THRIFTING is always fun for me...
but sometimes, you really STRIKE PAY DIRT
and then it's MEGA fun.. ♥
The above pitcher is PICADILLY CHICKEN PITCHER
from MACKENZIE CHILDS.
It sells for ♫♪ $100.00 ♪♪
Yep...there I was, just walking thru the thrift store and, loving black and white like I do, I spied this sweet little pitcher from across the room....
our eyes met...
my pulse beat faster...
violins started playing...
I started swaying...

I picked it up, turned it over, and not having my glasses on...
I couldn't read it....but, what the heck...I wanted it.

When I got to the car, got my glasses on...
"Mackenzie Childs...2007"
I found it at SALVATION ARMY THRIFT STORE for
$1.50
that's ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS, YA'LL
I was doin' the happy dance so hard and fast, I nearly fell down and dropped it before I could get to the check-out counter.
Now...this is NOT my favorite pattern of Mackenzie Childs
and this piece isn't one I look at and fall in love all over again.
But....it kind of wears on ya...it looks fabulous mixed in with my
other pieces so.....
I AM HAPPY.

Now that's a fun find at a great price! I'm sure you'll put it to good use-enjoy:@)
I wish we had thrift stores in my neck of the woods like you do in Lubbock. All we have is Goodwill and they are proud of all their things. Plus your timing must be good! Love your little chicken pitcher. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
You are queen of the thrifters, BJ! Great find! Enjoy!
Smiles,

Great find!
Have a great Thanksgiving!
I am so happy you found this! Great bargain and while not my favorite MC pattern either I just love that it was such a great price! Happy Thanksgiving!
How wonderful! I got to buy a few treasures today...and it's just the most fun! You hit the jackpot! ♥
Oh I am with you, I love a bargain and this is definitely a bargainb. Great find. Hugs, Marty
It was meant to be in your home BJ! I told my sons that all my Mackenzie Childs pieces are worth money, and not to part with it at a garage sale.
Enjoy it in good health!
Great find....I always say I heard the angels singing...LA LA!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Enjoy the day and make lots of memories!!
I'm so happy for you...I think it's darling! I just noticed your latest header! Beautiful!

Your find was terrific. It will go well with your other black and white dishes. Have a blessed evening. Madeline
Black and white...just what you like... this was meant to be. I like it too....I'm a big fan of black and white and roosters. Trish
Great find. What a bargain! Woo hoo!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving BJ!! Love thrifting ... and antique estate auctions too!

Happy Thanksgiving.

Sweet...What a find!
I am almost positive that we will be seeing this again...hugs.
I never find anything like that at our thrift stores. I think this will look great with your other things and it is so funky looking, it wouldn't take long to fall in love with it even if it isn't your favorite pattern. Lucky you!
I love it! I love black and white anyway and then when you add checks in the mix then I'm totally hooked. ha! My mom actually has the black and white checked teapot and keeps it out on her stove. I've always loved it. she paid full price for it, so I KNOW what a fantastic deal you got!
Clap clap woot woot! Good for you, BJness! What a steal. It is so so cute too!
Happy Thanksgiving.
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Great find and great price :)
What an awesome find!!
What a huge find. It is lovely. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Joni
Oh wow! You really did find a treasure. Have you researched it to find out how much you'd have to pay at a regular store?
Oh my goodness...that's one crazy bargain. Well done. I wish I could find thrift store items like that!
That is unbelievable, BJ! You got really lucky! I love the black and white but I'm not a chicken girl myself. {I prefer bunnies}. I'd probably have bought it, too, and figured something out!
GIRL, you STOLE that pitcher:) It is mighty cute! Don't 'cha just love finding such a bargain that is SOOOOO cute? Have a blessed day dear BJ, HUGS!
Thou shalt not covet thy blog neighbor's thrift deal...
Leaving now to write it one hundred times.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!!
Gentle hugs,

Happy Thanksgiving sweet lady!

Where's the photo of it mixed in? I think it's cute. I need to take up thrifting instead of always contributing to it! :) Hugs, Happy Thanksgiving, Jenn
You are so lucky - love this...you will never get such a deal...Happy Turkey Day
Just stopping by again to let you know I've mentioned you and this post in my post that's slated for Friday. Happy Thanksgiving. (I smell pe-can pie!) Jenn
OMG! It was meant to be, BJ. I'm doing the happy dance for you right now. Wow! I have one of these little guys that a friend sent to me for my 60th birthday. He's going to have a great home.
In thanksgiving for your friendship. ~ Sarah
