Three Grayish Things

Today I only hit one thrift store. I've noticed that the turn over is seeming to be a bit better. I hope this continues!

The first thing I found was the small aluminum pitcher. This will be a nice companion for the small aluminum coffee pot I found last year. The grand kids can play restaurant for HOURS, so they will love this.

And another aluminum pie plate for 25 cents. Tonight we actually ate our egg salad sandwiches in pie plates lined with wax paper. I like it. It seems picnic-y!

The wire basket was a last minute impulse buy. Good thing my impulses lean towards the cheap. I'm not sure just what I'll do with it yet, but it spoke to me. Loader than THGGM, who was saying ENOUGH!

Why Pay More for Christmas Decor?

I cannot quite explain why, but I love these little skiers! The lower two I found a few years apart. I'm sure they are nothing special - maybe from the dollar store - but I'm crazy about them. They show up each Christmas season, somewhere in my home.

Yesterday I stopped into my favorite thrift store looking for little boy snowpants. Of course, as long as I'm THERE, I had to look around.

I found the top skier hanging on a Christmas tree. He doesn't have the attached pile of snow and tree holder, so let's just use our imagination and pretend he is ski jumping, shall we?

Is it obvious that I'm not too particular about my Christmas decorations? I never really realized it before, but I like that sort of jumbled up look.

The hanging skier cost 25 cents. I've gotten that much enjoyment out of him already.
