I don't usually do an entire post on finding Vera scarves but I am today because in the past week I've found seven vintage Vera scarves - that brings my collection up to two hundred and fifty one scarves! I'm thrilled to find that many, I just have to share!!
I hadn't been to the local thrifts in a month since I'd been away, they must have been waiting there just for me.
Four beauties at the Salvation Army - $1 each. I love to find those big bold geometric patterns.
At the other thrift down the road, I found two more, I couldn't believe my luck. This was crazy, I only paid 25 cents each!!!
I was away this past weekend, no trip away is complete without getting to a thrift or two - I was rewarded at a Value Village with this cute piano key scarf - I paid $2.99 for this one, still that's not a bad price.
My week was complete - it makes me happy when I come out of a thrift with some Vera!!
My blogging friend, Joann is starting a new linky party, it's called Vintage Bliss Tuesday and as you may have guessed, it's about all those wonderful thrift and yard sale items you find, as well as vintage things you may have in your home that are part of your family history - link your post right here, that's what I'm going to do!!
I bought a few things in the past week - here they are - good buys, every one of them.
It's funny how it goes with the Vera scarves - it's either feast or famine - it has been feast with me in the past week.
This morning I found a scarf at a yard sale - which is a rare thing to happen, only once before has that even happened. It was the black and gold diamond one on the left, it was priced at $4, I said would you consider a cheaper price, she said no, I said I can buy those scarves for $1 at Salvation Army, not those scarves, she replied. I said, yes, those scarves, I collect them and that's what I pay - so I gave her $2 - imagine a scarf for $4 at a yard sale - she wasn't very friendly after I questioned her!!! On Thursday, I found three at Salvation Army, I feel so happy when they turn up like that and especially when they're $1. I made my first purchase ever on Instagram, that's the check mark one, it's a beauty!!
I came home with more Christmas, they are having Christmas in July at the Salvation Army, it's a whole room set up with Christmas, I was there the week before and got nothing, this week I bought these cuties, 25 cents each!!!
The winking Santa is a Lefton, made in Japan, with the Giftcraft tag still attached. The other Santa has a Norcrest sticker attached, crafted in Japan.
I had to buy this - that's all I can say - $2.99 at Value Village, really, who in their right mind could pass up a Butterprint 444 bowl, especially when they don't have one and especially when it's in perfect shape! I was shocked to see it sitting there!!
Just because my kids had these puzzles, I had to buy these for those future grandchildren, they really look like they were never used.
So, that's it - my thrifting for the week!
This is a shout out post and a great big thank you to Paulette, the gal behind the blog, Cheerful Thrifty Door - Paulette has been decluttering in her basement, she thought of me when she was in the process, these beautiful Vera scarves arrived in my mailbox yesterday. How generous is that? You know I love my Vera collection and these are just such pretty additions. Blogging friends are the best, I'm so grateful!! Thanks, Paulette!!
Isn't that heart one the sweetest? That might be my all time favourite in my collection right now!!
Linking up these lovely scarves with Share Your Cup
