I hope this THURSDAY MORNING is starting out just perfect for you...
I went thrifting a little bit yesterday....
♥
Not ALL thrifting adventures can be
OUTSTANDING.....
...such as this amazing (but kinda ugly) MACKENZIE♣CHILDS pitcher.
I am not as fond of this pattern as I am the COURTLY CHECK.
However, it has enuf black and white checks that it surely caught my eye the
minute I walked into SALVATION ARMY THRIFT.

In the MacKenzie♣Childs catalog, this pitcher is a smooth $100.00...
I found the exact same one in the THRIFT store for $1.50.
YEP....ONE DOLLAR and FIFTY CENTS...
NOT a crack, break or a blemish on it.
and it bears the marking of MacKenzie♣Childs on the bottom.

I don't find that kind of thing happening in thrift shops often....
THIS item was a
TRUE AWESOME and A BAG OF CHIPS....
but, I still find things that make my heart sing.
For instance....
I ADORE
Tole Trays....
...especially a BLACK TOLE TRAY
with golden fruit on it.
$1.00 ♥
A PRECIOUS sign to either hang above my bookshelves
or sit on one of it's shelves.....
...and in the perfect ROBINS EGG BLUE color with
pretty writing.
$1.25 ♥
and lastly, on this particular thrift shopping day,
a little RED coffee mug...
.... GREAT to add to my COUNTRY BREAKFAST of
Deviled Eggs with
bacon
cheese
ranch dressing (low fat)
whole wheat toast
and that RED cup filled with DUNKIN DONUTS coffee....the best in the world.

I really don't know WHY but I have this thing for cute coffee mugs.
I like them better than a matched set 'cause they are fun and cute and colorful
and never BORING.
THIS one was 25 cents ♥
complete with TIC TACK TOE/HEARTS
...just a fun little way of adding wonderfulness to your breakfast table. :))
Thanks so much for stopping in.
I hope you will visit some of the parties I am supporting here....
so so many cute things to see in BLOGLAND.

ReplyDeleteDoesn't that just make your day??
:) Now just package that baby up and I'll be watching the mail!

ReplyDeleteHi BJness! Oh, what a cute pitcher and what a steal! I've never seen anything like that before. Love your pretty tray too. You did good.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great week.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh, I love your new header - it's darling.
ReplyDeleteContinue to be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh I love that quote!!!! "A book is a garden, carried in a pocket." :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the little pitcher a lot. And I love the sound of breakfast. Yummy. You did good!
ReplyDeletePS - I also have not heard the phrase "and a bag of chips" in ages. You gave me a smile there. Thanks.
I always enjoy seeing the thrift things you buy! And you always take such great pics and have interesting stories to go with your finds!
ReplyDelete:) Diane
BJ you found some great things at your thrift! I never see anything like those at my thrift stores...
ReplyDeleteHoly canoli, you found some GREAT bargains. I love the pitcher, it looks like you. The mug and tray are fabulous. Have a GREAT day, Pinky
ReplyDeleteThat MK pitcher was a miracle find!Today is my day off and I decided to gather up a bunch of my old stuff to take to Salvation Army this afternoon. It gives me a good reason to go take a look around and I can feel all righteous that I will (probably) get rid of more than I bring home. Lol
ReplyDeletemy kinda mark-down - $100 to $1.50. :)
ReplyDeleteYou found some wonderful treasures!!! Love the little sign for your shelf...very cute!

I am just starting to pick up a few cute mugs. I never really had any, but I love having my morning tea in them...Makes me happy!! That red one is very cute! and that sign is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWow oh Wow! You do find the best things at the best prices! Love the toile tray and that sign! Great finds and great prices! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! I don't know which one I like better, they all look wonderful. Next time you go hunting, give me a ring. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness glory girl. What wonderful finds. I love 'em, I love 'em all!!!
ReplyDeleteI've got a thing for signs and know what they cost and that pitcher...what a treasure. I too have a thing for cute and unique mugs but for a quarter? Girl, were ya packin' heat 'cause that's darn near robbery! Heeeehehehe!
God bless ya sweetie and have a fantastic day!!! :o)
Wow! Your racked up. I'm in the process of moving and trying to be good and not buy anything else. You are making it hard. This made me want to hop down to my local thrift store! Your little book sign is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love that sign!
ReplyDeleteMy GW store needs to take a lesson from some of the others out there. I can never even find anything worth bringing home. That sign would be found for $20-$30 in a gift shop here, you got a deal!
ReplyDeleteAs for the day being a good one...anything beats yesterday (you can read about it if you want) then add in the fact that we were hit (not hard-$1100 worth) by a semi that left the scene last night. I dialed 911, my husband followed him...and the police got him!
What fabulous finds BJ! My favorite is the little garden sign. Thanx for taking the time to come and party at my place!:)
ReplyDeleteWow, unheard of bargain. Someone at that store doesn't know brand names. Kudos to you and your wonderful finds.
ReplyDeleteWow! Can you BELIEVE that? I guess the Thrift Gods were smiling on you that day! I love it- and it goes great with all your other pieces- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteBJ, glad you happened upon that McK-C pitcher. I have one that was a birthday gift four years ago. I enjoy using it and keep it out all the time. I'm rather fond of its CC goodness! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou have great luck when out thrifitng. ~ Sarah
BJ, if I had found that MacKenzie-Childs pitcher in our Salvation Army store, I would still be dancing a jig! Your store is SO much better than ours. And, what a beautiful tole tray (I love them too!). And the cute coffee mug and sign is just icing on the cake. Boy, you had fun for $5.00 or less!!! Wish I could have been with you.
ReplyDeleteBJ,
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual find, indeed! Who would have thougth of finding such a treasure in the Salvation Army Store??? So~o~o glad it found its way home with you!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Wow! What a deal on that MacKenzie Child's pitcher. Love the sign and your bookshelf is so tidy!..Christine
ReplyDeleteGr8888 day for you Bj! Love that cute little pitcher.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! We're on our way home from vacation with a few thrifty finds in the trunk!

Hi Bj!
ReplyDeleteWhaat?!? You got THAT for a buck fifty???
You are just the luckiest woman I know... Always winning giveaways and finding such treasures on the cheap.
My Goodwill is getting too expensive... selling Dollar Store items for 1.99. The nerve of them!

Wednesdays Bunny Hop Party!
Bj, The pitcher was such a great find! My DIL would be having a fit if she knew how much you paid for this. She is a big MC fan. Thanks for joining my party and have a great Memorial Day weekend.
