Recent Thrift Finds

(Just a quick break from trip photos)

While in La Grande last weekend, my sister-in-law and I went for a morning walk with mocha money in our pockets. We came

upon a barn sale...and I found a few treasures.

The little pink glass set up above is intended for Emmalee someday.

I don't know how old it is or how to find out...any ideas?

I know that it's at least 30 years old. The pitcher is about three inches tall with swans in the design.

This little guy is tiny...his head stands about 2".

I love the color of these bottles/jars.

Mom and I spent some time thrifting on Saturday.
It was so much fun...we went to just two Goodwills, but found
a ton of fun things.
The Pyrex baking dish didn't have a price on it, so I asked an
employee how much it would cost. He took a .99 sticker off of another
dish and put it on mine. It happened to be the color of the day, so I got it for .50!


I'm looking for old wooden frames for a collage I've planned.
While digging through the frames, I came across this little guy.
I immediately started laughing and decided I had to have him.

It's handmade, with a date of 1974 printed on the back.

I've decided I'm going to hang him where I can see him often

throughout the day.

These two were also hidden amongst the frames.

Again, I bought them for the frames...the needlework will likely be turned into little pillows. Mom and I were amazed by how many handmade

things made it to Goodwill. If I ever make something for you, please don't send it to a Goodwill near me... :)

I have been looking for a quilt stand for months. This one
will likely get a facelift once I decide which room it belongs in.

I was SO happy to come across this Tupperware set. This set, plus one more of the small ones is currently on sale for $47 on the Tupperware website. My price? .99 each! They mix nicely with the red Tupperware

I already have. As you can see, they were immediately put to use!

There were several handmade blankets/afghans...this

one found a home with us for $2.99.

Jerome, Arizona

(Violet, Mom, Barb and Joy)

We took a windy trip up the hill to Jerome, AZ.

We all agreed what it was a pretty cool town.

It appears to have quite the checkered past...read more here

Red Rock Canyon

Just out of Sedona, we took a drive through

Red Rock Canyon. It's easy to see how they came up with the name.

It was gorgeous.

Ryan and Emmalee, at this point, were no longer impressed

with rocks (no matter what color they were) or with being

in the car, so it was a short drive.

Beautiful!

Montezuma's Well

Just a short distance from Montezuma's Castle,

we found Montezuma's Well. You can read

more about the history on the link found on the last post.

That's a lot of water each day!

My goofy family!

If I had lived back then and had a choice, I would

have chosen to live down here. It's pretty cramped quarters,

but so much cooler than up on top!

It's pretty sad that people would deface history like this.
