Thrifting Finds

Check out what I found yesterday:  

I spotted these tin cans on my way to work, in the display window of my favourite thrift store.  I thought they'd be perfect to use to store some of my crafty supplies.   

They were still there at the end of the day, so I decided that it was "meant to be".  

More stuff...just what I need.  But I figured I could justify the purchase if I use the cans for organising my sewing/craft supplies?!? 

I was surprised to find that the cans are empty! I was expecting to have to throw out some really old veggies.  They must be reproductions.  

I kind of feel bad cutting the tops off.  Hmmm, I wonder if I could find some plastic lids that fit, to make sure my crafty odds and ends don't fall out.  

My newest thrift store find

A nice pottery mug from Crowstone Potter on Bowen Island.

Not bad for $1.  

Garage Sale Find

I hit a couple of garage sales this past weekend when I was visiting my parents.  I couldn’t resist buying these games. 

Check out the fine print on the yard sale box.   

Too funny!   

Thrifting Finds

Anybody who knows me well, knows that I have a thing for thrifting, finding funky vintage items, and getting a good deal....ok, some deals are better than others.  


I've been quite obsessed as of late, scouring thrift shops for funky fabrics.  Lucky me, there are 3 between home and work, which is a 10 minute walk, so I'm often stopping in to see what I can find.  


Check out what I got today!  

A genuine Le Creuset cast iron roaster for $12.99, in a vintage 70's burnt orange colour. And it's in great shape. What a deal!  The guy behind me in line was disappointed that I snagged it before him.  


Ok, so it's not really craft related, but seeing that I get so much inspiration and joy from thrifting, I figured that it merited a post on my blog!
