Dinosaur Thrift for EVERYBODY

Wow! I found a 'back-pack' full of dinosaurs at the thrift store Saturday. My grand daughter snagged the 'pack-pack', the littlest one discovered a teether, and the big one? Oh, my. He has been making up the BEST stories.

They played with this ALL DAY on Monday.

A bargain at $2.50.

Tiny Tart Tin Pin Keep

This was fun!

I made it using one of the tiny tin tart pans I bought yesterday.

The idea came from the current issue of Somerset Life (i thrift shop so i can afford things like magazines.)

Also thrifted? The wool blanket, the stuffing, the button, and probably even the pin, needle and thread!

The hand is mine. Although, I DO buy hands whenever I find them.

Cute Pictures

Someday, these will hang in my kitchen.
Probably by sunset tonight.
But, they won't look good there until the wallpaper comes down, which will not be happening anytime soon. Oh, well. Hopefully these energetic Sun Bonnet Girls will inspire me...

Tiny Tart Tins!

And, ALL fifteen of them are still there!

I've not a clue what I'm going to do with these, but I'll get my money's worth just from THINKING about what I'm going to do with them.

Maybe some tiny pin cushion?

Miniture soap molds?
Or, even tiny tarts!

Small Bird Platter

Didn't find too much at the thrift store today. Except for clothes.

And two large bags of wool roving, a cheap yet cute angel figurine, a Bob the Builder construction hat, and...

this small platter!

It's been awhile since I've found a platter to my liking, so I was happy!

You know. In that 'temporal happiness' sort of way one feels when one finds something cute.

It isn't marked, but it isn't chipped either.

And only a dollar.

Like I keep telling The Husband God Gave Me, I'm a cheap date!

I'm Sticking to My Budget

Twenty-five cents for an 'occupied Japan' rooster shaker.

Someone had obviously gotten rid of a rooster collection.

I found just two that I liked, and this one proved to be the most photogenic.

Ohhh. I Like This!

I was happy to find this nice copy of Emily's Quest.

And, it's green!

I do LOVE a green book.

And L. M. Montgomery?

Ohhh. I DO like this!

The cover is very nice too. Just that bit of damage that appears in the lower left corner.

I remember reading somewhere that L. M. Montgomery once said that the "Emily" series was the most autobiographical of all her books. I really enjoyed the series.

Maybe I should read it again.
