thrifty goodness...

I'm a little late joining in on Sophie's flea market finds but I just had to share these sweet goodies that came my way today...
a skirt, I'm going to stitch on some ribbon straps & wear it as a dress, perfect!
pretty yellow shoes for spring...
a suitcase for storage of my overflowing yarn stash...
& these gorgeous duck-egg blue bowls with a sweet scalloped edge!

happy days...

  7. I love all of it ,you did amazing. It's so fun when you see those wonderful treasures hiding in the middle of a buch of junk. This may be a stupid question but do your thrift store have that little off smell too? I don't care which one you go in it's always the same smell.
    Enjoy those shoes while eating soup your bowl.
