My favorite posts from the year are not necessarily my most popular ones but just ones that I like - it's amazing when you go back and check the stats and see what really was your most popular one for the year - for me it was Everything Cookies are so Good that I wrote about in October - I think I owe Pinterest on that one!!
So, here we go - starting off with January - we had just started making homemade egg rolls, it was worthy of a post, in February I joined in on the SMASHing craze with Do You SMASH? and in March it was all about Vera - Scarves were Everywhere -oh, that was a grand day, finding all those scarves!!!
In April I found some beautiful Red Haired Mermaids - Lefton ones to be exact. I found the best brownie recipe in May - it's the only one I make now - you should try it too - right here. In June, I blogged about my old Barbie and her clothes - Loved Barbie!
We went "home" at the end of June so I blogged about The Place I Come From when I got back in July. It was hard to pick one post from August, but I chose $1 Spent Here, $1 Spent There - Pyrex was involved! In September I wrote about Mom's Depression Glass - looking for help on identifying patterns and I got it!!
Carla came home for the weekend in October to SMASH - that was definitely my favourite post. In November I highlighted my 1966 Woman's Day Magazine - that was a very popular post, it was a fun one to do too! It wasn't easy making my December selection but I settled on This is Really Christmas Kitsch - I didn't like having to pack that beautiful piece away today!
It's been another great year of blogging for me - thrifty finds are not as plentiful as they used to be - but if there isn't anything to be found, there is always something in the wings waiting to be written about. Thank you so much to all my followers - I know there are a lot of blogs out there to read, I appreciate that you stop by here to see what I've been up too and maybe leave a comment - comments make my day!!

I get it now how dry some thrift stores can be. Up here in NC, I'm not finding a lot...but never fear, I'm on my way out the door in two seconds for another round of new ones. LOVE the mermaids!
