Some Vera Scarves and a Bag

Even the Vera scarves have become very scarce at the thrifts, when I first started collecting these sweet scarves, it seems I would find one or two everytime I looked, but not anymore, right now, they're harder to find than ever....

But, I do have a few new ones to share....

Found this colorful one before Christmas

This is my first solid Vera - I must have spotted the tag, because , really, how would you know it was a Vera?

Six Balloons sent me this beautiful scarf before Christmas - it's such a pretty design and a ladybug, no less..  Thanks....

My very good friend, Carol, my pen pal since the 70's,  thought this seashell one appropriate for me - I think it is!!  She's a collector too, she was awfully nice to give this one up! 

How smart did I feel strolling around the other day with this Vera bag - Carol sent me this at Christmas - it came from the Metropolitan Museum of Art - I love it!!  Thank you!!!

I was browsing today and came upon a nice link up party at Mockingbird Hill Cottage  - this post really is My Favorite Thing - Vera scarves!  Check out Thriftasaurus too!  And while you're browsing around - head on over to all kinds of thrifty business at Apron Thrift Girl.  I'm also linking with Treasure Hunt Thursday - for the first time

 

Nice!!!

I'm excited to show off this lid...

It's the Zodiac 2.5 quart!!  I found it yesterday at a Value Village when I was away - $5.99.  I couldn't believe it and it's in pretty near perfect condition.

I found this ladybug Vera there too, $2.99

This one arrived in the mail last week  - a small square with  a tiny Vera signature and no copyright - my first one of these..

Hex 404 arrived in the mail today.  I can count on one hand the pieces I've ever bought online, it's just too expensive for me - but the price and shipping were right on this. I paid $9.99.  I love the design!!!

We took a day trip yesterday - drove to Fort St. Joseph, it is located at the southernmost tip of  St. Joseph Island, on Lake Huron - it was the staging ground for the the initial attack in the War of 1812 - this year is the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.  It's very interesting!!!  Yes, that would be me - trying on the children's soldier costume!!  My face is usually not that shiny - it was so hot!!!

That's the view of the International Bridge between Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan - we travelled over, then we we were looking up at the bridge- we took the 2 hour Soo Locks Boat Tour - I highly recommend it!!!!  

I did run in to a Goodwill store there but sadly, no purchases were made!!  Didn't matter, I had a great day, but it was a really hot one!!

Snowflake Fridgies for $1

Very seldom do I ever find fridgies but I love it when I do and it's even better when they're 50 cents each  and they're Snowflake!

Spice of Life canister for $1

I've been seeing these on Pinterest, once I saw a pitcher at Value Village but I left it behind, wishing now I hadn't.   They have a rubber like exterior, I've  seen them called sweat proof glasses and spaghetti glasses, does anyone know anything more about them?  They're really neat - I paid 69 cents each.

I have a Vintage Drinking Glasses board on Pinterest -  check it out here

$1 for Vera

I wanted to show the design on this one, it's a little different from what I've been finding lately.   If you click on it, you can see that it has the lucky ladybug.

I found all these items this week on an overnight trip - I didn't spend much!!!

I wanted to include this sweet book - I bought it on Etsy, it arrived this week, can you tell that it's illustrated by Eloise Wilkin?  It's an old one, it belonged to Jim Edmonds of Memphis, TN.

It's time for Vintage Thingie Thursday - I'm linking up, you should go on over and check it out...
