~Friday Thrifting~

I don't get to do a lot of yardsale-ing because I work a lot of weekends, but I did manage to hit the thrift stores on Friday after work.  I think I hit the jackpot this time.





I found some great pieces to add to my kitchen shelves.






These cute glass dishes.







A few pieces of red and white dinnerware.




And this colorful planter.





I added them to my shelves right away.  I displayed two of the plates on the top shelf.





The pictures don't show it well, but the color of the glass is a perfect match to the plates.





And I added the planter underneath to hold extra towels.




And these sweet birds are new from Pier 1.  Only $3.00.






A freshened up look with some thrifty finds.


Parties I'll be joining...

    I was going to say, after seeing the first two pictures, that it looks like the glassware matches the color in the dishes perfectly! Great score!

    Hi Janet,
    Well, you are a gal after my own heart! I adore your reds!! What great buys you got yourself! I love your shelves filled with the reds; very pretty. I have one of those rooster plates which I found at HomeSense while out in Vancouver visiting my son. Love the little birdies too. Thanks so much for sharing and I'm signing up to follow you because I don't want to lose track of you. Hope you will stop by too and pay me a visit. Hope you have a beautiful week.

    Blessings,

    Those are such pretty little glasses you found and how lovely that they match your plates too. A while back I purchased a few plates in a similar style that Marshalls had. At the time I didn't realize that it was remake of a vintage pattern. They truly are beautiful in your home.
