Easter Thrifting

It's not easy to thrift for Easter items around here, well, it would be if all I wanted were dollar store items because that seems to be pretty much all there is!!

I actually found three things yesterday, one vintage for sure, one not new and another thing, probably new!  They set me back $2.50.


It was odd this little made in Japan guy wasn't picked up at Value Village - my kids used to often get egg cups for Easter, there are still a couple here that we use.  This one will not be used!!!


Danish butter cookies came in this tin - it's not very old, but it can pass for sort of old - it's banged up and dented on the sides!


I have been on the hunt for a lamb planter for weeks now, I know I used to see those things all the time, not any more and if I would have been smart maybe I would have kept a couple that I got when my children were born, but they're long gone....  So, out of desperation I bought this, I think it's really cute, I don't really care if it's old or not!  


I'm happy to find anything when pickins' are so slim!!

Easter, St.Patrick's & Halloween

I covered a few occasions in that title, didn't I?  We went away on an overnight trip this past weekend, of course, that involves checking out a couple of local thrifts and also two antique markets - I didn't get anything big but what I did buy makes me really happy!!  It was a fun mini trip, the only bad thing, my iPhone fell down the stairs on Friday and it's kaput, I need a new one ASAP!!  I'm only glad I have my iPad!!!  It's really sad how dependent we are on these devices, and I'm not ashamed to say, that includes me!!


For some reason lately,  I am loving these old honeycomb decorations - I bought three at one of the markets, they were 20% off so I paid next to nothing.  One is made in Denmark, one in US and one in Japan, they all came in the original bag too.  How cute are these??





I had these little Lefton pixies picked up, put them back down and then picked them back again, I'm glad I came to my senses - they'll look cute next to the honeycomb!  They were a thrift purchase.

I have been so jealous when I read about the Halloween Beistle die cut decorations, no more  - I have one of my own!!!
