My Thrifty Finds

Wow, this past Thursday I hit it right!
I found some really neat things.
Some will be put on Etsy some will be saved for the
barn sale. Hubby and youngest son have been working 
on the barn to beautify it, 
while I'm finding treasures for the sale.
A pretty metal message board with cute magnetic rosebuds.

A single file metal drawer.

A bamboo birdcage.

A  little jar perfect for Qtips.

Two glass vases perfect for pebbles and a candle.

A pretty platter.

An ordinary glass vase. I like the shape.

A pretty little pink container.

Four pink swirl cups and saucers.
I think that was the best thrifting experience I've had! People were actually checking out my cart! LOL

SOLD!



Since the store has been closed, I"ve been posting on craigslist.
So far I've sold 2 furniture items. It's inspiring to me but also gives
me the cash to do some more antique shopping. 
I'm looking forward to the warmer weather so that I can get out into the barn
to start transforming it for my sale. 
A few things have sold at Etsy too which is exciting!
Below are a few pics of what has sold and what I've 
just recently posted on Etsy and Craigslist.


Lovely painted black buffet. (listed at Craigslist)http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/yrk/atq/2272225869.html

Beautiful Gateleg dropleaf table.(listed on Craigslist)http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/yrk/atq/2272209896.html 
This beautiful secretary desk went to a really nice lady
  in Toronto.
This china cabinet got picked up last night by a gentleman who was giving it to his mom! 
Apothecary jars seem to be the rage! They are pretty. 
This pastel pink tea set is a favourite of mine.

Winter won't go away.

I'm not one to complain too much about the weather but this is getting to be 
a long winter! It's a snowy slushy day today and to make matters worse, 
I'm not feeling well. Just a cold but I have a headache and body ache to
go along with it. I'm itching for spring and warm weather. So today my
post is about spring and light and lovely feeling things.
Oh yeah, and I've changed my blog to make it springy feeling too.

Baby, Baby, Baby

I'm babysitting my 7 month grandaughter this week.
Daughter and son-in-law went to Florida.
I love her and am enjoying having her except for the fact that I have no time
for anything else. I figure it's only for a week and why not just spoil her.
