all those terrific buys!! I love the cake plate and then I like what you did by using the top of an old cheese dome on top of it!! Thanks for the great idea!!
What post and hope you have a great time on your trip!!
Debbie
B.J. you are off the hook with the chocolate for now. But, when I lose all the weight I'm planning to lose, I'll be claiming that promised chocolate! = ) Uh, but don't purchase it quite yet--it could be full of maggots by the time I'm down to the desired weight!!
Best,
Bonnie
Looks like a very worthwhile trip! I can't believe the prices!
I am not allowed to go to yard sales..DH says I have enough cwap and that I need to have the mother of all sales!
Your crisp looks good..pecans on top?
I'm a fairly new follower.. probably because of Pink Saturday...Love all of your posts as you do them so well. Happy (belated) Anniversary by the way! Love your blog. Hugs, Peggy x
What great treasures you have! I hope that "Mr Sweet" enjoyed his cherry crisp, looks so yummy!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

B.J.....how the heck are you? Wow...I love that cake plate and that burlap runner,you were sooooo lucky to win that!!! Hope all is well with you and yours,Love Chrissy x0x0x0x
My mouth is watering from all the delicious food and I thoroughly enjoyed catching up on all your marvelous mosaics and beautiful photos. Thanks so much for sharing ...
Hugs and blessings,
What greast finds BJ! I havent been to the thrift store in ages, no time! So I guess I'll just enjoy your great deals until I find time to go:>)
Hi BJ, thrilled to have you drop by. I love all your thriftin' buys. My faves were the cake plate and that fabulous old sign. I was just wondering if any of that cherry crisp is left over for us. xoxo Lynn
Hello BJ, it is about time I came over to visit. We were busy yesterday celebrating our anniversary. We went out to dinner and to a play. The weekend has flown by.
I love your post as always. Lucky you with your thrifty finds. Your cloche display is lovely. I would have fun with the burlap runner. It looks great on the coffee table. I like that wide ruffle.
Most of all you made me smile when I saw the cherry crisp. Girl, I always know something good is going on in your kitchen. Yum.
Love you and I love your sweet love of life.
Jeanne
