Thrifting Report
A sure sign that my morning sickness has eased up...I went to a thrift store! I just couldn't help myself a few days ago & stopped in at Salvation Army. Check out my finds:
I found two solid bed sheets to use as sewing fabric. I've started shopping for solids in sheets because I can often find better colors than my local craft store offers. These two are in great condition, are a nice sturdy weight & you just can't beat the price per yard that it works out to be.
I also found this pretty vintage sheet with two matching pillowcases. I love the large scale print & think it would work perfectly in a whole cloth summer picnic blanket or quilt.
Two pretty vintage Pyrex plates. Nice.
And four vintage Mikasa mugs. They are such a gorgeous color of blue inside. Love them. A few years back I found a creamer in the yellow color. I just love this Mikasa design. Feels old & special but so modern at the same time.
In all they're a great group of finds & I only paid $10! Plus the color combination of everything together makes me happy.
Have you had any thrifting luck lately?

the salvation army and goodwill near me raised their prices! Its hard to find things. good for you!
great finds! I love a good bargain.
I get so jealous when I see the things that you find when you go thrifting. Still haven't found any wonderful thrift stores here in Hawaii.
I love seeing what others are thrifting. The sheets are amazing, you certainly have a knack for finding good ones. Also the cups are awesome. Good news that the morning sickness is easing :)
while out on a trip to the thrifts last week i found dozens of vintage linens! i thought of you when i saw them! if i didn't already have 2 giant tubs of vintage sheets (just waiting for projects) i would have bought them. i need to use up my stash first! i did score a floral suitcase! i never find them!
I've been meaning to stop reading blogs on my phone (makes it impossible to make comments easily) so that I could come over and tell you "Congratulations" on the baby on the way. I'm glad to see that you are feeling up to some thrifting!
Nice finds!! I love vintage sheets and pillowcases-the fabrics are just gorgeous!
nice finds""""""I like the vintage-style clothing as well. This stylish looked warm . But the neighborhood not rarely.it's beautiful
I never seem to have much luck thrifting - I'm living vicariously through you!
